Saker Webmaster
Dear friends, the following poem is partly inspired by one minion (two cafe’s earlier) and my actual thoughts which are not always optimistic, even though the sun is always there behind the veils. The “truth” about which I’m talking about in this poem, is not the actual political “truth”, but the absolute Truth (and that is hard to understand and find) :
Waiting
I’ve always been told to wait
For the help, which comes too late
It’s up to you or me, to see the end of story,
To see the crowd, cheering on the mount of glory ?
I’ll remember though, the days of fight and search
When playing the word, I accused the Man and Church
Let it be as it is, can I change it, can I not ?
The proof is in my pudding and that tells me a lot
I tried, I tried and tried again, hoping for the best
And what I got until now ? Nothing but the fate,
pouring as a pest.
Oh boy, November is here, with golden leaves
and smell of smoke up in the air,
Winter is at the corner, slowly coming,
covering with snow, my memories, my hair.
However, I’m still waiting, maybe I’m naive
Wondering myself why I still do believe
If there’s any limit, out of a famous claim,
That famous chess, who’s always there to blame.
Who’s playing with me, with you, with us,
Beyond the earthly kings, belonging to another class ?
Who are the real players who’ve made our fate,
Promising their help, which comes too late ?
You tell me about religions and the Law of God,
Religions made by man, with God’s Law at odds,
The Universe we know, exceptional we may be
Is nothing just a drip of water in an endless sea
If everything is a lie, except our very soul,
There must be a truth, the most powerful of all
And what is that ? Even Jesus remained silent
I don’t know either, waiting on my little isle.
What remains is hope, each one with his own
Like my little dog, who’s happy with his bone
Questions and questions, silent is our Father
Is He wise with us or He’s joking…rather :
” Hey, you have your own gods with glory and fame,
but when you’ll die, that’ll be another game,
You’ll find the answers for all what you wish
After the Death gives you her deadly kiss”
The Death is waiting for poor and rich,
for all…that lovely beast, that lovely Doll…
She loves to harvest, anytime she’s called
Without fear, be it a newborn or an old.
Think about this, as long as you have time,
Cause time is running fast, blowing bones and mind.
What will be thereafter, shall we live or not ?
Thousand years of learnings, and that very question,
is still there and hot.
I’m vaiting for that train to come
Looking around, many have already gone
For them, waiting is in their past,
Their train has come, being their last,
Letting behind the hope for us who have remained
Who’re waiting for help, which always comes too late.
I’m like many other bad boys who’re fighting daily
with their stubborn demons in this world of frenzy
Still hanging on that hope, still trying to cope
When will come that day, which will end the play
Fighting our daily prattle, till the last one,
till our last battle.
ioan,
What a touching poem from you.
I’m not a poet, but I will quote a poem penned by my father – an optimist and activist till his last minute.

I am no longer afraid of shedding
leaves or twigs or blossoms.
I know that new ones must fill in blanks –
The blanks made by the big ones.
I noticed the fall of the giant ‘Banyan tree’
[[ NOTE- refers to break-up of USSR & power grab by Zionist Capitalist oligarchy ]]
That gave us once shade and shelter
For half a century or more.
I experienced the slipping away
[[ NOTE-refers to Chinese government moving towards Zionist Capitalist system; finally self-restrained]]
Of the promising bud
When it was about to bloom –
Spreading out charming grace and fragrance.
Likewise followed a couple more.
In place new saplings came out around
With promise and commitment.
I don’t know how long the graceful Nature
Would remain so kind to allow them to flourish !
Time comes and passes by
Denying to stay for a moment on request
On its way it goes on doing its own job
Caring the least for the interested ones.
But it really touches my age burnt heart
When the green twigs and blooming buds
Are twisted and promises are downtrodden.
The indifferent social order too
Frowns at, and the falsehood
Gets the mighty truth in its foul grip.
Once it appeared to me –
That the year ‘Ninety’
Turned to be as cruel as can be !
It would put out all the lamps
And vitiate the air by snatching away the life spirit.
Yet I must wait for the almighty glorious sun
After the stormy night.
I know that today – nay everyday
Is fine and brilliant.
Only the eyes have lost their power to visit
Through real perspective.
Let me regain that strength to perceive.
Let me run the remaining race
On my shattered legs.
Let me win the race !
“
Straight-Bat, you had the great luck to have a wonderful father – God bless him where he is and bless his memories.
Here’s a better way to face adversity:

I consider myself to be really fortunate to get such a wonderful personality as my father – Almighty blessed me that way !
Thrashing through the lies
In a Kremlin troll brigade
Ziomedia tries
Any dull tirade
Soros screams are heard
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to troll and word
A trolling song tonight
Kremlin trolls, Kremlin trolls
Trolling all the way
Oh, how fun it is to troll
In a rotting West, hooray!
Love that jingle Kremlin trolls!
Delightful trolling on your part Nussiminen, thanks ! Waiter ! give us some spirit to wake up our Spirits ! Wonderful folks around here.
That was really beautiful, made my day! Thank you.
FWIW… LTC is jumping.
World changing right before our eyes… In for a dime, in for a dollar? Goodbye, dollar. I finally figured it out. Crypto is not about BTC per se. It’s about the dollar. This may seem obvious, but it feels like the sun just came out.
How many trolls gonna troll for AZ empire when fiat is worthless? The world might become a friendlier place? One can dream a little dream here at saker.is
The US is gonna have to figure out another game proposition. Ignorant bully empires are no longer competitive. For years, the Chinese were quietly buying away over at fiatleak.org, and no one noticed. Gee, wonder why?
Sorry to hijack your beautiful song!
Will someone kindly explain what the “Love Army” is … ?
The two words do not mesh well in my imagination … please help.
I can’t explain it. It has something to do with a “Love Bower”, whatever that means. A large percentage of what Dennis writes is just word salad to me. removed Just say what you mean. Or write a poem, I can roll with poems.
No attacking other commenters. Mod
In this case a man’s poor attempt at showing others he is full of love while being china-phobic in same post.
re: love bower ad nauseum: Oh nooooooooo…!!! not again and again and again….
but for the newcomers, OK. Sorry if I am too sour on the love bower: perhaps I have been hanging out too long in this Cafe–jaded? or Maybe my contemplating this song will help. My sentence to penance below:

“Will someone kindly explain what the “Love Army” is … ?”

… Comrade Vot Tak, … I’ll settle for that brand of vodka
Unfamiliarity may breed contempt, similarly to familiarity breeding contempt.
The concept, or doctrine of an army in relation to love, the power to destroy evil through love, or to fight for truth and so on and so forth, appears often in biblical texts
“And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.” Rev. 9. 16
Blessed be the Lord my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight (Psalm 144)
Doesn’t the Saker lead an army of truth-sayers ? Is there something about love that resonates with that ?
Vot Tak…
Well, someone has a earthy and very male sense of humor! Salud ! 60 degrees below zero in Siberia today.
Even the ethanol freezes.
We have the “Salvation Army” here too in Uk—-do very very good works but maybe it is time to rebrand themselves as some kind of human rights NGO….?

