I think fire in Kemerovo shopping mall was a planned arson. Fire alarm was out of order since a week ago which is the right amount of time to desensitize security. That is probably why a security guard did not switch on the warning system after the start of the fire, despite the fact that it was operational. Why were fire exits in the shopping center blocked? Was this a habit or they blocked them recently? In a video from a security camera that appeared online is missing about 2 minutes just before the fire started. Who cut that part out? Can fire really spread so fast from zero as shown in a video without someone’s help? The timing is also suspicious. It was the beginning of school holidays on Sunday afternoon when mall was packed with families and children. Many of them came with buses on planned trips to the mall. Fire alarm broke just a week ago and then the fire really happened. What are the odds?
I don’t know… it’s just so incredibly terrible tragedy.
Unfortunately many shopkeepers view fire exits as storage areas, and even worse you’ll find fire exits chained-up to prevent opening – theft protection!! Recently fire inspections were reduced to biennial instead of the previous biannual for small businesses, though I doubt that the complex itself would be covered, many businesses inside could possibly be designated as small businesses and thus only inspected biennially. The attitude of many Russians towards electricity is appalling – power point adaptors running off other adaptors all overloading the original power point. Then putting flammable material near this mess.
Additionally, since it was the start of school holidays there would have been masses of decorations, mostly highly inflammable. A friend of mine is a senior firefighter in my children’s and grandchildren’s town and he fights a constant battle showing teachers how inflammable decorations are – it works for a while and then apathy creeps back in.
Last year, a businessman described his business management model in an interview with RBC with a memorable phrase: “We save money burning out domain.”

How is it possible that all doors were locked in an area where people needed to come and go, and enter in the first place.
Not all the doors, just the fire escapes. It’s been reported that the fire exit doors were locked on the 4th floor to prevent people sneaking into the cinemas. That might also explain why the cinema doors themselves were locked. Ushers locked the doors after the film had started.
Worst information revealed so far is that the complex’s last fire check was 2016 – definitely corruption on the part of some people in МЧС. I’m quite sure that heads will roll over this. Sad that so many children had to die to expose this corruption.
The owner of the complex is a Russian oligarch who spends much of his time in Southport, Queensland. I can just see our Foreign Minister, Julia Bishop, demanding he returns to Russia to resolve this – NOT!

Obviously general director of the mall would interpret things to make her look good but I still find Kemerovo fire to be very suspicious. It turns out that the children were locked in the cinema during the fire although that doors are never locked otherwise. Who locked the doors and why?
Her testimony that she was lied the first day about the magnitude of tragedy would explain why on Sunday media didn’t report too much about fire. Of course it is to her benefit to say that, but other witnesses say the same thing that some employees denied there were children in the cinema. What were employees told and by whom?
And then there were two false alarms before Sunday and a security that turned off alarm and didn’t turn it on when the fire stated even if manually they could do that and alarm would start signaling. Probably they thought it was just another false alarm. Or someone told them not to pay attention to alarms any more.
Who gave first orders to lie to whom?
I so wish they would investigate everything and find out what really happened, regardless of how evil it might be. And that people unwillingly involved would tell the truth who is behind this.
Putin has signed a decree declaring three days of national mourning beginning on Wednesday 29th for the victims of the Kemerovo shopping mall fire.
………………………….
“I saw young men pulling children out. My boyfriend was in a state of shock. They tried to enter the cinema hall, but the employees of the “Winter Cherry” told us there were no kids. The guys were doing it on their last breath, holding their noses [not to get poisoned from gas]. But it turned out there were children. They lied to us, they could have saved the kids!” the witness told RT.
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201803261062899171-russia-shopping-center-kids-fire/
“We never locked doors in our cinemas, even though we had comments from the guests that (other patrons) often slam doors during a movie session, but we still never locked doors. How did the children find themselves locked in the halls? If only some technical malfunction, because they were automatic , magnetic locks, I have no more versions, “she said.
