So, Where are we at??
I honestly don’t know. La-La Land? The minority report by The Saker was off-course (and as always on his pointed analyses).
Thought-provoking, interesting, and comments section equally so.
But then what??
What is missing here? Pieces of puzzles, however delicately and professionally analyzed by The Saker and all of the brilliant brains posting here is still trees only, and even branches of trees IMHO.
For the Geo-Political overall picture, and pin-point/down to earth analysis this IS the place to go.
However, the future/past of mankind/our souls in a wider Geological/Astronomical/Historical sense (ice ages, Comets, upheavals (any kind) is rarely discussed (touch upon), in spite of solid facts. For one: For every 100.000 years as far as we scientifically can prove, tehere are 90.000 years with Ice AGE, AND APPR. 10.000 YEARS WITHOUT. Sorry about caps).
So consider this: It is appr. 11.000 years since the last Ice-Age. We are overdue. Ice Ages does not come/happen slowly. They do happen very-very fast, always, (like 6 meters of snow per 24 hours for weeks and months (Ireland, during the start of the last one, some 10.000 years ago).
Who can cope with that?
The Cause of recurring Ice Ages?? YOU are on your own, only way, research, read, learn,long journey. Good Luck!! (no links).

The Guns and Butter podcast below might be of interest to you.
The last ice age ennded roughly 28000 years ago, after lasting for aproximately 100000 years.
If you look at the sun on a clear day you may notice it appears to have changed from yellow to bright white, and if your uncovered arm is hanging out the door while driving you might have experienced discomfort, or even pain. Also, it is claimed by some scientists the Earth’s magnetic field is weakening at an accelerating pace.
Something is changing, and although it’s pure speculation perhaps the large scale spraying of metallic nanoparticles, such as barium and aluminum, is the cause of a whitened sun or is meant to affect the earth’s magnetic field, perhaps delaying a well understood cyclical process or even helping to trigger it.
It occurrs to me globalizing elites might know that a polar shift is already underway, and are pursuing their ambitions in anticipation of an enormous environmental crisis, with the objective of large scale population reductions. Who will remember when degenerate Prince Phillip made a speech saying in order to serve humanity he wished to die and come back as a virus, to cull the world’s population of what I suppose are sub-humans in H.R.H.’s sociopathic estimation. Globalist elites have openly stated these goals many times and published various palns to achieve this target via the UN, including well known Agenda 21, now renamed 2030 Agenda.
Speculation of course, but the sheer madness of their behaviour makes one think the zionist ‘they’ know something we don’t.

I should add a note of caution since I tend to believe almost everything we experience in media is invented. There might be nothing to any of this except a desire on behalf of zionist elites to create a worldwide panic, something they are obviously working on in earnest. What is most extraordinary, in my opinion, is the astonishing developments being made in the field of thought control. Most people can be made to believe anything and so the default position of everyone who isn’t a zombified drone should be vigilant skepticism.
I don’t really know what is better, to die from heat or to be congelated. The guys who fought in ww2 on the esatern front, told that in a bitter cold is easy to die, slowly, without pain, just get asleep. It’s a fact that those who were tired and couldn’t march or stand awake, once they closed their eyes for a sleep, traveling deep in their dreams, was very little chance to get them back.
Ho, ho, that generation is gone, some of their real stories are still around…
but in the fringes of death after Oktober 1941 what a suffering
what a pathetic end in all-embracing anti-zion-psyop
And when man thinks the German Army was 70% horse-tracked, what those horses had to suffer too…

We’d better have fusion by then, and help out that lazy old sun, while it naps for a few thousand years.

I didn’t want to stray too far from Kent’s style. LOL.
“Bayer is German, right??”
Bayer is Beyer and the Beyers are crypto-Jewish folks.
Oh, thanks _smr. I thought Bayer might have something etymologically to do with “Bayern” …German for “Bavaria”.
In any case in the USA 50’s, 60’s especially, it was synonymous with “Aspirin” which is how I employed it. No offense, Kent, but I’m an older generation in musical tastes, and regard much that is too new as most basically NOISE capable of producing splitting headaches.
Like COLD AS ICE….with Minecraft imagery that is similarly jarring to my senses.
I’m pretty sure Miles Mathis could have a field day going off in that non-Bavarian “over the counter” pain-relief direction. LOL.
But the results of his discoveries might not be so funny.

From “Mere Humanity: G.K. Chesterton, CS Lewis, and JR Tolkien on the Human Condition,” by Donald T. Williams
“Surely one lesson of modernism is that a misplaced trust in scientific objectivity leads to cynicism about all objective truth. In a prescient passage which uncannily presages the more negative forms of postmodernism, Lewis laments: ‘The physical sciences, good and innocent in themselves, had already…begun to be warped, had been subtly manoeuvred in a certain direction. Despair of objective truth had been increasingly insuited into the scientists…’ In the self-consciously postmodern world the ‘concentration on mere power’ that proceeds from despair of objective truth has been extended to every discipline. All truth claims have been dissolved into an endless flood of jargon; all ideas are dismissed by being “situated” in the all-powerful web of period, race, class, and gender; all ideals are explained away…The acid of the hermeneutic of suspicion has eaten away at the fabric of knowledge until it can no longer hold anything together…”
Interesting article about u.s. regime heroin trafficking from Afghanistan.
Afghanistan and the CIA Heroin Ratline
https://sputniknews.com/columnists/201708251056794770-afghanistan-cia-heroin-ratline/
“In this 21st century Opium War, crops harvested in Afghanistan are essentially feeding the heroin market not only in Russia and Iran but especially in the US. Up to 93% of the world’s opium comes from Afghanistan.
Contrary to predominant Western perception, this is not an Afghan Taliban operation. The key questions — never asked by Atlanticist circles — are who buys the opium harvests; refines them into heroin; controls the export routes; and then sell them for humongous profit compared to what the Taliban have locally imposed in taxes.
Washington spent over $100 billion in Afghan reconstruction. And, allegedly, $8.4 billion in “counternarcotics programs”. Operation Enduring Freedom — along with the “liberation” of Iraq — have cost an astonishing several trillion dollars. And still the heroin ratline, out of occupied Afghanistan, thrives. Cui bono?
An exhaustive Afghanistan Opium Survey details the steady rise of Afghan opium production as well as the sprawl in production areas; “In 2016, opium production had increased by approximately 25 times in relation to its 2001 levels, from 185 tons in 2001 to 4800 tons in 2016.”
Afghanistan is infested by contractors; numbers vary from 10,000 to tens of thousands. Military and ex-military alike can be reasonably pinpointed as players in the heroin ratline — in many cases for personal profit. But the clincher concerns the financing of US intel black ops that should not by any means come under scrutiny by the US Congress.
A Gulf-based intel source with vast experience across the Pentagon-designated “arc of instability” tells the story of his interaction with an Australian intel operative who served in Afghanistan; “This was about 2011. He said he gave US Army Intelligence and the CIA reports on the Afghan heroin trade — that US military convoys from the ports of Pakistan were being used to ship the heroin out of Afghanistan — much of it was raw opium — for distribution as their backhaul.
No one answered.
He then cornered the key army intelligence operations and CIA at a meeting and asked why no action was taken. The answer was that the goal of the US was winning the hearts and minds of the population and giving them the poppies to grow won their hearts. He was then warned that if he brought this issue up again he would be returned to Australia in a body bag.”
The source is adamant, “CIA external operations are financed from these profits. The charge that the Taliban was using the heroin trade to finance their operations was a fabrication and a form of misdirection.”
A Pakistani intel source with vast Pashtun/ tribal area contacts delves into even more incendiary territory; “According to our best information the CIA has brought in their al-Qaeda-Daesh proxies into Afghanistan to justify the additional American troops”. That would neatly tie in with Trump being cornered by his generals.
And then, there’s Moscow. Last week, the Russian Foreign Ministry was adamantly denouncing “foreign fighters” transferred by “unknown helicopters” as the perpetrators of a massacre of Hazara Shi’ites in a northern Afghanistan province; “It seems that the command of the NATO forces controlling the Afghan sky stubbornly refuses to notice these incidents.”
It does not get more serious than that; Moscow denouncing sectors of the US-trained Afghan Armed Forces side by side with NATO engaged in covert ops supporting jihadis. Russian intel has hinted — discreetly — for quite some time that US intel is covertly sponsoring Daesh — a.k.a. “ISIS Khorasan” — in Afghanistan.
Russian intel is very much aware of the Afghan chapter in the New Great Game. Russian citizens are “collateral damage” of the Afghan heroin ratline as much as Americans. The Russian Foreign Ministry is tracking how tons of chemicals are being illegally imported into Afghanistan from, among others, “Italy, France and the Netherlands”, and how the US and NATO are doing absolutely nothing to contain the heroin ratline.
Well, Air America, after all, never died. It just relocated from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the arid crossroads of Central and South Asia.”
VT, Dope Inc has been “hidden in plain sight” for a very long time. A couple of centuries, in its modern form.
I’m sure you already know, or else won’t be the least bit surprised to hear that those whose scent you are most finely attuned to sniffing out are up to their ADL memberships in this one. Yet, it would appear that the Z part of the AZ Empire are second tier compared to the Anglo part.
In 1978 or 1979 I picked up a copy of Dope Inc “Britain’s Opium War on the USA” written by Costas Kalimtgis, David Goldman and Jeff Steinberg. Yes, there are Jews that the ADL cannot bludgeon into line.