“Former Intelligence Inspector General threatened by Hillary Clinton to not talk about private email server”

Well, I studied the Minoan Civilisation at University, but do not recall learning the following, so it would seem Dennis Leary was doing a lot of reading at the monastery.
He is correct in saying the double headed axe was real and also extremely symbolic.
The following is an extract …
” … In the end, we may view the double axe as a metaphor for many things. It begins its symbolic life as the astral X at the crossroads of time, the changing of the year in ancient calendars. This great X with Sirius at its heart was personified as the head of a cow and identified with the early agrarians’ most fertile symbol, the cow goddess who gives birth to life. But the early farmers also see something else in the joined triangles – the well-balanced double bitted axe ideal for felling trees and cutting wood. Did the inspiration for this tool come from the stars? Could this be why the tool is regarded as divinely inspired and the axe, albeit single bitted, is the Egyptian hieroglyph for netcher, or divine essence, loosely translated as god? These notions help explain why the double axe became such a prominent and powerful icon in Neo-Palatial Crete, where we find much goddess iconography, and then why it waned when Cretan-born Zeus rose to prominence after the Bronze Age.”

Politically correct seasonal greeting: Merry X-mas and a Happy New sequence in the time-space continuum.
Seasons Greetings for Time is Fleeting!
So let us join in Merry Meeting!
Celebrate the end of time divided
When new beginnings are decided.
Those of the World of good derided
Look back when undue cheers are given
innocence is thwarted, guilty are shriven
15 minutes of Defame grossly awarded
Highest honors given to those most sordid
Those in the World of blessings given
Look back and know good can’t be hidden
for Truth at the heart of outward matters
from them hides not in inane chatter
This stream of time leaves some behind
Still others work the Grand design
When their time comes for Final Flight
They thus affirm: we fought the good fight
I’m glad and honored to have you here teranam 13, as always !
This morning the tide came in “like a lamb” … though it achieved the same extremity as yesterday … the line of small shells in the sand.
The “whisper” carried on the tide this morning was no less profound than the “message” carried on yesterdays’ tide.
While I obviously have a serious aversion to “AI” … I finally ‘see’ its’ utility … thanks to the “whisper” carried on the tide this morning.
” AI is forcing the “Truth” to the surface of human consciousness … rather quickly these days.” A great service to humanity … a wonderful service indeed!
Truth is destructive.
JSS
Then he will say to those on his left,
‘Depart from me, you accursed,
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
For I was hungry and you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,
a stranger and you gave me no welcome,
naked and you gave me no clothing,
ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’
Then they will answer and say,
‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty
or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison,
and not minister to your needs?’
He will answer them, ‘Amen, I say to you,
what you did not do for one of these least ones,
you did not do for me.’

I just wish that the LoveArmy posts were not so long – I have to scroll past a lot of text in order to ignore it.

Bruce, your thoughts are very welcome and thanks for sharing that passage from the Scripture.
Ok this does it. These are Demon-Nihilists of the worse kind.

Shatov in Dostoevsky’s The Demons on the birth of a baby ( his wife’s from another man ) is overcome by the birth. and babbles in joy… p. 592 Pevear/Volokhonsky translation paperback.
“There were two and suddenly there’s a third human being, a new spirit, whole, finished, and as doesn’t come from human hands; a new thought and a new love, it’s even frightening…And there’s nothing higher in the world”
The midwife, a member of their clandestine study circle which by the way is planning Shatov’s murder, replies :
” A nice lot of drivel! It’s simply the further development of the organism, there’s nothing to it, no mystery!” But I tell you what: unnecessary people shouldn’t be born…” And she goes on to set the standard for when they should. ” First reforge everything..”

wow
“WATCH Tunisian MP slam Arab League, say Netanyahu is ISIS’ Secretary General
“Your participation in the scandal known as the most recent meeting of the Arab Foreign ministers in Cairo is the ultimate farce. You met to condemn a Yemeni missile that landed in the desert while you remain silent about the killing and displacement of the whole Yemeni population and you’re not ashamed of the carnage of the ‘heroes of Yemen’? Instead you are showing solidarity with the aggressor country.
You and your Arab League rushed into criminalizing the Hezbollah resistance, the only one carrying a gun in the face of the Zionist entity – at the same time this league does not care about anything when it comes to the terrorist organizations that immersed themselves in the blood of Arabs and Muslims – the likes of Daesh, Taliban, Jabhat Al-Nusra, Jund al-Sham, the FSA and many others.
As well as your failure in dealing with the crisis in Libya and your inability to re-establish relations with Syria. Because the Saudi regime, America and Israel do not allow you to take such a position. Your excellency, what is falsely called the Islamic coalition is the new Baghdadi coalition and its secretary general is Benjamin Netanyahu.
And its military commander is Eisencott, the commander of what they call the IDF. And the Tunisian people who have paid with martyrs in all of the Arabs battles, will not be a part of a reactionary Zionist-American coalition. ”

My digital applause and respect for this brave lady, Mubaraka Awainiya, to step up and have the courage to say truthful words about presented complete BS.
She is braver than many western european politicians, who present gibberish word-salad, spiced with abstract slogans, thinking ‘we have to take care about our dear trade relations’, maybe even be involved, and really don’t care any sh*t when it doesn’t fit the ‘Project’.
Are you reading this, Theresa May?
Cheers, Rob
Nothing beats the truth. It is about time for people to take (civilized) action, whatever it may be, and try to put end to this nightmare.
Looks like NATO is giving out medals to the Nazis of Azov….Why am I not surprised?

In a stunning and wide-ranging interview Lada Ray discusses
- Russia the great balancer
– the recent talks between Putin, Erdogan and Rouhani in Sochi, what Lada calls Yalta 2.0
– Sudan’s offer to Russia to open a military base in Sudan
– how Putin’s emerging new Middle Eastern order will change the whole geopolitical landscape
– the war on the ‘slavic genome’
- how the Czech republic and Slovenia could play a key role bridging Russia and the EU.
Worth a listen.