“On the same day that the fire broke out, I walked around the staff, asked them if they had brought all the guests out. Absolutely everyone answered me: “All were taken out, all are alive.” Nobody told me children were locked in the movie theatres,” continued Nadezhda.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses say that the same guards held back relatives and friends from entering, in order to try and get their children out. Moreover, a number employees noted that after the false alarms on March 19 and 22, the fire alarm system was completely disconnected. How false were these, or were they intentionally tested to be working in the event of a fire? Who made the decision to switch it off?

A correction, national mourning beginning on Wednesday 28th.
Those that are interested or into cryptocurrencies would be wise to study both of these .. invoice factoring Populous (PPT) as well as blockchain Komodo and here again we see that word – atomic swops.
There also is seemingly an EOS Dawn airdrop on the way, but check me on this. I have not verified thoroughly that this is valid, and not spam. Please verify first.
https://medium.com/@BitPopulous/populous-signs-exclusive-partnership-with-komodo-d89e30251f37
About the EOS Airdrop, I found this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIEa2o51598
Amarynth, perhaps you could explain more what this airdrop is about?
“Airdrops”
I haven’t investigated either Populous or Komodo or what utility they might have. Yet.
It’s hard enough keeping up with one that I have chosen to put my attention on: EOS
And whether Anonymous 2’s Trump Hallucination (previous Cafe) is more real than our fears or disgust of his Bolton appointment.. THAT may have more impact than the entire market 100 times over!
But linked below here, Kyle in England gives examples of airdrops as being in the equivalent category as a sort of “dividend” comprised of new (usually very cheap) tokens of DApps being added onto a platform sort of crypto such as Etherium or EOS…..saying expect them to vary from being almost inconsequential….to some being immediately fat bonuses…when the traction of the new application and its token or coin is quite rapid…..and everything in between:
https://youtu.be/MsuruMDM22I
In general “airdrops” (free tokens of newly named crypto-curency issue, for in this case EOS token holders) are an extra “dividend” reason to learn more about the platform sorts of cryptos many others may work from…. that carry this possible reward with them…..which is not to be ignored, it seems reasonable to conclude.
More to the point, whether “news” seems good or bad in investment as in politics, generally “stash that flash right in the trash” and dig deeper….for something more solid and enduring than flash… and then react…maybe!
Example today, news that TWITTER is banning crytpo ads…is said to be a reason for a sell-off.
Flighty Fools!
There is other news of a more positive nature but it is quieter. CBOE recommends that SEC approve Bitcoin ETFs. (Exchange Traded Funds….an easy way for millions to participate through a broker without the numerous (rewarding!!) headaches of the people struggling with the new and difficult to master component parts of the this “space”.
Birds of a feather flit and tweet hither and yon at the slightest breeze. But which is of more enduring effect, Twitter’s widely reported “thumbs down” or CBOE’s quiet “thumbs up”? (Chicago Board of Exchange)
Who cares about MSM and Twitter anyway?? You actually have a competitive advantage in both micro and macro-economic thinking (whether you choose to employ it or not…) if your silent answer is “Not me!”
In any case, the Twitter ban is for ICO ads. Initial Coin Offering ads….which are much more of a crap shoot for even serious people that have the time to investigate them…let alone flighty, flashy sorts that bite on any attractive, flashy lure. SO the ban is actually good or neutral news…not “bad” news.
Discernment.
Here’s a link to details on the eosDAC airdrop happening on April 15th 2018, 01:00:00 UTC:
https://eosdac.io/tokens/
Following Bro’s tip, I have been watching Kyle’s “The Awakenment” YT channel.
One of the main questions that started driving Kyle’s inquiry was how to understand the value of the EOS token. The analogy that he’s come up with is this: Bitcoin = “Blockchain cash”; Ethereum = “Blockchain Oil”; and EOS = “Blockchain Real Estate”. He’s elaborated this analogy into the idea that investors buying tokens is akin to buying commercial RE. Just as commercial RE is rented or sold to businesses, so too EOS tokens can be rented or sold on a market to dAPP developers.