Epilogue
This is probably the same text that I began to look at around bedtime some 7 or 8 hours after purchasing the book at a book table a block away from a major university, some 41 or 42 years ago.
It is not a small book. I was unable to put it down. I did not sleep that night at all. I finished Dope Inc around 11 am the next day.
Jeff is the only one of the 3 authors still in the fight, to my knowledge.
The alliance against this anti-humanism is getting stronger. It took most of Jeff’s adult life, however this major flank in the effort to defeat the AZ Empire can be turned, in our lifetimes as a by product or contributing factor in the effort to Stop The Empire’s War on Russia.
I am convinced that if 5% of the Dead Asleep Americans ALONE had understood what was in the Dope, Inc book 40 years most of the horrors of the last 30 years could have been nipped in the bud before 1990.
But instead, a lot more casualties (and growing, including here at home) were apparently “necessary”:
https://youtu.be/Hgpg7zInvZ0 The Opioid Epidemic: A Deliberate Policy
There are significant differences between the hysterically attacked President Donald Trump and LaRouche. Trump became what Robert David Steele calls “the Accidental President” because he was regarded as a kind of joke by the Deep State, who would be the most likely to lose to Hitlery.
They never made that mistake with Lyndon LaRouche. Unlike Trump, they knew that LaRrouche was on to them in, in fine detail, in almost every main respect, as principled adversary with some considerable international intelligence capabilities. And at 94, still is that adversary, with some decent chance to see victory. Though that may take living to 104 years of age.
I was shown photos, personal snaps, taken by squaddies from inside their base (Bagram?) of poppy fields being worked directly outside the perimeter wire.
So, an open secret, no change there then.
The current per year output of Afghani heroin by the CIA corporation is worth close to 1,000,000,000,000 $ according to Jim Willie, yes, that is up to one trillion $.
Do you know what is most ironic? The addicted end-consumers of the drugs are directly financing the criminal enterprises (war, torture, murder, blackmail, extortion, etc.) that drove many of them into drug addiction.
I was going to post on this issue yesterday, but was too busy.
The main source for much of the exposure of how the drug trade is financing the Intel agencies covert ops is Alfred McCoy, US investigative historian.
Here’s a very interesting article on the subject by him:
http://www.tomdispatch.com/blog/176321/
Ps A Vitchek has learned from Afghans that the British are also involved.
Quel surprise.
Usually I do put a gun in my hand for purposes unknown to others. It,s a Zen thing, perhaps, or it is actually in the same realm of table tennis, and god/love has definitely nothing to do with the decision.
I have noticed at least one “marksman” on this blog bragging a little bit about his skills etc. (you know the character I assume, if you’ve been here for a while).
Point is. Even though guns (especially handguns), primarily are developed to kill other human beings, using them as (I kid you not) as “weapons of enhanced consciousness” without hurting anyone, is actually not to bad as parts of paths on your personal journey. “Zen in the Art of Archery” with a twist.
That being said, I doubt that the majority of handgun owners in the US have ever contemplated the deeper philosophical/human, whatever aspects of the art.
As in modern medicine, farming, Geo Politics, environmental issues , general politics, space exploration., Economics etc-, etc, principles in all sciences, perceptions, down to the very basics of brainwashing, are based on very simple principles (nail/hammer-Screwdriver/nuts and bolts, basic perception of practical life.
The minority complexes, Emotional conditioning, refined through centuries, close to perfection in terms of actual influence/impact however devastating effects it has on the general present population of this planet should not, however discourage anyone from using natural and honed skills in shooting (whatever weapon(s)). On a variety of fields. What is a soldier (warrior), and where is the battlefield?? There is no commander, You choose. Start where you live, neighbors, friends, relatives, local bar/restaurant, be friendly, focused (don’t shoot anybody), and adjust locallty without loosing focus.
Back to shooting. If, you can focus, and have the “will”, all “technical” training,pulse,concentration techniques, how you hold the gun etc.etc.will not enhance your natural abilities to be a good shooter, it will diminish them.
Even if you are a novice, look, point, fire. Enhance that, forget about most of the technical stuff (don’t start with a.50 caliper, .22. will do just fine.
Shoot with your mind ( Gun or not). Anywhere, anytime. Where you are at, follow your instincts/gut, do not hesitate to much, and you will be relatively safe, (family, close associates,relatives,karma)
Karma might seem to be a bitch, and a bad one as that at the moment. Itr really isn’t.
So. Shoot with your mind, first and foremosttand if you really have to, shoot with your gun, Principles are all the same.

They that have power to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:
They rightly do inherit heaven’s graces
And husband nature’s riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.
The summer’s flower is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

The Trump Presidency has become confusing for most and many are resorting to laughable memes while others are questioning his ability to govern . If any astute observer cares to look beyond the negativity then certain patterns are beginning to manifest . Trump has lost the ability to form a White House Team , this has been obvious from the outset , Trump has not been able to promote any of the promises that he chirped during the campaign . So what is left in the Trump repertoire not much most will say ,but there is a Trump Card so to speak and that is the fact that he has become a ‘contrarian’ a predictably unpredictable person somewhat like a ‘HEYOKA’ a joker of sorts . This gives ‘him’ the opportunity to make all of us not only second guess ‘him’ but more so the Deep state that actually runs the Govt. By playing the role of the Heyoka President Trump is raising the awareness of the people to question and simultaneously bringing to the ‘front and center’ the men with the Teflon Suits that prefer to remain in the shadows .
Akua Tatu
Indeed. Zion prefers golems, ‘artificial intelligence’ and zombies – that is, perfectly predictable enforcers. Trump, even though he is of perfect crypto-Jewish blood-liner pedigree, is too much of a trickster for the masters of the universe to feel comfortable with.
So far all Talmudic tricks the politburo has employed to derail, shame and punish Trump haven’t worked as advertised in the vast literature of rabbinical commentaries. When cornered at gun point, Trump has the nerve to tweet out some indecipherable nonsense like
Crooked Hillary still wants a recount !! Covfefe #
and the show goes on. If it is true that every country has the president it deserves, the USA in 2017 certainly deserves Trump. : )
I like trickster tales so this view on ‘the Trump effect’ interests me.
Do you think that he was deliberately chosen as part of the Big Reveal by the manipulators, ie. part of the master-plan or is it more a case of an opportunistic fitting of an explanation to a done deal after the inconvenient fact?
The result is the same and Trump isn’t quick enough on his feet to come up with such a plan so I personally think he is an unwitting pawn, but I am interested in your take on it, however partisan.
For the Record–,

I Like the edge, the rapid fire kinetic energy of Kent’s Target Practice at the Vineyard Shooting Range.
I wrote something contrapuntal but it was apparently put on ice.
I don’t mind. Clearly mods like the continuous shots too, and I can’t disagree with letting all the ammo go in one 2-3 hr salvo.
Reminds me of a recent cryptic comment on a blog where a crypto-currency versus precious metals gold/silver debate was raging:
“Lead is a precious metal, too.”…….the loner, who clearly was more interested in his Third Option dryly observed.
Who can disagree with “Take your best shot.” ???
https://youtu.be/lD4KK1wh1RM
And keep taking it.
Apparently Hindus dig Karoly Takacs as much as Hungarians do. But their intense worshipful reverence of the Best Shooter (is it in the Bagavad Gita or something?) in that Hindi-English accent was just too much for me.
So, I found a version with no Hindi priests sermonizing….about the transcendence of it all…with a Swan Lake sound track. Put together by a lady from India! Naturally, I guess.
I don’t think it is something peculiar to Hindus, the entire subcontinent has a deep and abiding obsession with getting into the Guinness book of records—for anything that requires long-term skill and practice.
They go for some very odd records indeed, fascinating to explore and wonder at the possible motivation behind some of the choices.
I think what Kent is trying to say above is : he will gonna leave. I would be glad if I misunderstood his words because I appreciate him much with his observations, musics and art. He most probably has much much more in his pocket than we were let to know about his creativity and personality. Is this “war of attrition” so tough that people are getting wounded, leaving the battlefield ? Hey, this is not a competition between us, rather a place to share thoughts. Just imagine, if ioan (or anyone else) will intervene to each comment with a reply (which is almost impossible), that would sound very annoying for many and truly so. That doesn’t mean that the comment hasn’t been read or watched or heard (music). We have developed a great respect for each other in these years and that’s why – as mundo says – we all are Brothers in Arms. As for me, I shall never forget that.
I’m unruffled! My wings are tucked. I ain’t goin’ anywhere.
Just call me DuckDuckNoGo
A million horny priests ain’t freakin’ me out.
Nor sullen trigger-happy norski’s that can’t fit their square heads in Dennis’ Round Tunnel of Love.
How do they ever get born??
Some want more communist comrades like themselves, others want straighter shooters like themselves.
What would freak me out is another me. Shutter that thought!
And hold that mirror. Take it elsewhere, don’t bring it here! I like to go barefoot in my little corner of the vineyard and don’t want bloody feet from any broken mirror glass.
However I wish a commenter and her mentor would return and do some holding up of a different sort of mirror with improved optics for Dennis to get new politically communal perspectives on his favorite subject, so that he sees the possibility of Love and Chastity existing in the eighth decade of life……even for males that missed out in their earlier years, and didn’t “get it steady” enough, back then…..when nightly three-peats were no big deal….IF,IF,IF you were more into goddesses than God, that is .
No wonder he got sour on the Patriarchal Almighty!!
Anyway, everyone has their own problems:
One of my arms has not recovered its mobility from frozen shoulder and the “good” one is in danger of also freezing up ……so Learyan Mirror Duty Forever is not a given!
Trouble is, that energy and passion of those left ladies (that were loaded enough to travel to the Levant whenever they felt like it, to encourage other communist comrades “to fight like lions” went mainly into announced imminent departures, so that sometimes I wondered if I were not in an international airport here, rather than an international vineyard.
But since depature announcements were banned by the Vineyard owner, has anyone noticed how rare that such clear and unambiguous departure notices have gotten?
I mean, if you really ARE taking off, shouldn’t you announce where you are going, so like-minded others could join you there?
I don’t get the purpose of occulted announcements that only Roumanians can understand.
Are we in frickin Bucharest, or something???
Anyways, I search for a workhorse mirror holder collaborator, for Dennis Duty, but so far, in vain.
But if one volunteered and offered relief, what would I do?
Sweetly bid adieu, Board the Bird of Blissful Boredom and take my leave in eternal rest???
Rage!, Rage, against the flying of THAT flight!