Not sure what today’s topic is, but just want to say that basically I am unable to access Consortium News, as of last night.
I get a “salsalabes” thing, then an error message.
Katherine
Hi Katherine, the topic is mixed, however I could reach that site.
Last evening I spoke at the Ojai City Council meeting about having our own water well for drinking, and not being dependent on private and semi-public water companies. Ojai has just given the boot to an international water corporation that was gouging us, after a long court battle. Small communities seldom, if ever win in these cases. Ojai is a winner, but not always. I have to give them a little hell once in awhile.
I went to bed at 10, woke at 3 and got up at 4. It’s 45 out, still and beautiful with the stars overhead. I did my religious pilgrimage.
Paul asked what the Love Army is, and that the two words do not mesh well in his imagination. Anonymous complains that the Love Army posts are too long. vot tak addressed Paul’s request, with a link about a lonely man in the frozen north, who fantasizes beautiful women, and ends up drinking vodka. teranam yawns and associates the love bower with nausea; following up with the Shaker Quaker hymn “Simple Gifts.”
Love is not lonely but it is simple. It doesn’t need alcohol or such skin-deep women but it does need dancing.
The peripatetic Paul Pavel takes us to a Road Train in Australia, a double ax in Crete and rare rail trains everywhere. I love to ride the Southwest Chief from LA to Chicago on my trips back to Wisconsin.
Yesterday I read Saker’s text and link to the Kadyrov interview by a beautiful woman. This morning I read JJ’s comment and the link to the Tunisian MP who slammed the Arab League and Netanyahoo as ISIS’s secretary. With that was a beautiful article, which I will mention later.
Somehow, I want to condense all this information in a way that makes sense, at least to me. It may turn out to be long; so I must forewarn Anon lest s/he become exhausted with the labor of scrolling past my text.
I introduced the meme of a Love Army some time ago here, and afterwards the idea of a Love Bower. I said then that the term “Love Army” is an oxymoron, and that the two words are an apparent contradiction. With Paul, I likewise feel that “the two words do not sit well in my imagination…”
That cognitive dissonance is intended, as a shock and awe rhetorical device. I could also call the concept a “Bower Army.” The double dynamism is with an army as strength and a bower as a place of love and communal sex. This is truly a shocking idea in our repressed and excessed culture of war. Later I’ll refer to a double ax, a good metaphor for a Love Bower/Army.
Such reactions are encouraged on purpose. Our mission here is to stop the war on Russia, which entails stopping war per se. We have to fight war with war, and fire with fire. Hence we need an army, but an army suited to winning an information war. Love is the only force capable of accomplishing this goal.
That raises the question of “what is love?” The Love Army gives essentially the same answer as the Love Government did years ago, now espoused in the Ten Commandments of Love. These are the specifications of true love, the “sine qua non” of stopping war.
This causes a severe war to break out in individuals here in the cafe and places far away. The shock and awe of a Love Army–Bower is intended to break up cultural crystallization, a cult of war, which is a painful process. But it absolutely has to be done if we want to stop war.
The personal is the political, and the other way around. The war of the sexes is the oldest war of all. It started with one sex warring upon another: men turned on women. And now women are turning against men. Karma in spades. The idea of a Love Army presents the solution for war.
The strength of real men is needed; hence an army. The power of real womem is needed; hence, a bower. The two forces are distinct, but not separate. They combine and cooperate in individuals and societies when the ten commandments of love are practiced; they fall into war when the commandments are ignored.
Let me use some down to earth examples to ground the theory. Yesterday I read the Saker article and video on Kadyrov and the beautiful interviewer: ostensibly images of a “real man” and “real woman.” Contrast that with what is presented in the West; say of Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson. Let them stand for Russian and Western values.
These extreme right and left worldviews are part of the cultural war that underpins geo-political war. To solve the dilemma, a middle position must be entertained. This is the strong stance of the Love Army. Shocking as it is, the Love Army stands for “communal sex,” embodied in the Love Bower. This is the Shock and Awe truth that knocks our socks off.
When you get up off the floor, or recover somewhere out the door, know that you have been hit over the head by a Love Army night-stick. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Let me say this loud and clear. I believe there is a God, a Father and a Benign Patriarchy. Kadyrov stands for this, and Putin as well. So does the True Orthodox Church. But, but, but this extreme is too tough, too rigid, too manly, too inflexible, too insensitive, too unbalanced and top-heavy to win the Final War and Ultimate Fighting Championship, represented by sports’ heroes.
On the other hand, the West’s Matriarchal reaction, and its Patriarchy retraction, represented by the war on white males, is too tough, too rigid, too femalely, too inflexible, too insensitive, too unbalanced and top-heavy to win the Final War… and etc. Two sides of the same coin are the same coin.
“In medio stat virtus.” In the middle stands virtue, strength, virility, a “vir=man,” a Love Army, a vineyard “…terrible as an army in battle array.” (Song of Songs). The center holds; the Love Army holds the Love Bower safe and protected from the Empire hordes and borgs.
If you are not able to follow the logic, your brain is probably too fogged by violating some of the ten commandments of the Love Army. That’s OK. This is not about being right or wrong, but about where you are along the way to where you’re going. Could be on Amtrak, obor, a road train or love train. Ultimately, all roads lead to Rome, and all roads and rails now lead to Home.
If you think I’m a fool, a poison, a boy, lepretard, a China hater, a pervert, weirdo or whatever, that’s fine with me. Think whatever you want.
Let me break stride a bit, and talk about the Double Ax that Paul brought up. The best explanation I’ve found about it is from the book “The Body of the Goddess” by Rachel Pollack. Rather than my repeating her, you can look it up yourself. I doubt you will, because most of you who demand evidence of me never provide evidence for your own prejudices.
Evidence is evident to those who have eyes, ears and the other senses. In our cult of a war culture, we have been brain-washed and sense-deprived. The only way I’ve found out of this morass of molasses is to practice the ten commandments of love, or at least to think about them.
JJ linked to a Fort Russ article on a Tunisian MP slamming the Arab League and Netanyahoo as a secretary of isis. With that article is another article by Fort Russ’s Joaquin Flores on “Bringing Beauty Back into the World.” It is a good read, especially about commodification, which answers in part why I am skeptical about China’s obor new world order; and the probability that the Zionists are behind it. This is part of the overwhelming circumstantial evidence for what I’m saying.
But most of you are not interested in evidence. You demand it of me but never give a shred of it yourselves. You use “evidence” as a canard to cover up truth, for God knows what reason; probably fear of change.
I said this would be long, and it is. For those “brave few” still here, let me conclude with the quintessence of love, compressed into the concept of “communal sex.” This sends some here into paroxysms of horror and terrified tantrums of accusations sans evidence.
“Communal Sex” is the sword of the Love Army that cuts through the Godian Knot of False Love. I believe in a God and Father of Love, one who honors Womam and protects her children. I subscribe to Saint John’s “God is Love” theology. Communal Sex is the best expression of that Godology. It might be “horror of horrors” for you because you’re not up to it yet. Don’t sweat it.
Communal sex is safe sex within the Love Bower, protected by the Love Army, authorized by the Love Government. It involves a wide variety of sexual expression, well-governed and responsible. I’ve described some of it here, and at my website thelovegovernment.com, and will put up more information as time goes on.
Monogamy is a patriarchal creation. That does not make it bad or wrong. It has many beautiful components or it never would have come into general use. Putin, Kadyrov and Saker support it. Many defend it, and many question it and some attack it. Monogamy is part of Western values and Civilization.
Monogamy cannot simply be jettisoned with collapsing civilization itself. Some type of soft-landing is possible. Circling the wagons is also possible. The least we can do is discuss the matter with feeling and logic. The vineyard cafe is a good place to start. We can safely get our feelings out on the table, within the moderator rules.
If we can do this, and do this well, we can be the vanguard to stopping the war on Russia, fulfill our mission and forge a world of love. I love this place, and would hate to see it go to waste. The Empire hates this place and wants to lay it to waste. I can feel the tension in the air and see it written on the cafe walls.
Last night at Ojai Council, I spoke of healing water. In this cafe, I prefer pure water to drink. Others desire coffee, tea, juice, wine or beer. “De gustibus, non disputanda.” Concerning taste there is no dispute. “Bene distinguere, bene discere.” To distinguish well is to learn well. These maxims return to me from my monastic past. Taste is not waste. WE can discuss our tastes while respecting those of others.
My rhetoric is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. I am sometimes strong and sometimes weak. That’s why I need a community of peers who are also interested in stopping war. I could with truth, call this the “Stop War Cafe.” In the main, at the main article page, they analyze. Here at the cafe, we catalyze. WE make it happen. The Catalysis Cafe makes my day.
What else can I say? I’ve said too much and not enough. At some point, words fail and we prevail. It’s time to eat and drink in my personal cafe, which links to yours and then to ours. I like the word “love,” but that too will fail, and fall like a house of cards. Do any of us really know what will eventually prevail?
I don’t, unless I really do and am afraid to accept it. Why? Loss of control? Am I a Russian troll? You tell me. Until then, I’ll use the one word I trust: love. Jesus and John trusted it too, so I’m in good company. But even so, it comes down to who I trust. I trust the Lover, the personification of Love; and I trust in the Lovers, who are all of us as lovers.
And that brings me round to the Idea of “Communal Sex” within a Love Bower, protected by a Love Army, etc., etc…, or “ad nauseam,” in the words of Dear teranam. She proves that at some point of reiteration, words fail. Hopefully, by then the words have done their work, and experience replaces them. Such is my experience anyway, at least as of now, but who is to say about tomorrow?