As Kyle describes it, the market for these tokens is that dAPP developers need them, because they need to pay for their app’s bandwidth on the EOS network using EOS tokens. According to the EOS white paper the block producers will charge the dAPP providers a variable fee based upon their computational bandwidth requirements. To the end customers, the system appears to be “free” but from the perspective of the blockchain the dAPPs initiating transactions must pay. Here, I wonder how app developers will manage if the EOS tokens are subject to the same levels of volatility seen in other cryptos. E.g., what happens when the cost of running transactions for your app goes up and down by 10% in a day?
One of the next questions concerns the inflation of the token supply. When the EOS blockchain goes live, there will be 1 billion tokens, with 10% held by Block.one. The EOS Constitution states that the total number of tokens can be inflated by up to 5% per year, in order to pay the block producers. AFAICT, the block producers as a group actually vote on what this inflation rate should be, so it could even be higher than 5%. Kyle seems to think 2% is more reasonable, though it seems to me that he pretty much pulls this number out of the current mainstream economic discourse on central banks (e.g. the Fed, BoJ, and ECB) targeting 2% inflation per year.
At 2% inflation, after five years there would be a 10% increase in the number of EOS tokens. At 5% inflation, after five years there would be a 25% increase in the number of EOS tokens. Naturally, this will dilute the value of all EOS tokens. So, the block producers will want higher inflation (which means more tokens for them) while the token investors will probably want lower inflation.
There are some lingering questions about this (I know I have questions), so I imagine Kyle will talk more about this in the days to come.
I guess one big question for me is whether EOS can really facilitate an alternative currency or whether it’s more about the creation of a system of virtual real estate, with virtual landlords, token speculators, a virtual rentier class, etc.
I have found this interesting excerpt about the NWR (new world religion) maybe lurking behind the post-WW3 NWO. This excerpt is the incipit of publication.
From publication(*):
Satan in Satin: Overwhelming Proof that the Apparitions of the Virgin Mary are Demonic Deceptions
(by Jeremy James)
[www.zephaniah.eu]
(*) downloadable online as .PDF
######## {BEGIN}
At the outset I should say that this is a difficult topic to write about. Even Catholics who are deeply sceptical about the validity of these phenomena are unlikely to be comfortable with a categorical assertion that all Marian apparitions are demonic. Some may accuse the author of bias or even religious intolerance. However, I am
more than satisfied that anyone who takes the time to consider impartially the
information set out in this paper will undergo a change of attitude. The facts will speak for themselves. This critique is directed, not just at Catholics who are sincerely anxious to establish whether or not any of these apparitions are genuine, but also at born-again Christians who are being lured into the trap of Ecumenism, best exemplified by the subversive
accord, Evangelicals and Catholics Together (1994).
True Biblical Christianity is in crisis. Numerous false teachings, heresies and
doctrinal errors have taken a firm hold on the evangelical church over the past century or so. The pace of decay has accelerated in recent years and the Enemy is making astonishing progress. Today, the deception is so great and so cleverly constructed that the true situation is probably a good deal worse than we think. The Bible, and in particular the Book of Revelation, has already explained the reason for this. Satan is building his own religious system, a system so close to true Christianity that the vast majority of professing Christians will be unable to tell the difference. What is more, this version of Christianity will incorporate numerous doctrinal and practical elements that will make it acceptable to followers of all religions.
Once it is fully operational it will constitute the One World global religion
that the Enemy will use to usher in his own messiah, a flesh and blood man with
supernatural abilities known as the Antichrist. The Coming One-World Religion Unless Catholics recognize that a One-World religion is in formation, and that it is central to the rise of the Antichrist, they will not understand the role of the Marian apparitions. These visions, which purport to be of Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, are actually apparitions by Satan himself in an extremely attractive and beguiling
form. Through them he is authenticating the Papacy as the pre-eminent religious
authority in the world today. The Popes in turn are authenticating the apparitions and publishing Encyclicals that are stealthily elevating the Virgin to the status of a goddess.