Bro 93,
What you need for a complete frozen shoulder recovery, is a good clinical physio who will examine you and give you a set of exercises to be done religiously at home. He/she might also manipulate the joint to break up the adhesions, if necessary, which is painful but bearable and productive.
I’ve had two. Took me about six months with each one to get it back to full mobility with no more pain.
It can be done without steroids or surgery, but you have to commit to doing it for yourself.
I’ve got a Stones earworm now, (you’ll regret doing this to me, Bro 93. :)

This is what I wrote to Ramin in another thread. He decided not to answer.
“I was talking about 14.000 Europeans in som very small Iranian villages. We have to send the so called refugees to small villages in the middle of nowhere. Other places are full. We have hundreds of thousands of refugees. The no go zones are scary. Policemen and firemen are attacked and I will never go there.
The immigrants do not plan to adapt. They want us to adopt their ways. This is a recipe for disaster.
There are many millions of Iranians and the Poles could not change the composition of the country, but som European countries are changing fast.
Han chinese people move to the land of the uighur and how do you think “the natives” react? It is the same in Tibet. This is human nature. Especially when those who move in think they are culturally superior. That is what happens in Europe. Our women are despised and raped and we must all become Muslims to be accepted.
I am not in France or the US and I assure you we have no go
zones.”
This disturbs Ramins multikulti. “Be silent, you Europeans. Muslims are the best there is.” Yes? When my daughters are afraid in the evenings? Honestly, I hope they will be sent back to Africa and the Middle East. Why not send them to Iran? Do Iranians want more African heritage than they already have? I think not.
There were terrorist attacks these days in London, Brussels and Marseille. The authorities sometimes say mental patients are behind it, but I don’t believe it. I want to walk on safe streets. As safe as in Florida or in Teheran.
Cambrils demonstrates against the brutal assault. Poland refuses immigrants. Good. How about Russia? You all know.
This is the first time I feel I am possibly censored on the blog. I have been here since soon after the coup in Kiev and learned a lot. Saker sometimes took my by the ear, rightfully so, but I was always published. I am a friend of Russia and somewhat speak the language and know the country. Now I write about immigrants in Europe and where are my comments? I have a daugther, who is terrified on the subway because of the immigrants, aka refugees. And that does not count? It is not enough to stop and smell the roses, you need to stop and try to understand how others feel. Feel free to count your many blessings, if you remember the song.
“Anonymous” as you aren’t a recognised commenter – you may be a troll/or not – The Saker site has a very clear moderation policy and if you don’t adhere to this then your comment will go to the Saker who makes the final decision. I have checked and the 2 comments above at 2.32am and 2.57am are both yours – so please explain what censorship? You only seem to have appeared in the last few days – not for years…..Mod
I was hesitating at first, because this is a cafe. But okay, off we go.
I’m here only for a few months, but I can assure you that if there is anyone pointing at the danger of immigrants in Europe, it’s me.
And I haven’t been censored at all. I don’t know what happened to you, but this is not a censoring blog for political reasons imho. Behaviour, that’s another thing.
If your daughter feels terrified on the subway, I’m feeling really sorry for you and her but well, join the club.
I’m from Western Europe -like you, I guess- and I can only -partially- repeat what I have already stated here.
I have heard from many fellow Germans, just regular people, that they don’t want to go into the centres of cities in Nordrhein-Westfalen again. These districts are completely in hands of immigrants gangs. You’ll get harrassed, attacked and robbed. And the police is powerless.
A colleaugue of mine, and he is a really big and strong guy, was threatened once in Essen. His wife filmed it with her smartphone and they went to the police. They told him to let it go. They knew him, he appeared to be a member of a Lebanese gang, and they told him that when he would press charges, they would come to his house to hurt his family.
Train stations are in the hands of gangs, German women are avoiding public pools more and more because they are attacked and raped by immigrants. Yes, really.
Though there are still women who swim in the deep parts because their potential attackants can’t swim that well ;-)
People disagreeing with me? Yes, that happened, will happen and that’s fine. The Saker that took me by my ear? Yes, that also happened already and he had a point. That’s okay, we’re only human. Hey, we are not only here to get our predestined opinions repeated, but more to get new insights. At least, that’s how I see it.
But censorship? No, I haven’t personally experienced that.
I do hope that I have had the opportunity to calm you down a little bit. In the meantime, have some cappuccino ;-)
Cheers, Rob.

I think many citizens are embarrassed by their government’s lies, distortions and general propaganda BS. Here is Canada’s state broadcaster’s swill about Canada repelling a potential Russian invasion of Latvia -and it’s beyond humiliating and pathetic:
Canadian presence in Latvia reduces danger of Crimean-style takeover, Latvian ex-general says
“The NATO battle groups — known in military terms as the enhanced forward presence battalions — are small in size, but they are nimble enough to prevent the infiltration of Russian covert forces. Those forces were known in Crimea as the “little green men” that employed hybrid warfare tactics”
“Latvian border guards and their dogs patrol a section of the heavily fenced frontier between Latvia and Russia, which would be quick to fall in the face of a Russian invasion.”

It’s enough to make you gag.
Another fun ride with Miles Mathis through times past. We are in the times of the Crusades, that takes as a whole make about as much sense as the events of Charlie Hebdo, Sandy Hook and Charlottesville taken together.
Miles, probably more aware than anybody, that the ruling crypo-Jewish families advance their agendas by deceit and deceit only, started contemplating what a black-is-white deception would entail in the case of the ‘Crusades’.
“Well, it would mean that Western Europe wasn’t invading or conquering Jerusalem: no, impostor was invading and conquering Western Europe. But how might it accomplish that, short of an overt invasion? We have no evidence of an overt invasion – as in big Jewish armies moving from east to west; so do we have evidence of a covert invasion? Yes, we do. I have shown you piles of evidence in later centuries, so we should look for similar evidence in earlier centuries, the centuries of the Crusades.”
…!! With this more than outrageous working thesis Miles begins his provisional decoding of the Crusades. Hold unto your hats, friends, we are entering terra incognita.
Miles Mathis – Phillip III the Bold & the Crusades
http://mileswmathis.com/phillip.pdf
I had a quick look at Miles the Bold’s latest offering, having remembered that the game is ‘six degrees of Kevin Bacon’, not seven, as previously stated.
I had a few laughs but The Bold One gives himself away in the first paragraph:
“Think of the Princess and the Pea. Just as she could feel the pea through any
number of mattresses, I can spot the truth through any number of lies.”
—-he must be the first person ever then who is infallible and immune to deceptions of all kinds.
I, amongst many, many others who give it a smidgeon of thought at least, can spot a blatant example of confirmation bias when it smashes me in the face like a two ton truck. (In simple terms, you find what you are looking for if you try hard enough)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
Ego is a necessary biological fact, a motivator for Dennis and Miles (and all of us, to some hopefully lesser degree….LOL) and the greatest obstacle to vision within.
From the little that I know of the Crusades (a Venetian Perpetual War, Mind Control and Financing Both Sides Deception…is pretty well proven, to me) and from the brief intro by _smr, I would not think Mathis’ Crusades research is worthless or a waste of time to consider.
Yet, with the Ego-Driven Confirmation Bias clouding inward vision (that comes with his boldness and self confidence) one must probably tread carefully into Mathis’ mind to avoid being carried away by his inward myopia.
I’d like to follow up on what Mathis says about the Crusades later today and going forward unless the guy loses his bearings completely and blames everything 100% on various Shylocks, and lets the Doges of Venice escape into the shadows of history
That’s the point though, he’s an unreliable narrator, at least in this field the Crusades, which itself we only know about through other unreliable narrators all with their own patrons to please, agendas and axes to grind.
Perfect grounds to make it all up as you go along–and he does that with gusto.
He’s make a great novelist if he could only jump off his various personal hobby horses sometimes.
Bull’s eye. I love Mathis when he writes about “modern art” — he really deserves a medal for those essays — and a great painter. However, he seems to have recently developed a bizarre thesis that every rock star who died young somehow stage-managed and faked their own demise, and are living comfortably in External Exile to this day. (I simplify, but M. did this to Lennon and Cobain). Speaking from personal experience, this is not only supremely unlikely, but perhaps impossible. Rock musicians, sad to say, have been conditioned to ill mental and physical health, a conditioning that takes a lot of willpower and intelligence to discard. From my observations, people attracted to being “stars” are often lazy, insecure, and in obscene need of a*s-kissing and self-worship. You make a choice — you either do it for the music or for the sycophants. I think Lennon’s death is fishy as hell, but the chances of him being together enough to stage the scheme Mathis posits is near zero. As for Cobain, well, he was hyped to death beyond his talents and personality, had no clue what to do about it, and was in the worst situation imaginable with his “wife” and a nasty addition to the big H. Very sadly, musicians sometimes die young and commit suicide when they shouldn’t, just like anyone else in this national asylum.Plenty of my friends are gone way too young who shouldn’t be. Mathis knows the art world. He’s best when he writes about what he knows.
I don’t think F. Scott Fitzgerald faked his own death either. Fitzgerald is one of that “greatest generation” of bad novelists, like Hemingway, that were forced on us in this country in high schools in the 20th century. Fitzgerald isn’t hard to figure out, he’s exactly the self-obsessed undeveloped pseudo talent he claimed to be. Occam’s Razor apllies, above all, to popular culture, Mr. Matthis.
Finally, photoshop alterations to old pictures on the internet weren’t so easy a hundred years ago.
My take, and no offense to Mathis, who is a brilliant man and always interesting to read. I’d like to chat (argue? With drink in hand?) with him one day. He has the art world (which I know a little of) down pat. This is the era of the modern internet and he can write about whatever interests him. I just think he’s wrong sometimes, that’s all.
MM is great.
Mainstream history and culture ARE bogus.
MM grates away at it.
He’s great at grating.
I also love his earlier work about art, for example this masterful essay on the National Portrait Competition. This isn’t just an artist writing about art, which is rare enough. This is great, passionate writing — my favorite work of his.
http://mileswmathis.com/ng.html
Internal Exile USA,
Yes, that piece is masterful.
I wasn’t aware that he had previously written professionally as an art critic, and that makes me even more aghast at his current online obsessions. The man is or once was a clear thinker. He is either pandering to the gallery now for donations or has lost the plot in some other way.
He understands the lure of ‘hot button’ issues in both art and politics, so him hitting some of those buttons so doggedly and repeatedly in his later stuff strongly indicates that he has sold out for the revenue.
Someone, I think maybe Bro 93, posted some Shakespeare upthread:
‘But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.’
That applies to anyone who has once courted approval using deception only to be subsequently unmasked, as Trump would understand were he also capable of clear thought or useful practical deeds.
” and that makes me even more aghast at his current online obsessions.”
Yes, exposing Zionist/Bankster skulduggery throughout history would make certain people aghast. That I can understand.
I’ve read numerous articles on so-called altmedia sites that never once mention the (((elephant in the room)) — that is more of an insidious misdirection than any number of speculations about genealogy and history.
If you don’t accept that most Western mainstream history and culture is bogus then you haven’t got it; that’s my opinion at any rate. 9/11 and the War on Terror are the latest massive fakes; just like the fake “race war” being conjured in the US. The latest. So just project back that revelation and you start to understand that the matrix does exist. Never-mind that the Western elites state in their own text books that democracy is merely the “intelligent manipulation of the people”.
All major wars and revolutions of the last few centuries were engineered by the global financial class. End of story.
You are correct, that is your opinion and, like arses, everyone has got one.
It might be the ‘end of the story’ for you but most of us are not living in a fairytale. Reality has other ideas and not even Miles the Bold can predict what will happen.
Its been done before, many times. Read up on Pol Pot and the original use of the term ‘Ground Zero’.
Or don’t.
I don’t care either way.
I will leave you to your simplistic confusion, and wish you godspeed in your barren future without history or culture.
I am out of this conversation with you.
“I am out of this conversation with you.”
Of course you are because the (((elephant in the room))) scares the heck out of you. I fully understand. Welcome to the true nature of democracy — total manipulation; total surveillance. We even engage in self-censorship now.
IEUSA,
p.s. There is a verse in the Katha Upanishad, 1-III-14. that is true and uses one untruthful word (impassable) as a well-intentioned psychological goad:
“Arise, awake, and learn by approaching the exalted ones, for that path is sharp as a razor’s edge, impassable, and hard to go by, say the wise.”
I’m not a Hindu, so have no dog in that fight either, but those chaps really knew their audience and how it would likely react. They took no prisoners at all.