I like the comments with a positive affirmation, they have a feel good impact, negative’s don’t do much for me, especially “humour” at another’s expense. What’s the point, we’re all trying to get by as best we can,
Here in the land of southern Blighty, (UK) where we live and where the trees are now covered in sparkly frost, tap water often tastes foul, and I collect it in containers from a well, or buy it. It’ s arduous, but that’s life…
In the comment I just posted, the d is for me, Dennis Leary. I missed signing off properly.
Too much poetry, not enough humour/humor:
From HANGTHEOWL
‘wife owl forced me to take her to StarBucks to get her a venty venty berry berry fruity fruity something,,we went through the drive through and the guy said the bill was 5 bucks,,,when we get to the window the guy says the person in front of us paid for ours because the people in front of them paid for theirs,,,,so I ask him how much the guy behind us bills is,,he says $15.00,,,so I give him 5 bucks,,,haa,,,’
It was a random act of tomfoolery …
Here you have it :
Old man’s case
While an old man, was slowly stepping on the bus
A young man told him ” hey dad, move your ass”
The old man, walking up the stairs in hurry,
In his need, in his stress, sounded his bellies
Stupefaction in his back, all the way around,
Needless to say what they spoke about…
Then he coughed trying to cover what went out
Badly sync, the fart went off much too loud.
From the front line of the class war in Cuckoo Americana:
In our mobile home park, a unit decorating contest has been announced with the grand prize of $25 with outside judges making final determinations. Evidently our community wants expressions of Joy. So today I trotted out with my blue and white dove of Peace flag and hung it outside. Inside, in another reality, Alex Jones was actually discussing the coming attack on N. Korea posting a video of Ron Paul who was saying basically “Don’t do it” and asking “Are we really at risk? ”
Meanwhile the local news: a woman walked past a homeless man who was muttering in agony to himself so she asked him, ” Are you alright?” He then pulled out a gun and shot her.
And there is the phenomena of gangs of food thieves who go into grocery stores, fill up carts and then rush out to quickly load up waiting vans. They sell the food on the internet or in their neighborhoods for cash. The policy of the grocery stores is to only ask them politely to stop, return the food or pay for it. By the time the police arrive, the people are long gone. The other day I saw a woman do just that leaving the clerk who was frustrated having to call her supervisor to report it and to do nothing. Yet she works hard at that very store to be able to buy the food.
The grocery store’s outside water dispenser into which one could put coins to buy gallons of water was recently trashed by homeless folks who wanted to seize the coinbox inside. The replacement works by debit or credit card only.
I can see where this is leading. The semi haves will live within a “cashless” society of credit, debt and cards and the untermensch like pet dogs will be chipped or left to roam free in lawless ghettos like South side Chicago. The 1% or .01 of the 1% will live in entirely walled off feudal estates.

The last story is about the Linde Care oxygen delivery driver who arrived at door of my next door neighbor. When I told him that she was in New York on vacation, he insisted that he had just talked to her, told her he was outside and that she was, indeed, inside. So I let him hammer on the doors, front and back, for awhile before reemerging from my tinny shack. He looked puzzled saying, ” But I just called her and she said OK”.
Laughing I informed him she was very old, hard of hearing, new to cell phones and probably thought he was standing outside her nephew’s door in NY and would be mightily puzzled to discover that he was not. The incongruity of time and space with the internet was illustrated. At least we both already had made the acquaintance of the lady we were discussing. To make it less surreal, I told him the date when she would return–G-d willing– as she is very old, so old that she travels by railway sleeper compartment.

Good morning and welcome to the Hwasong-15 era. The missileers initial analysis boils down to:
1. It’s a monster of a missile
2. It has a monster range
3. It can carry a monster RV that can almost certainly fit a two-stage device and thensome (MIRVs? Decoys?)
It’s real folks.
I’m glad to have a cafe with a crazy corner
it’ good to be with Denis Bro Terra S’s and all the J’s
and all you others in the room
it’s something of a ‘Journal’ of us, this cafe,
and I’m the stargazer the currently only one
in the village’s vineyard, glad to have you, cause without you
my English way of my hearts beating would have been remained
a mere possibility of which I never would have come behind
consciously, so
It’s a giving and taking between us in this ‘coocko’s nest’
and my giving today is my diary of the week coming

hi
my mrs say Saturn has entered Capricorn, she does check out her charts….(every now and then she says horoscope says stay positive and a better job is just there waiting for you)….hasn’t happened yet
…………next 2-3 years very very cold winters……..that’s all I can contribute via astrology………..!
i’ll have to give her your link Mundo!
Saturn in Capricorn on Dec. 20.
your idea, Saturn in Capricorn = cold winter, had as well a place in my brain.
I tested the last period of that: 1989 – 1992 Winters for Munich,
In cold Winters 1982 and 1983 (Saturn in Libra) daily highest below 0°C from Jan. 7. – April 1. (83 days) were 22 and 15.
Nights below 0°C were 64 and 55
In the last Saturn in Capricorn-winter 1989 – 1982 the numbers were: highest daily below 0°C: 6, 1,11,10.
Night below 0° were: 36, 18, 44, 27
Just the first test telling Saturn in Capricorn: not = cold winter
and believe me, if the art was so easy, Astrology was a corrupted mass-medium
and I an millionaire or dead, – to communicate with astrology needs quiet moments, to realize when words in mind are imprinting the current trail
what moments I think we share in this place.
Astrology is a tricky thing, you have to be a child and an old wise scholar too
I would like, to share some questions with your love, no less with you or
you
!!!!
okdky—she reads the russian horoscopes”..maybe location has something to with what actually happens, ……..as well as transposing from Crimea to UK……….will pass your thoughts on and what sites she uses I will ask her to refer to you! She does occaisionally do “workings out “for her family-friends.