All religions, even Islam, will acknowledge the sanctified perfection of Mary. She is already recognized by Islam as the most perfect woman who ever lived. Her standing among Muslims would increase even more if she was seen to embrace them through her apparitions and associated messages. There is evidence that this is already
happening. By appearing as the Queen of Heaven and the Goddess of Peace to followers of different religions, she will draw Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists into the broad Catholic fold. Even liberal Protestants, who already accord a special status to Mary, will be strongly disposed to accept the validity of her apparitions by their seemingly supernatural aspects, the ecumenism and inclusiveness of her message, and her oft-repeated promise to bring world peace.
The Marian apparitions are the key to the coming One-World religion. They are preparing the way for the New Age Messiah who will pose as Christ and demonstrate miraculous abilities. A great many of the apparitions to date have emphasized the role of the Virgin in bringing peace to a troubled world and uniting people of all nations. If a crisis of sufficient magnitude were to develop – such as a Third World War – she could, through her apparitions, open the door to the worldwide acceptance of her ‘Son’. She could even claim that she is sending him to restore world peace and usher
in a New Age of tranquility, prosperity and cosmic harmony.
######## {END}
Of all the mosaic religions, naturally there is only one really which counts, the one which ‘invented’ the others, therefore todays Judaics with their Talmud are the most advanced and most succesful, they have almost total control over their offsprings, in both cases right from the beginning: Moses->Jesus->Paul and early Christian scholars -> Mohammed (when one is to believe what is written).
Thus if one wants to have a more untainted source one is to look deeper into Eurasia and farther East, for instances the Upanishads which clearly have far, far more spiritual, philosophical depth, but very hard to decipher (Sanskrit is an necessecity if one wants to circumvent the western cheese interpretations).
I’m a (catholic) Christian by birth, and find a lot in the Evangelion, but the rest is quite a thin dish with a lot of poison interwoven at every crucial point starting with the Genesis which is abysmally poor when compared with the Upanishad (The Upanishads even reflects on it’s own history and fully preserves the very old beginnings). The Bible and Evangelion offers nothing to effectively build a society, though it presents some of it’s essential fundamental truths. This mostly is a historic distortion of the truth which was most certainly readily available already at that time, As we know there is no historic proof of either Jesus or the Evangelion being a representation of a historical event having taken place. Even the tracks of Peter who insisted that the Evangelion by Jesus was solely for the Jews, left no trace whatsoever in Judaic history ! Most scholars agree that the writings we posses were written hundreds of years after the events portrayed.
All this brings Christians and Moslems into a very difficult position, their roots are afloat and open for interpretation, however the Talmud is not in any way, it is closed and secured, because it is not about religion but instead society !
We must gain secured ground or we are doomed ! That secured ground cannot lay in the corrupted and degenerated forms of Christianity or Islam which they are without any doubt ! One must become literally mad when following all their paths, because of all the twisting and jerking right from the beginning, they were setup only to be ruled by others !!
Very beautiful words… by a Jew:

Hope this help to answer to many questions.
@Prisoner#6 Well nice video, sounds very cozy and I congrat that chap when he found something which added to his understandings of god. However my scope was a completly different one, namely the one of culture, knowing about god in order to build a society. Even if all Judaics would believe in the New Testament and refute the Talmud which in essence they would have to, that would not change anything, they still as this chap demonstrates own the story. We know nothing about god, he is nowhere in our daily physical live, we live in a thoroughly ANTI god society and culture. Even the Bible says, one is measured not by what he believes but rather the results of his actions ! So if in our daily dealings we are doing things permanently which are against GOD, then all are in fact ANTI-god people, no matter what they dream about.. This is very serious stuff ! My intention was to show, that we need a new solid foundation to create a new society, because the one now WILL go to hell in a very straight line now !