Thanks so much for that, I like versus 12 and 13 also.
I have sympathy for Mathis, am saddened by the fact that artists & interesting spirits are finding themselves down their various rabbit holes these days. I suspect that he gets far more public interest in an essay on poor Buddy Holly faking it all than he ever gets from an art world that has banished realists for 100 years. You can easily prove, for example, that the Music Industry is and always have been run by the usual jerks (A. Klein comes to mind), but to assume that everyone _involved_ in that (now dead) “business”, i.e., those who wrote the music, were in on the scams completely beggars belief and is inconsistent with the facts as I know them. In fact, every big band of the 60’s and 70’s was ripped off by the charlatans, including Beatles, Stones, and worst of all J. Fogherty. Laurel Canyon is, true, full of suspicious characters with spook connections, but again, _everyone_ can’t be in on it, nor are these puppet-masters as tremendously intelligent geniuses as some seem to think. Most are just cold-hearted, psycho money grubbers. Wall Street and Washington and Langley are full of them. Twisted and sick? Yeah. Geniuses? No.
So I sympathize with his anger, very much so, but at the end of the day a rabbit hole of infinity mirrors is still looking into a mirror, a mirror containing yourself. Assuming you’re somewhat normal, who wants to live there? The music, the show, the painting, beauty in general, must be more important than the money-worshippers who rip everyone off. One must expose the fraudsters to further knowledge, but Beauty in any form is the only way we ever beat them, ’cause the Ponzi guys of the world are notoriously incapable when it comes to beauty that stirs the human heart.
Otherwise, we are stuck in _their_ creation of a infinite rabbit hole. That sounds like hell to me.
Thanks for your posts and the Dire Straits link. Great to hear them again!
A French and German surname of Mathis comes from the ancient Hebrew term ‘Matityahu’ which means gift of God. It is also a form of the given name Matthew. Various spellings for Mathis include Matieux, Mathioue, Matieu, Mathius, Matieues, Mathieues, Mathieu and Mathieux. In France the surname originated in the Burgundy region. In England most with the Mathis surname live in the southern coastal counties of Sussex, Hampshire and Surrey. Also in Southern Wales are several Mathis families. In the United States the states of Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Illinois, New Jersey and Tennessee have higher populations with the Mathis surname. Famous: Edith Mathis (singer from Switzerland), Johnny Mathis (singer), Buster Mathis (professional heavyweight boxer), Samantha Mathis (actress), Terance Mathis (professional football player) and Jeff Mathis (professional baseball player).”
Oh deary me.
Some of you folks, are getting nervous, will you make a change for a single day with me ? But never mind, just keep going, like Johny Walker (or with that bottle) My life is anyway not boring at all (LOL!) Here is some ususal from my part, some sort of poetry :
Take me Home
Take me out from this mess !
Too much curses, too much stress
Too much sorrow, too much cry
Too much tears for those who die
Take me out from this mess !
Who will curse and who will bless
Who’s my brother, who’s my sister
Who will fill the hate’s canister ?
Take me out from this mess !
It will be always just a guess
Will be peace or will be war
Which one knocks at the door ?
Take me out from this mess !
I don’t like their play of chess
I don’t like to be their fool
Cause I’m not at all a dull
Take me out from this mess !
Who downing more or less
Downing statues and unity
Till the statue of Liberty ?
“Bring it down, bring it down !”
Cheers the crowd like a clown
“What’s the color of her skin ?
” She’s gray, maybe green… ”
Take me out from this mess !
Take me out from lying press
Take me out and far away
Take me home, then it’s OK !
So true, ioan,

A explanitary piece on the latest move by israeloamerica to attack WikiLeaks, part of the now open moves to move the usa from defacto police state to a formal police state.
The US Senate is trying to brand WikiLeaks a ‘hostile intelligence service’ — whatever that means
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/401065-wikileaks-congress-spy-hostile/
The implications of this are worrying.
What does the deliberately strange phrasing ‘collect against’ mean in “collect against (Wikileaks) in the same way they collect against Al Quaeda” ——given the US fondness of euphemism for its unsavoury aggressive acts?
Drone strikes all round?

“tryingto set up Assange for rendition no doubt.”
Along with anyone associated with WikiLeaks, or uses their published material, or is thinking of providing similar public services, or provides a factual counter to the zionazis zio-gay disinfo and psywar machine. Eventually, zionazi, inc. plan to eliminate all those with still functioning brains. This explanation of the novel “1984” is applicable to this aspect of the zionazi full spectrum dominance being quietly, incrementally implemented.
Orwell 1984: Looking for the Thought Police? Try Looking in the Mirror.
https://dissidentvoice.org/2017/08/looking-for-the-thought-police-try-looking-in-the-mirror/
“Orwell distinguished between the “inner party”, the “outer party” and the “prols”. This classification is very important for comprehending the whole process. Propaganda — that is the constant manipulation of data in forms to create what counts on any one day as “true” — is directed primarily at the “outer party”. The “inner party” is not concerned with what is actually true, this virtually invisible group is interested only in power. The “outer party” is governed by rigorous ideas of truth and virtue which have to be policed — precisely because the very idea of “truth” is a policing tool — not unlike sexual purity. The “truth” is of no material importance to the mass — the “prols” in Orwell’s depiction. But the “outer party” — the intellectuals, the bureaucrats, middle managers, functionaries of all types whether in the state or private sector, in short those who claim citizenship based on supposed intelligence and virtue/merit — need constant policing.
They must be told not only what is fashionable but what counts as true or as the acceptable/polite consensus. These people cannot be left in abject ignorance since they are needed to maintain the system. They are in short the “Gene Sharp factor” — the percentage of the population with which one moves the whole. (Ironically the first edition (1993) of Sharp’s From Dictatorship to Democracy was published in Burma — where Orwell began his police career.) They are too numerous in comparison to the “inner party” to be ignored but not as disorganized as the “prols” so that they cannot be beaten down physically as a mass.
Perhaps Noam Chomsky does not focus too much on his observation that it is the middle class intellectual/managerial class that is the target of most regime propaganda (most heavily propagandised) because he belongs precisely to that class. In fact, on some issues he might be confused with an asset of the Thought Police — coming too as he does from a central US Thought Police institution — MIT.
Orwell was an Old Etonian. Eton College is the pinnacle of the “outer party” cadre institutions in Britain. It is run for the “inner party” and many of the “inner party” are also Old Etonians but the English public school is notorious for enforcing class distinctions even among those of the same college. All Etonians are equal too, some are more equal than others.”
Yes Chomsky, sadly, is working for the opposition. Anyone who can say 9/11 was not a Mossad /CIA operation, that the government story is true, with a straight face, is clearly either insane or working for them.
RT et al seem to have gone along with the fairytale, Comrade. One may speculate on why they do, but as you say and as every thinking person can see, the story is a fairytale…
I suspect RT goes along with the story in order to avoid cogitative dissonance. For now. For a good reason.
And that they will “discover” (gasp!) that the story is a fairytale at just the proper time…that will be the “good reason”. It’s strategy….

Why do some Russian ambassadors die? Probably because they are old
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/400996-russian-ambassadors-die-msm-conspiracy/
Article talks about problems with Russia’s diplomatic service. This being mainly due to the yeltsin years. Provides insight to a subject I’ve not seen here discussed about in this manner (that I recall).
For those who want to have a bit of gallows humor in considering what was considered bizarrely funny in 1995 as to now what is now close to the horrible truth. Canadian Bacon by Michael Moore when he actually was a critic of the power elite.
https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=canadian+bacon+full+movie&docid=608054310101125613&mid=A87F3EC2FF4249EFA277A87F3EC2FF4249EFA277&view=detail&mmscn=vidans&FORM=VIREHT
I believed it for over 30 years, until I went to one of my local pubs in England, and I saw this cover band, doing the Police. They put on a really good show, and behind the Police song “Walking on the Moon”, they projected a video of the Americans walking on the moon. I hadn’t seen it since I was 15 years old. However at the time – about 15 years ago, I was doing quite a bit of video editing from my own photogrography.
My mouth dropped wide open in astonishment. I know about the moon’s gravity – about one sixth of the earth’s, but the video of the Americans walking on the moon, did not look right. It looked to me, as if they had merely slowed it down to about half speed. But the moon’s gravity is not like that, they should have slowed it down to one sixth speed, and they should have bounced 6 times higher ( a bit like zebedee in the magic roundabout – when the BBC used to be brill)
I thought, well, I’ve had a few pints of beer, maybe I am wrong. I don’t like being deceived, particularly about something I have believed to be true for 30 years. So I spent the next week or so investigating further…and I found this
“Stock Footage: Apollo 17 lunar take-off”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIKRkvCKri8
I immediately noticed the slight zoom out, and the pan upwards. The only problem with this, is the time that it takes to get a signal to the moon, and get a response back in order to make an adjustment. It takes a few seconds, and would not be possible to do it from Houston. Whilst they could have left the cameraman on the moon, I don’t think even The Americans would do that.
Now Houston has a problem. It’s raining a lot. My niece was heavily involved in rescue efforts and finding accommodation for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. She just happenned to be a Professor of Maths at the local university, and being English did rather a lot of organising…whilst the American “Rescue Services”, were even worse than useless. Even 10 years later New Orleans remained a disaster area. They hadn’t even cleaned up the mess. Have they done it yet?
It might be raining a lot in Houston, and the advice I read, was “stay in your home…do not hide in your attic, but climb on to your roof”.
At least its not raining American Bombs on Houston yet.
But, I am not impressed, and neither was my niece, even though her son is as American as they come. They moved back to England, and now live in Germany.