Ah yes, FOXCONN – lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty.
What-a-joke.
… regardless of concessions, of special trade zones this BS occurs in mainland China which is under so-called communist rule … well … how can any real Chinese communist look in the mirror when this BS is going on !
Humiliation was suffered and quickly forgotten … and all those Russians who crave western values are also full of BS. It is time the working people of this world have a government that is appropriate to their needs … their sovereign needs … without the mass murder and gulags … and is it even possible … I do wonder !
The average Russian and Chinese are too poor still, because they are getting ripped off while being smooth talked about a better future … always the better future isn’t it ! … never in the here and now !

A friend from this blog Cafe emailed me the following, yesterday:
“Regarding China, well, I’m also a little bit circumspect, waiting for evolution of events. Last week, the Chinese premier was here in Budapest at a conference with eastern-European countries and a lot of deals have been signed – no one word in the blog ! (interesting) not even by the newcomers “chinese” friends (that is also strange)”.
You know, I can be kind, (as well as rough) and he inspires that better side of me.
But before I spend a few predawn minutes supplying that which he points out was missing from news in his part of the world, let me say that I understand the limitations of the particular personality bound up in an aging organism (such as my own, ….and everyone else’s!) and the tendency for that personality to more passivity in watching events unfold than activity in participation in attempts to influence those events, even marginally, through the power of ideas.
Which way this world goes depends on the aggregate will, consciousness, love or lack thereof and each of us is perhaps only a millionth part of that aggregate whole. So what’s the point? Why pretend to be actors rather than merely a speck in the huge mostly unconscious asleep audience, right???
WRONG!
For I deliberately said “millionth” rather than “billionth” because of the quite evident fact that maybe on average, the understanding, will, growth in capacity of the more astute persons here is already at least a thousand times more powerful, more influential, more potentially good and decisive in affirming the manifestation of good and curtailing the manifestation of evil…………….than that of the average microcosmic inhabitant of this planet, who, unfortunately, is almost entirely lacking in ANY of that understanding, will, growth in capacity to think and act on the macrocosm, etc,etc.
Not that any ONE of those human beings does not have the divine creative potential to surpass our aggregate capacity to do good combined!
All but the biologically damaged do have that capacity…..unrealized, perhaps, but nevertheless THERE, in them, in human potential!
It’s just that, despite our limitations, friends in general, and particular friend in Eastern Europe who wrote the above remark in quotes…..) , we might pause and appreciate just how much we can truthfully say. “We’ve come a long way, baby!” and agapically reflect on how very, very much longer the road is ahead of the average, potentially GREAT but presently virtually infinitesimally limited average fellow human being on this planet, compared to where the better informed Sakerites (like him!!) are.
So, with that in mind, let me just point out that how China or Russia, or even America (Redemption is an available possibility for everyone, everywhere!) or many, many other smaller nations like his do in the Grand Scheme of Things…..depends partially…(but significantly!) on each one of us, and it is open to each one of us to get out of the audience a bit more every day, and on to the world stage, at least in concsiouness, in understanding, in communication of ideas.
And we can draw inspiration from others, from bigger people, in our smaller countries, and participate, at least in consciousness, in thoughts and their socialization with others, in their attempts to discern reality and act positively upon that reality, as the creative beings that we all are, at least in potential. Their courage, their failings, their learning, their heroism, their tragic blindness, their sins, their redemption….their humanity.
So dear friend, from your part of the world I attempt to fill some of the void in the awareness of others, in other parts of the world, regarding YOUR part of the world and quote Victor Orban:
“The world economy’s center of gravity is shifting from west to east,” Orban stated. “While there is still some denial of this in the western world, that denial does not seem to be reasonable. We see the world economy’s center of gravity shifting from the Atlantic region to the Pacific region.”
This awarenss in Orban is important because it is an example of the Leibnizian concept of “Analysis Situs” ….in other words, what is the changing “lay of the land” around you in terms of this planet and your part in it.
And that’s just the start.
That approach is found regularly right here, where I at least, was somewhat on top of what was occuring last week in Hungary, even before this email remark from Hungary, and make more available to all here, not just my cafe pal from there:
https://larouchepac.com/20171129/world-center-gravity-shifting-atlantic-pacific
“That concept, of the emerging Eurasian New Paradigm for all mankind, was first presented on the world strategic stage back in 1996—over two decades ago—by American statesman and economist Lyndon LaRouche, when there was virtually no visible “evidence” to that effect. And yet LaRouche was right. That idea was repeated, in almost identical terms, last month by the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, who just hosted the “16+1″ heads of government meeting among the CEE (Central and Eastern Europe) countries and China.
There is today plenty of visible evidence to show that Orban is correct. In fact, there is a sea-change underway in world economic and political affairs, most immediately as the result of the fact that China and Russia are escalating their coordinated efforts, and asserting reality on the ground across Eurasia. In much the same way as the entire situation across the Middle East (and beyond) has been transformed by the reality on the ground of the Russian-led military victory over ISIS in Syria, the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative is creating economic faits accomplis which are enveloping the entire Eurasian region.
The British Empire and their Wall Street sidekicks have been caught flatfooted, and they are growing increasingly hysterical about both developments, and the fact that they are being flanked. ……….”
Interesting what your chum wrote to you. Watching the Hungarian news I just heard that Chinese people are the best buyers of new houses and apartments in Budapest (more than 40% of total sales and is growing) In the Romanian news : China invested 6,8 billion $ in construction of 4 new nuclear facilities for production of energy. Although I don’t understand yet what is the reason for that because Romania is blessed with huge mountains and has many hydro-electric power centrals being totally independent of energy in the past time of socialism. Many questions but one thing is for sure : China has decided to push ahead with her plan in Central and Eastern Europe. Playing with thoughts, I would say that China will back these countries against the EU initiative who forces them to bow on EU’s immigration policies. Everything is happening so fast, suddenly everything is urgent for everyone on the grand chess table.
Second attempt at posting this article.
Russia to launch ‘independent internet’ for BRICS nations – report
https://www.rt.com/politics/411156-russia-to-launch-independent-internet/
“The initiative was discussed at the October meeting of the Security Council, which is Russia’s top consultative body on national security. President Vladimir Putin personally set a deadline of August 1, 2018 for the completion of the task, the RBC news agency reported.
While discussing the issue, members of the council noted that “the increased capabilities of western nations to conduct offensive operations in the informational space as well as the increased readiness to exercise these capabilities pose a serious threat to Russia’s security.”
They decided that the problem should be addressed by creating a separate backup system of Domain Name Servers (DNS), which would not be subject to control by international organizations. This system would be used by countries of the BRICS bloc – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
“Russia’s disconnection from the global internet is of course out of the question,” Peskov told the Interfax news agency. However, the official also emphasized that “recently, a fair share of unpredictability is present in the actions of our partners both in the US and the EU, and we [Russia] must be prepared for any turn of events.”
“We all know who the chief administrator of the global internet is. And due to its volatility, we have to think about how to ensure our national security,” said Peskov. It’s not about disconnecting Russia from the World Wide Web, he added, but about “protecting it from possible external influence.”
A BRICS internet! Yes,this is really wonderful news Hopefully they will have an alternative Youtube, etc.. as well.
DNS is a weak link in accessing the internet. And its been used by governments looking to block access to certain websites.
For an example, lets say you type “thesaker.is” into your favorite browser. By itself, that means nothing to the browser and the internet. Internet address are a series of numbers. For me (today) “thesaker.is” resolves to
23.111.129.34. That’s what a DNS server, or Domain Name Server does, it translates something like ‘thesaker.is’ to the real phone number you need to connect to the site.
For most people, they just take the numbers their ISP gives them and types them in. Thus they are relying on their ISP to send them to a place that does these sorts of translations. That’s ok, until governments and ISPs start to play games with this. The bad news is that they can use this power to block some websites or to misdirect traffic intended for one website to a different address.
Wikileaks has a webpage of DNS servers. https://www.wikileaks.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS
That might be useful to bookmark in case governments and ISPs get more serious about censoring the internet. Wikileaks has this page because IIRC their website has been blocked by governments at times in the past.
You can change your DNS away from the one provided by your ISP if so desire. I won’t include a tutorial on how, I’m sure you can find that info on the nets.
There is also a local file on each Windows computer called a “hosts” file. This matches a name to an IP address without going externally to a DNS. Today, you are most likely to find about this if a hacker messes with your computer, as this is how they sometimes redirect website requests to where they want to send them. But it also seems useful if internet censorship gets a whole lot worse if you want to control yourself (locally) that a website like “thesaker.is” goes to a particular web address and don’t want to rely on someone else’s DNS server.
One thing that Russia and China could do is to provide those on the other side of the BRIC Wall (that the west is likely to build at some point) thus taking away at least one tool that the west would have to censor and control the internet.
An alternative internet under BRICS control would be very welcome.
May I add to the abovementioned post concerning installing own chosen DNS service, that I installed the DNS connections to the German Privacy foundation and the Chaos computer club Berlin.
Privacy (‘Datenschütz’) is a very sensible item in Germany, given the shared memory of the practices of the Gestapo and Stasi.
Some ten years ago we were flooded with comforting excuses for authorities spying insanely on its citizens, that boiled down to ‘if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear’.
Do you know who is the originator of this expression? Joseph Goebbels.
Another reason to watch your DNS, that acts like a phonebook, is the use of it by botnets. See for instance the Mariposa botnet, using 1 million zombie computers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariposa_botnet .
To add a few more things to consider:
– Using a professional VPN (yes, it’ll cost you some 10 USD/month) not only gives various virtual IP addresses, but mine also encrypts all traffic. Even my ISP cannot find out where I’m surfing. I don’t care sh*t that this will ring bells for the wrong people. Yes, I have something to hide: my privacy.
– For those more PC-educated than folks that reason ‘when I click on that big ‘e’ I come on the internet’, there are browser add-ons (at least for Firefox) that do a reverse DNS check, and warn by divertions.

Wow. Famed investor Jim Rogers’ daughter Happy Roger sings a traditional Chinese love song in perfect mandarin – “A Place Far Far Away” about a lovely Tibetan maiden in the grassland of Qinghai Province, China .

I’d say that the best indicator of US military intentions is the locations of the CVN groups.
Of the three CVN task forces that grouped together and exercised off of North Korea, two have moved on. One (the Nimitz) has gone to Pearl, while another (Teddy Roosevelt) has continued on to the Arabian Sea.
Thus, the USN has returned to its more normal configuration of having one carrier based in Japan (Reagan) which is currently listed as sailing ‘south of Japan’, while also having a carrier in the Middle East region.
I’d suspect that any major US military operations against North Korea or Iran would be preceded by a concentration of the carrier groups in that area. If memory serves me correctly, they also had 3 CVN groups together when they attacked Saddam Hussein.
With regard to the current North Korean flap, we know it took about 11 days for the CVN currently in Pearl Harbor to arrive from North Korea. Presumably it would take about the same length of time to sail back. It is listed as having left Pearl on Nov 28, but the Navy isn’t saying where its headed. Thus we have about 10 days or so lead time before an attack on North Korea, and perhaps longer if its headed to San Diego or Bremerton from Pearl.
I’d consider both North Korea and Iran to be tougher adversaries than Saddam’s Iraq. So, I’d imagine that a concentration of force against either the Pentagon would likely want three CVN’s in the region to join the attack. I wouldn’t say that’s a firm requirement, but it seems likely that they gather together such a mobile force as the CVN groups.
So, maybe we’ll survive the first half of December. :)
Cognitive Dissonance – Psychology …
“Cognitive dissonance, the mental conflict that occurs when beliefs or assumptions are contradicted by new information. The unease or tension that the conflict arouses in people is relieved by one of several defensive maneuvers: they reject, explain away, or avoid the new information; persuade themselves that no conflict really exists; reconcile the differences; or resort to any other defensive means of preserving stability or order in their conceptions of the world and of themselves. The concept was developed in the 1950s by American psychologist Leon Festinger and became a major point of discussion and research.”

https://www.britannica.com/topic/cognitive-dissonance
Now, understanding the above and following through at your own risk, read the following information, and don’t attack me if you get upset … it’s up to you … right or wrong … but worth reading and considering … for open minded people … and perhaps someone knows something we can discuss in the Cafe !

If you’re talking to me (I know you don’t) I would be and I am open to any article for discussion without getting upset. Most people thing that things are always linear or without any nuances of any color, that’s not the reality and when they find out other nuances, they begin to have some difficulties.
ioan … your attitude is of the open mind and you notice different information quickly. Quick story about attitudes … we had a new employee diesel fitter join our union run workshop, when unions were useful … 1980s. I was union rep and he wanted to see me about the union fees of about $100 per year., because he did not want to pay the fees because he did not like unions … real joker this one … some mothers do have ’em type !
So, you come into a union workplace get paid overtime … work on good concrete floors with various overhead cranes … get free tools, clothes and boots plus all free safety gear. On overtime past 7pm you get a full meal with canned fruit and you get six weeks holidays paid with a 17% loading bonus. You can live in house for $80 per week all inclusive … power, water, room cleaning and three meals a day in the dinning room, plus there is a Cafe and club with pool tables and TV. Well it’s like this … mate … if you don’t think all this is worth $100 per year, you have two options now … resign … or officially donate $100 to any charity of your choice through the company pay office. Lovely lovely people also who do not vote for a pay rise, but receive it anyway when the rise is granted. The pay rises were often ‘offered’ but we had to rally a bit and ‘fight’ for them, if you know what I mean. Those days are gone.
OMG, crypto-philes and crypto-phobes.