Racist Organization receives Bonanza of “Anti-Racism” Donations
https://dissidentvoice.org/2017/08/racist-organization-receives-bonanza-of-anti-racism-donations/
”
In the wake of Charlottesville, numerous Americans have come forward to oppose racism in a variety of ways. In some cases this has taken the form of donations.
As a result, some allegedly anti-racist organizations have seen a financial bonanza. The main one seems to be the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which saw a 1,000% spike in donations – more than half by first-time donors.
There’s one problem. The ADL is a major supporter of racism.
On its website, the ADL claims it works to “secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
Unfortunately, that is far from the truth. The fact is that the ADL works to maintain oppression and discrimination against Palestinian Muslims and Christians.
The ADL’s number two focus, listed right after its claim to speak out against “bigotry, discrimination and injustice,” is to “stand up for the Jewish State of Israel.”
Part of charlottesvile psywar op is to promote zionazi interests, as the “good guys”, and equate anti-zionism with the confederate/white supremacist fringe. And trump, and the zionazi tuppence regime as a whole, are playing their assigned role here.
They don’t call the ADL the American Drug Lobby for nothing.
The problem is that while Trump never peed on prostitutes in Moscow as “former” MI-6 Agent Christopher Steele’s phony dosier alleged….the dosier passed from British Intelligence to John McCain and then on to James Comey……AND I seriously doubt he ever screwed children on Jeffery Epstein’s Island in the Caribbena (or else he would ALWAYS behave as McCain and LIndsey Graham do, as good little blackmailed bitches for the Monarchy) he was associated in his early days in Manhattan Real Estate with Mob Attorney and pervert Roy Cohn.
So there is a significant degree of mind control and compromise that affects The Donald.
However, nothing quite like that degree of abject slavery and degradation which affects the Treasonous Perverse Bobsey Twins, John McCain and Lindsey Graham.
Bro 93,
“former” MI-6 Agent Christopher Steele’s…..”
That is precisely what still bothers me about Dr P.
‘You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave’ (Hotel California)
The alphabet agencies are remarkably similar to cults in that regard.
An open mind is good but not so wide open that your brains fall out.
I had a strange dream last night. It involved Merry Olde England and the Emerald Isle, and Ojai and brought forth in me a vague but uneasy sympathy for Tony Opmoc and Dennis Leary. With fatigue, the line between waking and dreaming becomes blurred.
And, in waking, one readjusts the pillow, and again, “turns the other cheek”.
Dennis put a long quote from one of my posts in the “Oh, Mother! Café” and elevated his weakness as a strength (explicitly, in his own words, here: /moveable-feast-cafe-2017-08-23/#comment-395096 and warned that Reason is something to be suspected as both dangerous and shallow, as it woefully lacks the lovable weakness that he and The Donald share in common.
Oh, Brother!
Seriously??? THAT’s Supposed to “cut the mustard”.????
If I had my druthers he’d get a just a tad more serious than a lot more petulant, when facts tend to box him in, and he resorts to the Ego of the Esoteric Eroticist as the Way Out, as his handy-dandy Ejection Seat to bail out of the discussion while declaring himself the Winner, the Seer of Truth.
We are all looking for Truth and Beauty and its expression in Love in both microcosm and macrocosm.
However , it is a plain fact that Non-Truth (for “Truth” cannot contradict itself and retain any beauty worth loving!) is far easier to spot (as contradictions are easier to spot than supporting evidence…) than the essence of Love, in its microcosmic and macrocosmic expressions, is ever as plainly evident to us.
I fully comprehend that this petulant resistance to Reason can bring private comfort in Ojai and many other places, but as a Method I seriously doubt it’s efficacy where the reality of multiple millions or billions of other human beings weighs into the equation.
Try it in court, for example, among just a tiny few other humans of varied and conflicting interests.
THEN, Dennis, let me know how that works out for you. Okay??
More worrisome, would be Trump trying such Dionysian “feel good” solipsism on the world stage. Greatness comes with the degree to which solipsism is reduced in the fallible, imperfect leader, who with mighty effort rises above Ego, not to the degree to which it is resorted to, IMHO.
Trump needs less of that sort of “weakness” Dennis refers to as a strength, not more. And that’s the only reason such a matter is worth discussing here. Despite the fact that Dennis is unlikely to ever agree with such an inconvenient, unpalatable idea, others less entrenched and set in their ways, just may see the contradictions and dangers of a Donald (or anyone else, including themselves!) “made in the image” of Dionysus.
Not to pick on the Greek God or his manifestation in the Irish Leprechaun that switches from Lover to Petulant Sod, when reason is running low in the olde mental reserves tank.
I think it is something about overcoming the small self of Ego for a necessarily incomplete but fuller expression of the larger Self of all of humankind, coherent with as many true principles of the Universe as is humanly possible.
In that regard, recognizing clear contradiction IS humanly possible! Especially if the will and courage to follow up on discovery are there. The other requirement: The Brains.
Dennis certainly has that part of the necessary Triad.
But the carping about China (do you prefer the British, Dennis?) or Mrs Silk Road Lady as some sort of person with a greedy motive…… in favor of some cockamamie “Me good, I Love Me! Me weak, but that’s my strength! Believe me! I FEEL IT! DEEPLY!!! Doesn’t that do it for YOU like it “does it” for ME??” world view will not cut the current strategic mustard of avoiding WWIII, IMHO.
So my answer is: “Uhhh, well, no, not quite, Dennis.”
Not even close!
In transport, its got to physically work, not just emotionally work for your OMOR = AMOR = Love Map to the Love Bower to Get Laid concept of infrastructure. I can just see The Donald, with you at his side, unveiling that one! LOL.
Anyway, that’s why a compact national economy of highly developed infrastructure (like Germany’s) with highly efficient low costs of transport have a huge logistical and cost advantage over Russia’s, with its vast distances, for example. Yet, solvable with technology and investment capital generated by those Chinese, practicing Win-Win-Win Love, rather than the Irish-American “I’m alright, Jack, in Ojai..screw 4.5 billion people in Eurasia….can’t they just stay down, and never “expand”??” variant of Bettleheim Syndrome British Imperial Indifference to the fate of the bulk of Humanity.
SOO…. this is, in fact, “turning the other cheek”, showing more patience for those that are more persuaded by the Dionysian approach to economic development, or non development…..than OBOR……lest they remain unwitting Empire dupes.
I’ll give some background in this café as to why that non-development approach is NOT loving, NOT peaceful, and in fact a grave strategic danger, recognized by Putin, Xi and quite a few Americans and Europeans and others around the world that have thought some of these things through more rigorously and for far longer than some others that are tempted by the nostalgia of stasis…..standing or sitting still, and DOING nothing but meditating and “Thinking Love Thoughts”.
Some Love Deeds are also required.
One of those deeds for the USA would be massive repair and upgrade of crumbling infrastructure.
Trump IS right on that score.
But how does he get from “here to there”, from the Empire of Unpayable Debt back to the American Republic in a World System of Sovereign Republics?
Turning the old Home Depot motto inside out for Dennis and Co (he is definitely NOT alone!) I would say: Trump (or his successor, should he fail) Can Do It. YOU Can Help!”
If there is any interest in learning some further basics of the situation in the first quarter of the 21st Century on Planet Earth, that is.
I’ll try to pull something together after lunch.
The most precious thing in life, is your health, your family, your friends, and the opportunities to work hard and create something worthwhile. If you are very very lucky, you might find someone to completely fall in love with, and look at each other – and say – hey let’s get married and make babies. (we have a Grandson and another on the way)
The worst thing that can happen to you – when you felt really lucky – you were doing really well…is for The Americans & The British & The French to (for no reason you know) TO DROP BOMBS ON YOU
Whilst you survive, your wife is dead, and you are left with your child with her arms and legs blown off
And We do This..The RAF do this…
Do you want to see some photos ..do you want to see the blood and the bits?
Or do you want to fly above it and not realise – You at The RAF wedding – it is You who are dropping bombs on these kids..
Tally ho?
Us British are Disgusting.
We are still doing it.
And Yes, I have the photos of the wedding..you even invited me in.
We declined.
Tony
Yes Tony, the person’s life needs are as simple as that. And you’re right, the problems are fomented from above, than the below reacts, and there is interaction between ( as to make things more complicated ).
Is the Belt and Road Initiative “Chinese” or is it something more universal?
It’s a lot less Chinese than Dennis thinks, and I want to help him or people like him get over a mistaken, possibly racially prejudiced impression.
I’ll just pipe up and stick my helmet above the trenches because I happen to know something about the genesis of the greatest infrastructure idea in world history, not because of any genius on my part, but just because I was privileged to be on the scene, to be a close reader and observer of exactly how Helga Zepp-LaRouche, a German woman, happen to become credited by the Chinese with being “The Silk Road Lady”.
There’s plenty on the internet to substantiate that point, but I don’t want to bog anyone down with reading, with30 year old articles (The seeds are there ….I read them at the time.) , when there is a very new one available:

IDENTIFYING WITH CHINA
By Chen Weihua in Washington | China Daily USA | Updated: 2017-08-18 12:09
“Helga Zepp-LaRouche sees Belt and Road Initiative as fulfilling lifelong pursuit by her and her US political activist husband, Lyndon LaRouche.”
reads the subtitle headlines.
Now, is Helga a money grubbing “businesswoman” or ambitious power hungry psychopath, like Hillary Clinton?
No Dennis, she is not. Here’s one aspect of how she got involved, in her own way, in a way that Lyndon never had a chance to, yet, so directly, in terms of China:
The narrative of the China Daily article gets right to that aspect in 1971:
“Helga Zepp-LaRouche was 23 in 1971 when she embarked on a Swedish cargo ship to travel the world. The trip took her to a number of African and Asian countries and included several months in China.
The young German had just finished her training as a journalist. “My generation was still curious about the world. The youth of today, they just Google about things from the search machine. I want to see what the world looks like,” she told China Daily.
China was still in the midst of the “cultural revolution” (1966-1976), and as the ship had to be repaired in Shanghai, Helga had time to observe Chinese society and interact with local people.
She saw gray-painted warships at the mouth of the Yangtze River. She attended organized tours, visited people’s homes, factories and a children’s palace, and she heard modern Peking Opera played on loudspeakers.
She also met German-speaking Chinese, discussing with them politics and learning what life was like in China at that time. She found people were “kind” but said, “People were not happy at all.”
Helga also traveled to Qingdao, a seaside city in Shandong province that had a lot of German influence, as well as to Tianjin and Beijing.
In Beijing, she toured places like the Summer Palace and was even tempted to learn Chinese but soon realized that it would be difficult and take a long time. “You have to stay here, or you forget it. But anyway, it really started my interest in China,” she said.
Helga, who now travels frequently in China, felt it was fortunate for her to see China at a time of “cultural revolution” (1966-76).
Life-changing trip
Of her seafaring in 1971, Helga said she was shocked by the extreme poverty she saw in Africa. She described it as “such a shocking experience” and seeing Africa “from the bottom”.
“I came back from this trip with the absolute conviction that the world had to change, had to be improved,” she said.
The rest of the article should be read by any serious person who wants to know more thoroughly what the heaven or hell they are talking about, instead of just shooting off their mouth.
What I want to assert, perhaps shocking to some, is that even while The Old Silk Road may have been more Chinese than anything else (though a lot of peoples benefited…) The New Silk Road is more German, than Chinese!!
How so?
Because of Helga?? No, I would not say that, and I don’t think she ever would either.
Because she listened deeply to her husband’s economic development expertise, but she is German, he is American, and she has been to China a lot since 1971, and he has never been there?
No, I would not say that either. She is too modest, and in a different way so is her husband, who does assert his own contributions to economic science as a physical science concerning the physical, cultural, moral reproduction of the human species, not the financier/rentier shell game of “money” but while doing so, he modestly admits that he is fundamentally just “a very attentive, devoted student of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.”.
Now Leibniz is a deep subject that goes to the root of discrediting the gods of Empire “science” like Isaac Newton but raising that controversy is not my purpose here.
My purpose is to suggest that Leibniz was arguably the greatest Universal thinker of the last 300-400 years and as such was dedicated to Humanity, not any particular patch of real estate on this planet, and certainly NO PART of the planet’s ruling oligarchy.
In that regard however, because Leibniz was German and was definitely the primary influence on the originator of the New Silk Road or World Landbridge conception, linking the Americas to Eaurasia and Africa through the Bering Straits Tunnel, I want to advance the provocative idea that OBOR is more German than Chinese!
But I concede, at the same time, that Leibniz was a Universal thinker that sought to advance all of humanity, and saw in the best of China, especially its Confucian philosophy a beautiful congruence of thought with Christianity, and indeed, the best of European Science and culture, and therefore OBOR is possibly the most Universal Economic idea in world history, and belongs to everyone, as a gift to Humanity.
Leibnizian influence, was also present in Russian Science. Helga’s husband, accordingly, has been much more involved in Russia than in China, which in partnership with his life partner, he assigned to his (German) wife.
That is a different subject, but not really, for it does partially explain the Russian officlal government receptivity, cooperation, and crucial participation in OBOR.
Naysayers should go deeper to understand what this BRI/OBOR really is.
In a very real way, It started in 1988 at Berlin’s Kempinski Hotel.
More evidence of my “German Origin of OBOR” thesis! (Just kidding.)
At the time, I didn’t know what on earth laRouche was talking about. But in time, in a year or two I got it what he said in 1988 in West Berlin:
https://www.schillerinstitute.org/lar_related/LaR_Kempinski.html
That should be quite enough for now.
Very interesting Bro.
Liebniz was our ‘to-go-to’ philosopher in college, along with Dostoyevsky.
Both were a big influence on my thinking, precisely for the ‘universals’ you mention.
Very sad what’s happened to Germany, and their now endemic lack of critical thinking.
I was on my way to bed when I stopped here. I simply must acknowledge Bro’s prodigious output, some of which involved myself. I am most grateful for the issues he brings up. I can’t do them justice now but I intend to so so soon.
The matter of obor has taken on prodigious proportions of its own. But again, I must defer addressing the matter. I am not avoiding it but only wish to give it its due when I am rested.
I also read through half of Miles Mathis’ article on the Crusades. It’s a tribute to this cafe that such topics arrive sychronistically with my own personal development. Like MM and the Princess of the Mattress Pea, I feel when something isn’t right, or at least is partial to a fault.
The second commander of the Love Army has sent a couple of persons my way with orders regarding my diet. If I follow this instruction, it will mean major, major changes for me, which ties in with serendipity to what Bro is saying about yours truly. My intention is to feast tomorrow to eat the large watermelon I just bought and the oranges that I picked, and on the day following to start a 21 day water only fast. I can hardly believe I’m even saying this, but order are orders.
Oh, don’t you just love this place? A marriage of true minds if there ever was one. It’s now 9:33 pm here. All those 3’s speak to something more than reason, as does the 93 of Bro’s chosen name. When you add the three provocateurs, ioan, mundanomaniac and teranam 13, as the survivors who I am familiar with from the Old Days Cafe, along with Bro; when so many others have faded, for I’m sure quite good reasons; and the new mix of youngsters, supplementing the old timers who I have not named, who have had less but not to say unimportant impacts on me; oh say, White Whale, for one of many examples, is it not a wonderful sight to behold?
All right, I have overstayed my welcome. I hope I can get a full night’s sleep; I am going to need it for understanding the issues at hand, and for my pending water fast. If I make it through this gamut, well, it will make or break me.
Love, Dennis, Ojai, California, 10:00 pm Pacific Time, 5:00 am UTC, 8/27 and 8/28 respectively, just to situate ourselves in space and time respectfully, relative to your own space and time situation, under the Absolute Aegis of Love
Bringing It ALL Back Home
I searched for the crescent moon on my morning walk in the predawn darkness. But what Dennis saw 28 hours ago or so (if it were 5:30 am yesterday it would be higher above the western horizon today, lagging later….not hidden earlier….oh yes, he walks at 1:30 or 2 am….makes sense) was hidden somewhere.
Where?
There’s a lot more marine layer here in the OC than in the Inland Empire (San Bernardino and Riverside counties) but the blanket is not as thick as that snug gray wool one over Germany. This morning it was clear, but nary a Waxing Goddess did appear.
She favored Dennis, the Early Riser, like herself.
And Mundanomaniac whose Jungian Third Eye sees the constellations and planets through Bavarian ceilings, attics, roofs and foggy grey blankets that only the highest Alpine peaks shrug from off their rocky shoulders.
The Friday LPAC webcast first half was a lot of review of the China Daily article on Helga, but when I saw it last Friday night, I thought: “Bill Jones kind of Brings It All Back Home…..in terms of helping Trump and Dennis escape the clutches of geopolitics…..if anyone can.”
And, he’s so much nicer than I am!
https://youtu.be/2vSVNgddOvY?t=1507
at the 25 minute mark where my link starts Bill Jones (EIR ASIA EDITOR….main person accompanying Helga in her frequent visits to that region….) breaks it down, for those who know that The Donald is staggering from round to round, recovers some vision when he “gets out of town” (DC that is….) and may yet die in the ring or get KO’d unless something shifts soon…..and they are still in his corner….and can’t quite throw in the towel….YET.
I think what Bill Jones suggests will work better than anything else that I know of.
See what you think.
And if you have some better advice to bend Trump’s ear (and the millions of ears of his increasingly worried base) with, out with it NOW!!
Time is of the essence!!!
Dennis, two songs with lyrics. The first from a true Irishman, about the H block prisoners, 10 of whom died on hunger strike. These people knew suffering. Fast if you must but at least make it a soup fast at your/our age:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q98EcxrOr6w
Lyric: https://www.christymoore.com/lyrics/ninety-miles-to-dublin-town/
The second relates to Thatcher, the battle of Orgreave and the long, bloody miners strike–they knew suffering too, fitted up and jailed for dissent. Maggie coined TINA, ‘there is no alternative’. Talk about tunnel vision!:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zja63r8O2jU

There is an alternative, there always is unless you want this:

Actually Dennis,
You remind me of my father (English military) who was a narrow minded, brutally vicious piece of work his entire life. When he got old and could no longer get his way by bullying, with his fists or otherwise, he became maudlin and would threaten suicide if not given what he considered his due as Lord-of-all-he-surveyed.
There’s a word for that but I’ll post a hopeful painting instead as I don’t really know you well enough and urge you to try the soup instead:
http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dali-metamorphosis-of-narcissus-t02343
Eventually everyone got wise to it and said ‘Well, get on and feckin’ do it then, you’re getting boring’
( the F-word is courtesy of my Irish Republican mother, another piece of work. Thankfully, I met far, far better English soldiers and Irish Republicans after I fled.)
He never did commit suicide, more’s the pity, but lived on to torment anyone he could snare, but not me, Never Again.
Is China really ‘weaponizing’ it’s control over water sources in Asia?
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/china-weaponizing-water-22053
Wonder what Simon and J think?
Eimear, sorry for the late reply. I have just returned from a far country to my home. What do I think? China’s attitude is for win-win solutions and live and let live. China won’t weaponise her water resources. She will divert some water for her own needs from rivers that flowed from the Tibetan plateau into other countries like India, Cambodia and Vietnam but not enough to disadvantage or threaten those countries. She will build dams for hydro power, but hydro dams will continue to allow water to flow down to the lower riparian countries.
I don’t think China will use threats of stopping water supply – the life of nations – to get her own wishes. She will rather use money – which in the final analysis is far cheaper overall than threats and war.

We used to say Pax vobiscum, peace be with you, in the monastery. So be it now, more than ever.
Today is the Feast of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin and Mother of God in the East. I just read the sidebar under the icon about the Dormition. It brought joyful tears from my more innocent youthful days. Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, my namesake, was at Mary’s second life bed. His feast day is October 3, the eve of the transition of Saint Francis of Assisi. The style of Mary’s story is very similar to that of the Little Flowers of Saint Francis of Assisi.
[I just hit some key or other and lost the last paragraphs I wrote. What the hell? I cussed to no avail. I blame the Love Army; it’s always messing with my mind. So what did I say that was objectionable? Damned if I know. But it may come to me later. Now I am so pissed, I need to quit, and go nurse my hurt feelings. These recurring episodes of epiphenominalism, if that is what it is, add impetus to a fast to release body toxins that mess up my mind].
Believe it or not, this problem relates to the obor phenomenon, which on a surface view at least, is consummate materialism, so unlike anything like a Dormition or Assumption of Mary. Confucius is no Dionysus, and Helga Zepp is not likely to have a Dormition, as fine a lady as she may be.
My body is telling me to calm down and have a lettuce salad, before the great fast begins tomorrow, if it does, or I myself may have a premature dormition. Oh well, better than Botany Bay or a H-block torture chamber of the bloody English. Bro is onto something with his reference to English overlords–but then again: if my grandfather, Dennis, had not been forced out of Donegal at age 10 by the same blood thirsty Brits, I wouldn’t be where I am today, in sunny California, by way of the Iron Range in Minnesota and Superior by the Lake across from Duluth, now would I?
See you later, alligator, after I cry awhile crocodile.
Love, Dennis the unareopagite Dionysus, god of vines and vineyards, and guard dog junkyards, Hotel Cal, Ojai, high noon here and 7 pm at UTC, in that Empire of Evil, which some say still rules, although being legally owned by Rome–fact checked by Miles Mathis himself…
Miles Mathis has done some wonderful and original phys/chem work, which is a breath of fresh air to scientists willing to entertain new ideas, few are, but his historical anecdotes are less professional.
For instance, his renditions on Ezra Pound and Eustace Mullins smell more like hit jobs to me.
His recent flights into the ancestors going back to the crusades indicates an uncommonly good source of Jewish information, where genealogies are hard to come by, and even scrubbed in many cases.
Harvey is putting on a great show, all orchestrated by aliens back at Zion Central.
I got my eye on the Bay City Nuke facility. Last thing we need is another Fukushima.
Very good article on the Voltaire site which was posted on the Venezuela thread but is worth reposting here, I think. It follows a previous article of a few days ago by Meyssan, linked in the header.

Ok, I’m back. Had my lunch of red leaf lettuce and avocado. That’s all. Delicious, picked fresh from the garden. I got in a nap in the 100 + heat, with the aid of a fan. I just finished up a watermelon, until my body said no to the last piece. One more meal of oranges before the fast. I’ve been giving away the avos I nurtured, and will so with the lettuce. It’s a nice feeling, which limits my narcissism, if not solipsism.
I feel like I’m having my last meal on life row. I told a friend about my tentative decision to water fast, and he must have thought I said water board. I could sense the fear and rush to defend the system against such audacity. It briefly transferred to me, and raised doubts. But I just watched videos of Lauren Lockman and what he said covered the dangers but also the benefits. Worth a try, says I to I.
I also finished the Miles Mathis article on the Crusades. Not as controversial as Pi=4, but getting there. The question in my mind is why isn’t he whacked, if the Jews are so powerful? Do they want to be uncovered but why are they still running for cover? Or are they chicken hawks, under the watchful eyes of real hawks?
My theory is that there is a contravening force that protects MM and DT, whom I call the neo-Romans, descendants of the old Romans. These folks stay in the shadow of the shadows, and are setting up the art of the deal whereby the Jews will again be scapegoats and sacrificial victims. Their trump card is 9/11 and the “outside job” of the Jews. If the truth of this is revealed with the evidence, all hell will fall upon the Zionists, and their dreams of glory will turn gory.
I really should leave obor alone until after my fast, when some of the fog has lifted from my brain, but I’ll share a few thoughts anyway. Bro acknowledges that obor is a German project, as well as a China one. You know, that Germany from which Ashkenazi takes its name. And did you know that Angela Merkel is a Jew?
I searched for Helga Zepp Larouche a Jew? There is a tsunami of Schiller Institute information but such a simple question appears to be scrubbed, and cannot pass the gatekeepers. Then there is the Jeremiah Duggan question, ignored by the authorities.
So this lady goes to China and convinces it to pursue the obor dream. How likely is that? Not very, unless she is acting on behalf of someone with leverage inside China, say someone from Ashkenazi Germany. Jews were financiers and bankers all along the old silk road, so why not the new one?
Jews have infiltrated every government on the planet, except it seems China; there the Great China Wall still stands, we are to believe. Not likely, when China itself wants to sit at the SDR table. But China has changed you say. It is now being portrayed as the savior of not only Russia, but of the whole world.
Recall the biblical Tower of Babel. The plan was to lift humanity up to the level of God. God didn’t like the idea. Now tilt that vertical pyramid to a horizontal network of nodes encircling the world. This time, though, God is left out, and humanity itself will lift itself into a new paradise, courtesy of “made in China” technology and money.
How is humanity going to lift itself when it’s bogged down with every conceivable evil? It can’t but apparently China can. Isn’t that called “power-over”? It would take a miracle but China is into confucius reason, not magic. The Love Army says to the world: detox yourself by fasting, like Jesus in the desert for forty days and nights. Glazed eyes stare back uncomprehendingly.
I’ve said too much. Time to take my ritual bath of cleaning toxins of body and soul. My question lingers, unanswered: who is the bull in the china shop?
Love, Dennis
This is a very informative piece on fasting. The writer who wrote it did some good research on previous water fasting accounts, and then experimented himself with it (I think he kept it up for 3+ weeks). It is really a great read and a good starting point for anyone considering going on a fast.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article41491.htm
Nafeez Ahmed is a very good and scrupulous independent journalist. He wrote a book investigating the London bombings of 7/7 and ripped the official story to shreds.
I must issue immediately an apology, retraction and confession of how stupid I can be. I am not going on a water fast. I was listening to the water faster in Costa Rica, when on the sidebar appeared contrary views from people who experienced terrible and even life threatening results.
These people were remarkably different than the man in question. His arguments and experiences in treating people seemed reasonable but upon hearing the other side, I connected to my own experiences with cult leaders. From the outset, I had this feeling that he was the leader of a cult but I ignored that feeling because of the benefits he touted.
I should have known better because I’ve worked in detox but I fell under the spell of an authoritarian personality, making claims that were dubious, if not deceptive. From the beginning, I thought he was a little too pure and stiff in manner but I blocked the possibility that such a smooth talker with such valuable information could be a psychopath, because that reflects on my own gullibility.
The stories of several people triggered my own negative experiences with slick operators. For one thing, he charges outrageous fees. And there are groupies who swear by these types which confuses the matter. It is further confused when these operators are part of large, mainstream institutions.
I’ve extricated myself from several of these cults of power, so why did I temporarily fall for this one? I even cited Jesus’s forty day fast in the desert in defense of fasting. I violated my own principles. I think it’s because there is an equal distribution of truth and falsity in a really good con, and I’ve been brought up in this culture, which is based on one big lie.
Much of what the man said is true, good and beautiful, but it’s the dark side that maims and kills, and he is probably unconscious of those negative effects. The solution is to have a community that can mitigate the evil effects of pathology; in this case, the ones who suffered and shared their stories on youtube.
The responsibility is mine to discern the difference. I shirked this requirement in favor of the promise of a quick fix. Fortunately, the truth tellers alerted me to what I already knew, and I was able to pull back from the brink. This dichotomy applies to the micro personal and the macro political.
I am grateful for what I learned. Much of what the man said makes sense in a limited context but so does my gut feeling that he is running some kind of scam from some flaw in his character. I have my own character flaws which allowed him to manipulate me. In fact, I may be much like him, according to the dictum: it takes one to know one.
I’ll continue the diet I was on before this brief interlude. I’ll continue to share the way I think and feel. When I think I am right, I’ll say so. When I think I am wrong, I’ll say so. Maybe Jesus’s fast was metaphorical for fasting from sin. Maybe the Love Army needed to teach me a lesson.
Time to lay me down to sleep, and pray the Lord my soul to keep. “The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep and miles to go in my sleep.” I’ve changed the last part. Change is always possible, even for a mark like me.
Love, Dennis
No, Christ fasted 40 days- obviously a different body and on a planet with a different electromagnetic field configured in ways we can only imagine. But there is a whole technology to fasting ( one does not need a Guru, by the way but having the ear of an experienced faster helps) and these are different times. They might have had cholera back then but they did not have Glycophates. If your potassium gets too low which happens during an extended fast your heart can stop which is what happened to Caesar Chavez, by the way.
I did a 40 day fast but it was in stages and was various juices and water at the end. It was the most cleansing thing I ever did and mistakes were made but fortunately my body was young. I would do it again only if confronted with something like cancer thus needing a major body reset .
Water fasts need to be done right. If done right, they are a wonderful mechanism for health and wellbeing. Listening to some guru from somewhere is perhaps not the way to go about it. The preparation for a water fast is about as long as the number of days of the fast. And then, coming off a water fast takes about as long as the number of days of the fast. One day of watermelon and then a 10 day fast is just wrong and I’ll go as far as to say, idiotic.
Find someone that knows how and that can support the fast before even thinking about it.

And yes. fasting is good. do it often….and do not become thick, or die too soon…and mostly root vegetables and water with nuts as garnish – with repeats of near starvation for 5 days every lunar cycle – just eat one handful of veggies and a palm of peanuts….for five days, then eat ok, do not drink unless you need fat.