Here’s a quote from Volume 1 (of 2) The Internet of Money by Andreas Antonopolous:
By the way, in the forward he says all of these articles are just edited talks he gave, and are available on the internet, but I am a book collector. Besides, finding the talks in the right chronological order on the internet might take up a lot of time….and time is the one currency that never stopped flowing yet, to my knowledge, so I figure to save a lot of that chrono-currency by “getting the book”.
Here goes:
Bitcoin as a Mechanism to Opt In and Opt Out
“If you understand that bitcoin is a technology and not just a currency, you can truly grasp the importance that it has. Again, it’s not about us. It is about the other 6.5 billion. It is about the ability to bring to the world a level of financial integration that the world has never seen before. From our perspective in the privileged world, it is a great technology. We can do some disruptive innovation. We can build some interesting services. But if you are a Kenyan farmer who’s trying to raise money in order to buy seed, and now you can do decentralized peer-to-peer lending and reach out to lenders from all across the globe, this is not just a technology—this is truly life-changing.
The vast majority of the world lives under repressive and corrupt regimes with central banks that impose hyper-inflationat 30 per cent a month. It’s much more important to see how bitcoin can affect all those people. There are 2 billion people on the internet and only 1 billion of them have bank accounts. We can change that. It’s not going to be easy, make no mistake about it. When you throw a disruptive technology in the middle of the most powerful organizations on the planet, they don’t like it. Right now, we are still in the early stages. To use the trite expression, “First they ignore us, then they laugh at us, then they fight us, then we win.” We’re still at the laughing at us stage. That’s quite all right, because by the time they get to fighting us, they’ve already lost. This technology just went global with the introduction of more than $2.5 billion from Chinese investors who discovered a counterbalance to the world domination of the global reserve currency of the US dollar.”
The next chapter is a lot of fun. Teaching chimpanzees to use money, and low and behold, they invent prostitution and armed robbery, all on their own! All the better to get all the bananas they can use, purchased with their new discovery…..er gift…..er curse (that had to be taught to them) .

Anyone from Ecuador in the café? Former president Correa says there is a coup d’etat taking place.
https://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Ecuador-Correa-Warns-Coup-Underway-as-Moreno-Orders-Unconstitutional-Referendum-Vote-20171130-0015.html
Sure. I studied in Spanish there, grades 4,5,6, 7.
There was a European or American lady living in Cuenca (in the Andes) that used to comment here quite a bit….last year, I think.
Correa should have known that the “popular forces” there, like in all of Ibero-America have a long, long way to go.
Oligarchism is very deeply entrenched there.
Presidents that want to change it (like Jaime Roldos….see John Perkin’s Confessions of an Economic Hit Man) are blown out of the sky. Correa, for whatever his moral strengths or weaknesses are, ( I haven’t kept up with struggles within that small country in much detail at all……) apparently at least made that adjustment. Or he would not still be breathing.
Thanks for the perspective, Bro! I read the article on TeleSUR which quotes Correa, stating directly that this is a coup, but I had a hard time connecting all the dots. I need Pepe Escobar to explain it to me like he did with the Car Wash scheme in Brazil!
Down memory lane… and speaking of connecting dots… here’s an interview with Canadian Maj-General Eric Findley from 2002. He was in charge of NORAD on Sept. 11.

Great discovery Paul, very, very interesting, thanks !
I don’t know about masonic connections or any of that stuff, but Diego Garcia is a British Island that is pretty much entirely a military base that was turned over to the Americans for air operations back during Dubya’s Iraq War.
I seem to recall some stories from about that time that what islanders remained on the island being forceably removed.
Connecting to others on the navigational trip through hell, seems to be the order at the vineyard Community Cafe, in a sort of virtual, world-collective moveable feast. (Is that what Dennis means by “Communal Sex”, accept that he muddles things up ? ?)

NEVER SPEAK TO THE FBI WITHOUT A LAWYER.
Here’s the trick the FBI used to use on anti-war activists. Two FBI agents knock on your door. They ask you what appears to be a simple question, such as ‘Can you tell us where your roomate is?” You answer ‘No’.
It turns out that the FBI has bugged your cellphones so they know that your roommate texted you that she was going to the gym.
Lying to the FBI has a prison sentence of 5 years attached to it. Part of the massive over-sentences in the American police state that leads to people who protest a president they don’t like facing 75 years in prison or a hacker who publishes academic papers paid for by tax payer research grants committing suicide when facing 30+ years in prison.
So, for answering what appeared to be a simple and innocent question from two FBI agents, the ‘activist’ now finds themselves in an interrogation room being presented with the choice of spending the next five years in Federal Prison, or having to flip and inform on their friends and fellow activists.
Thus, NEVER TALK TO AN FBI AGENT WITHOUT A LAWYER. Even if the questions seem simple and innocent and you want to appear to be cooperative. It is legal to tell the FBI and other law enforcement that you will only talk to them when your lawyer is present. They will of course try to intimidate you into abandoning this right. You’ll hear them say ‘What, do you have something to hide?’ if you try to assert your rights. But remember, simply talking to the FBI is very dangerous and you need to have your lawyer present before you answer even the simplest question.
Gen. Flynn is now being forced to testify for Hillary’s special prosecutor because he didn’t follow this advice.

One of the lesser known things about the fbi is the f stands for faggot. This parasitical gestapo outfit from the outset consisted literally of fascist faggots and never reformed. They are just as faggot now as they were under gay edgar hoover. Look how they conduct themselves, their rampant institutional corruption and criminality. Pure cowardly arse bandit mentality and values. The whole outfit should be prosecuted as a criminal gang with scaffolds in abundance outside the courthouses.
I posted a link to a recent Mike Whitney column in the Newswire. Here’s an outtake that particularly caught my eye. He writes about how the Democrats really lost the election, instead of their fantasies that it was all Putin’s fault.
“Turns out, many of Hillary’s Deplorables used to be Democrats before the party affixed itself leech-like to the Wall Street banks, the tech giants and the big weapons manufacturers. The more cozy the Dems got with the corporate giants, the more working people got thrown under the bus, until now the entire center of the country–from North Carolina to Idaho– is blood-red GOP territory, a clear sign that the Dems no longer speak the language of working people, in fact, they look down their noses at them.
If the Democratic Party is the party of working people than how did a bloviating, billionaire casino magnate win the election? The election results prove that whatever the Dems are selling, working people ain’t buying.”
I had never heard of this person before, and I didn’t know whether they were male or female. I read this, this morning and went WOW…
If there is an award for young journalist of the year…then in my view This Girl has got it….
This is awesome
” It Is Your Human Duty To Stand Unapologetically In Your Own Authority”
By Caitlin Johnstone
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/48316.htm
Tony
It’s a good article.
Many more people are taking courage, or starting to try to be more human and develop some authority of their own. It’s not easy, because that has not been the prevailing habit, and certainly not the encouragement of the society around them.
Sheeple are scared by the responsibility of their own authority being challenged by the world outside of themselves, so their short term habit is to seek, in their anxiety and “stress”…immediate comfort in numbers” by blind acceptance of authority outside of their own capacity for reason, as long as they feel there is a sufficient number of others of the same stupid opinions (opinions that are not even of their own attempted formation…but, much, much worse, are merely of their own “borrowing” from others of apparent “accepted” authority such as MSM……… for immediate comfort and security of not being singled out as “out of step” with “the mainstream”.
Which happens to be about as healthy as the sewer channel running under the street they live on.
Believe it or not, Americans in earlier times (19th century and earlier) were mostly a much more stubborn frontier “inner directed” bunch.
With mass media brainwashing techniques of fearmongering and reducing the individual to an other directed…. shmuck…examined by David Reisman in The Lonely Crowd…. (The Red Scare McCarthyism was a huge step in this direction, as well as economic fears of non-conformity in the white collar world of corporations….and the compulsive need to “keep up with the Joneses in conspicuous consumption……) the ability to think morally and independently was drastically eroded and you got the soul-less, brainwashed “Organization Man”….and his wife and family following behind…all steeped in hours of the most banal television immersion, for many hours, daily.
London’s Tavistock Institute (and RCA…back in the Fifties!!!) was central in all that social engineering.
As well as Hollywood and their portrayals of the American as a rage filled individualist (Clint Eastwood, Charles Bronson) who would sooner fill you full of lead for something you said, as look at you.
But once you are out of shape and obese and are punchless, you delegate that capacity for violence to your “troops” and hope they can mete out the violence you can only fantasize about.
Troops who usually find out the hard way that they were lied to and their government became evil by co-option by the globalists who view The People as farm animals or……….. toilet paper……and the entire earth as…their farm.
A mega-tragedy worthy of artisitic rendition by William Shakespeare!
But…..LOL…… it can STILL “end well” …better than we thought it would……… if enough human beings stop following external, false authority and never weken in developing their own, internal capacities for seeking and discovering truth.
A capacity Will’s audiences were provoked to reflect on after seeing the consequences of others not doing so, on the stage, right before them.
Cockatoos coming from all around to say Good Morning
… Chatswood, Sydney, Australia …

Some idiots cage these birds !
Semi-wild is better, like these fearless flyers dropping in for lunch on a high rise balcony in Australia.
I had one wild bird in my voluntary grasp for half a minute once, for rescue purposes, about 150 miles off Vancouver Island, Canada.
It was one of these gliders this dumb video makes fun of, because to lift off from the waves,all these “gooney birds” really do is point into the ocean wind when they get to the top of the wave, and they lift right off the water with those long wings, without even flapping them once.
But here they are grounded, no waves, no ocean breeze, being made fun of by some dumb humans that have nothing better to do:
https://youtu.be/lVmoYVTZTXU
Those 3 feet plus wings are NOT made for takeoff flapping! Duh!
They are the North Pacific cousin of the famous Albatross of the Southern Ocean.
I was out on the Lindy, 100-200 miles offshore from Oregon to British Columbia, on a 70 ft Halibutt schooner (built the year Charles Lindberg crossed the Atlantic in the Spirit of St Louis)….. on a 24 day trip trolling Albacore tuna……. 28 tons were landed at Port Angeles in the Straits of Juan de Fuca circa 1974.
Long, slow deep swells coming south out of the Gulf of Alaska storminess, the peaks a couple of hundred feet apart from each other, the troughs in between so deep that a mast of another albacore troller the next trough over would literally disappear from sight when we were in the adjacent trough with a wave peak between us blocking each other from view completely.
From dawn until dusk these large gliding birds of 6-7 ft wingspan would hardly ever flap their wings, skimming the surface of the troughs at considerable speed, searching the wide ocean for the food that it sometimes spotted swimming just below the surface of the water, then turning over the top of the wave and gliding hundreds of yards in the wave trough in the other direction, with hardly ever a flap of its wings.
For twenty days not one of these gliders struck the double barbed feathered lures, 4 lines off of each trolling pole lowered from the two sides of the boat at a 45 degree angle, and another one right off the stern 150 ft or so, pulled at half throttle from dawn till dark. But a few thousand Albacore did strike those feathered surface lures!
Then one northern “Albatross” got confused or desperate or something and DID strike the stern lure!
The captain saw it out of the aft window of the pilot house and slowed down…the poor bird hooked in the inner beak. its wings bent and its body flopping and tumbling over its wings and the waves as we towed it behind us.
I put the monofilament nylon line between the double stainless steel plates of the hydraulic puller and gently hauled the bird in, plopped him on the rolling deck softly enough but he or she lost balance and fell down on one wing against its body, I got the hook out of his mouth, and picked him up like a tray (big bird,,,,heavy) and dropped him right side up, over the stern. He or she sat there on the waves til he or she was out of sight of the Lindy. Probably recalculating hunting technique. Probably the last time fooled by a hooked lure. A very rare occurrence, according to the skipper.
Here’s the Lindy with 6 others in a little ceremonial parade video I found that has 7 of the remaining nearly 100 year old NW Halibut Schooners that used to number 130+ based in Seattle:

Nice photo of a classic Pacific NW “blast from the past” ….followed by a parade of 7 that the Lindy is (unfortunately….boo hoo….) lost in…
In the comments Ron says, “My Grandfather, Selmer Sund fished on one of these boats more than fifty years ago. He fished on the “Lindy”. Would anyone know how to find any pictures of the Lindy? It would mean a lot to my family.”
A Fisherman’s daughter sees the same video and thread and answers Ron:
“Ron Steinman,
My Dad has owned the Lindy for the last 30 years and I grew up fishing on it. Send me your email and I’ll try to put together some pictures for you. Most of mine tend to be from behind the rail but I could make a point to get some for you. If you’re ever in Petersburg, Alaska area look us up for a tour.
All the best,
Haley DesRosiers”

Now what City over in the Russian part of Baltic Sea is Haley’s hometown named after? “Sanct Peterburg” they call it po Ruski.
Small world, huh?
Thanks, Pavel! If not for your cockatoos down under I never would have had that bird and the FV Lindy on my mind this evening!
@ Bro … ten years back the wife told me we had to pick up a bird with a cage as someone was leaving town. The cage was a large 1.5 metre heavy wire cube. Inside was a yellow crested cockatoo as you saw in the Chatswood, Sydney video. The owner said the bird could not fly, so I wondered why the bird was caged at all. At home the first thing I did was remove the top of the cage and I made a tall ladder that went about eight feet off the ground and this was integrated with the heavy base. At the top of the ladder I fitted a length of hardwood most suitable for the bird’s claws to grasp and be comfortable. King become known as Kingster and we used to sing his name … Kingster, Kingster, d d da dar … sort of. He perched high for hours and responded to our singing with his own little songs. Once he got a spring type plastic clothes peg locked on his beak, so I got pliers and a screwdriver and told King to not worry. I went in to do what I had to and he never flinched. King got trapped between two fences and we only realised this at midnight. I had to dig and relieve an outer fence and cut it also. The operation took about twenty minutes and it was complicated, but King emerged alive and well, although a little crushed and weary. King passed away some years back and left our family many fond memories. Kingster-King is buried near our front fence in a very durable PVC coffin. My wife says his name frequently, which she just did, so he lives in our hearts.
When King was not perched he was digging the ground with his beak as he could easily climb out of the cage and wander. He dug himself a cave under a concrete twin laundry tub which was sitting on the ground, where he would hide out … his own bird-cave.