If, as they say, the good fellas down at the NATO shop are “fully operational”, does this mean:
A) They have begun Barbarossa 2.0 by rolling east in a vast attack?
B) They have not done “A”, but wish they could and can’t because Ivan might stop them and make them look incompetent?
In Russian Army “fully operational” means something close to Berlin, or Borodino, or Kursk. It means an agony of fighting.
In NATO Army is means “camping out”….
So I will mark my quiz “B”….and feel sorry for NATO boys… It must be humiliating.

Composed in 1919 . . .
William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
THE SECOND COMING
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
a waste of desert sand
towards Bethlehem to be born?
no, to Deir Ezzor
India backs off – victory for SCO /BRICS?

Well, Tony is right.
It is time for Americans to look on their (public, infrastructure) “WORKS”……and despair of their sheer clueless stupidity in letting a bunch of swindlers from Wall St….AND LONDON…….loot and destroy their Society……..which ain’t so “great” anymore, Lyndon……Baines Johnson!
An English poet attacked the “mad kings” of his own age by breaking down the Ego of an ancient one:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away”.
What are monuments to Ego, if the people who might honor and maintain those monuments perish……..from too little water (Ozymandias???) or too much water, LBJ???
Just as banking towers and the Phallic, Luciferian “Freedom Tower” at “1 World” (Trade Center, NY, NY…..that is…) have nothing to do with the safety and security of The People….and EVERYTHING to do with instilling Ozymandian Awe and Fear in them.
Empire built on a foundation of……………..CRAP!
I don’t want to overload Dennis or anyone else with references from one particular site, however the poem is one of my stock in trade recitables…with cracking, whacking, attacking of the Oligarchic Ego near the end, with hard emphasis on the consonance deCAY of that COlossal wreCK smaCKing the tender ears of the listener hard enough to drive the idea through stone heads, before they get so big that they fall from great height, with a thud, into the sand:

“As Charles Dickens wrote in A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”
Today it is not two cities, but two visions of the future of mankind, and of the fundamental nature of man.”
Trump could benefit a great deal more from Shelley and monuments to his people,
his base that wants what he has talked about but gotten very little traction on (Better relations with Russia, real jobs, REAL Infrastructure…that’s OBOR……Brought All the Way Back Home, Dennis) than listening to Bannon or other suckers for geoplitics…..war! when it comes to keeping The People From Drowning…..or drying up and blowing away.
The Ministry of Truth – erm, The Guardian has applied for registration as a charity in the US :
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/08/29/guardian-registers-charity-us-tax-exemption-financial-losses/
Just when you thought media couldn’t get any more Orwellian…
Well, when a publication like the Guardian so faithfully produces propaganda that no one wants to read, surely a government paycheque is in order!
The Guardian was once a charitable trust (foundation) in the UK, having been set up as the Manchester Guardian after the Peterloo Massacre (a sort of early Orgreave) but with many deaths.
Its been wavering and pandering for years now but recently severed the newspaper business from the trust to escape legal restrictions on charitable trusts in the UK.
Charitable status in the US is another licence-to-print-money business, of course.
There’s a woman protégé of another ruthless media tycoon in charge for the past few years as editor now, so the smart money is on the expectation for it to go full-bore neocon shortly.
I will miss Rowson’s weirdly dark cartoons but not much else.
OK I found the anti-mad king poem. It fits well with Harvey, in terms of the rain and mud:
ENGLAND IN 1819 PB Shelley 1792-1822
An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying king,—
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn,—mud from a muddy spring,—
Rulers who neither see, nor feel, nor know,
But leech-like to their fainting country cling,
Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow,—
A people starved and stabbed in the untilled field,—
An army, which liberticide and prey
Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield
Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;
Religion Christless, Godless—a book sealed;
A Senate,—Time’s worst statute unrepealed,—
Are graves, from which a glorious Phantom may
Burst, to illumine our tempestous day.
As long as psychpathic kings are being dressed down, why not make this undressing more relevant to a Russia-related site, with this one, by the same poet, and blow away the Fake Illusory Clothes of the Emperor….and Empire…the Height of Madness:
Feelings Of A Republican On The Fall Of Bonaparte – Poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I hated thee, fallen tyrant! I did groan
To think that a most unambitious slave,
Like thou, shouldst dance and revel on the grave
Of Liberty. Thou mightst have built thy throne
Where it had stood even now: thou didst prefer
A frail and bloody pomp which Time has swept
In fragments towards Oblivion. Massacre,
For this I prayed, would on thy sleep have crept,
Treason and Slavery, Rapine, Fear, and Lust,
And stifled thee, their minister. I know
Too late, since thou and France are in the dust,
That Virtue owns a more eternal foe
Than Force or Fraud: old Custom, legal Crime,
And bloody Faith the foulest birth of Time.
I guess he was “Done With Bonaparte”.
So was Ludwig von Beethoven, whose Fifth Piano Concerto composition was begun by hope and inspiration that Napoleon might bring some advancement to humanity….but who Beethoven bitterly denounced, when Ludwig saw the ugly truth to that psychotic “Roman Empire” precursor of Adolph Hitler.
Now Schiller, besides being The Poet of Freedom was a keen student and professor of history and was involved in the conspiracy to use Bonaparte’s Insane Ego to destroy him…..the ego which drew him into deeper waters (Russia) where that Empire ego could be enveloped in its icy vastness and drowned.

Thanks for the great music, Bro. It makes easier to live this world with music, what would be this world if we lose it (the music) ? Napoleon ? he wasn’t a born politician of course. He was a career military man from the beginning. As a child, living still in Corsica, he used to exchange his meal packed by his mother with the cazon bread of a soldier in his way to the school. He loved the war and after many victories became narcissist. The road towards East and the ill fated way back with Borodino as crux, vanquished his power. The same with Hitler and at the same date : june 22.
I don’t want to mock Anonymous or Dennis or any other person with the stark fasting but imagine this : down in Somalia, there are thousands of children, women, elderly people who are starving. What would be their opinion when they see a billboard : “STARVING YOUR WAY TO VIGOR
The benefits of an empty stomach” ?
Although, I understand your stance on this, yet, this the world we live in : some want to fast for their own will, for their own benefits on body and soul, others are forced to do so because of the circumstances and because of the “fairness” of this world…
Not getting much work done today……..but this sort of break is necessary!
One link break leads to another, in a long chain of freedom, and I gravitate east from Denmark and Ludwig Van B to Moscow and Pyotr T.
I love the beautiful opening of this one, by Pyotr Tchaikovsky, and will now bathe in the rest of its Russian refreshing, snow, to know it better………… before going out into 100 degrees to do my errands:

Some neo-nazis in Germany are selling football clothing for their supporters to wear in Russia during the 2018 World Cup. With emblems on the T-shirts hinting about WWII and a new German Invasion. That is really about as dumb a move as possible. I doubt anyone stupid enough to wear one of those in Russia would make it back home in one piece. And certainly not without an “epic” a..whipping first,even if they did make it home “at all”.

Tells you what they are looking for in reality, unfortunately.
Brit facist groups have unsuccessfully been trying to re-brand themselves as leftists also for number of years, having got little traction being honest about their real intentions.
From an old and rare Sovjet movie. How difficult it is to say good bye and women will understand it.

This is an excerpt from an article written in 2002 re 9/11.
Rather prescient:
http://www.globalresearch.ca/911-the-mysterious-death-of-john-oneill-fbi-counterterror-chief-in-charge-of-the-osama-bin-laden-investigation/5400606
Such a conspiracy, if in fact perpetrated from within, would by its nature necessitate a huge structural, cultural, and demographic change. The very brazenness of the act, the naked aggression, would necessitate a tenacious determination to achieve the ends for which these actions were perpetrated. There is no going back now. An infrastructure is being laid out – one that will, finally, provide a dissident-proof totalitarian oligarchy composed of like-minded elites served by an under-class kept under constant surveillance. The edifice of this regime is being constructed, brick by brick, with the mortar of the Office of Homeland Security (to centralize and coordinate an effective police state), the Freedom Corps (to indoctrinate the most idealist – and therefore activist – elements of the populace toward service to the state), and the Patriot Act (to provide the legal basis for subverting long-held rights under the screen of national security). If all of this sounds strangely familiar, if it is redolent of Huxley and Orwell, that is perhaps because Huxley and Orwell were both intimately involved with the elites of their time – in fact, were fully subsumed among them – in ways that made their future projections abundantly prescient, and, in their minds, inevitable. With further refinements in mind control technologies – yes, they do exist – as well as the monopolization of the food supply by way of sterile seed “terminator technology” – the approval for which was granted in the months following 9/11 – the masses may be perpetually culled and exploited by those who hold the keys to this fully managed society.
If this notion of reality strikes you as somewhat dissonant, at odds with your own personal experience, it may be perhaps that we have not quite arrived there yet, and that you have personally not felt the corrosive lash of political corruption and governmental malfeasance. In all likelihood, you have not read the mountain of evidence detailing political and elite deviant behaviour in this country. You may even be dismissive of “conspiracy theories”, yet wholly unaware of the well-documented attempts by the CIA and FBI to subvert, surveil, and propagandize the populace through programs such as Project Mockingbird (media infiltration) and MK-Ultra (mind control through chemical, hypnotic, or electro-magnetic means). These programs are effected primarily through “think tanks” that are set up across the United States for the purpose of disseminating information and propaganda under the rubric of “expertise”. Moreover, various foundations, such as the Rockefeller or Ford Foundations, are often used as funnels to finance and feed the arteries of these propaganda networks. In the 1970’s, a good deal of this structural corruption was officially exposed – in a “limited hang-out” – by way of the Church Commission, as well as the House Select Committee on Assassinations. Thereafter, much of the most damaging revelations were played down or ignored by the mainstream media, and the waters were then muddied by a stream of outlandish conspiracy theories – aliens, Elvis, etc. – that merely served to discredit the information that was most credible. “Muddying the waters”, incidentally, is a tried and true staple of the intelligence craft.
It is really just a matter of familiarizing yourself with all the documented anomalies that do not accord with the received, mainstream reality put forth to you by the mainstream media. As a practical guide to begin, you might want to confine your search to strictly “mainstream” sources, as I have sought to do in attempting to construct my case on 9/11. My evidence is by no means exhaustive. In fact, it is merely the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Yet proceeding in this direction, under my hypothesis, has been most fruitful in analyzing the various anomalies that pop up now and then.