Very interesting but I have to disagree with you on many of the things you bought up. First of all the way we view it in Islam, is that all three monotheistic faith’s are all one in their origin. They all came from God to the respective prophet in which the message of that time was revealed. In the Islamic view the overall message was always the same, just different things were revealed, based on societies needs and possibly other factors. The differences only took place after the time of the prophets(pbut). We don’t see Islam as a continuation of “Judaism” in the way Judaism exists today. However we do see the message revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (saww) as a continuation of the revelations given to the previous prophets(pbut). Meaning we don’t believe that this message the Jew’s present today to be the message that God(swt) revealed to the Prophet Moses(as). We believe corruption took place, for whatever reason. Thats one of the reasons we believe they didn’t accept the message of the Messiah Jesus (as), because the religon has been changed so much that what Prophet Jesus(as) was spreading sounded so foregin to what the “religous elite” were teaching. So who was right in this dispute? Of course the truth was with the Messiah Jesus son of Mary (as). Of course in this dispute, the Prophet Jesus(as) was the one who was following the true religon as revealed to the Prophet Moses(as), even though God (swt) sent him with certain new laws. I have to leave my answer to this for now, have to get home from work :) i might add more at a later time.
I finished reading the comments from the last two cafes, and took a few notes that were zingers for me. As is not uncommon, Bro had a few zingers from left field that caught my attention. The best of the lot was “D.Learyous,” which I heard as Delirious. That’s a keeper; it describes my better half, the Inner Anima who can only be safe and sane in a Love Bower, fully protected by a community of lovers. Therein, I can go “all he way” around the bases, sliding into home in a crescendo of ecstasy. Delirious indeed.
Bro is widely read, with a song and dance for every nuance of thought; I’d call it “sexatious,” if it would not be reduced too grossly, from its pure meaning of coupling for new life. I like the idea that Patriarchy’s days are down to 93, which I am led to believe is a number for love. I agree that She-sus, or She’sus, is a love conductor, “coming ‘round the mountain” of Patriarchy; although I think tunneling through it is more suggestive.
Thanks to Bro, I get the real meaning of obor: oh bower of revelation, comin’ round the world mountain, a Love Train unstuck in any pass. We’ve had our tete a tete over the Love Engineer, flagging down the double E, to the tune of “don’t she look good, comin’ after me.” All is made clear with Tuba Trump on third base, from where he gets to walk home with Miss Maga Trumpet.
Speaking of the freemason game of baseball, how can home plate be the center of the square? or how can a compass trace base paths from first to third, and get 9‘s and 3‘s. I don’t get it but I do get the male bats and female eggs, as base consciousness; or as I put it: “Sex is where it’s at.”
Was it Bro who linked to that article about China rating and ranking its people? … and the photo of all those young girls in surgical caps and gowns, working on red plastic whatever’s. If they were allowed to gossip and carry on among themselves, it would be a jolly scene; but I suspect it is like a classroom with no cross-talking allowed–not to mention that this photo is Hollywood style propaganda for business. The seamy, steamy side factories would hardly be shown; but perhaps Bro is right: China is in transition to a happy workers’ paradise for all.
I’m delighted to hear Bro does not use GPS; maybe he’s not all in with the new world order after all. But I’m puzzled about whether the following quote from him, lauding “that disruptive power” refers to Trump, me or the Crypts; I hope it’s me because it’ an excellent self-portrait: “It is Simple: That disruptive power outweighs cynical, childish, fear-laden word play with ‘chains’ and ‘blocks’ and other nonsensical, non-thinking ‘little me’ egoism.”
ioan the Brave brings up a subject of controversy, namely a world gone to the dogs. Good, I love controversy; it’s a sign of freedom and life. Probably 90% of vineyarders here think what ioan writes. ioan says: “A dog is not a pet but a living creature” He doesn’t say what dog is, precisely, other than the fuzzy “living creature,” which would apply equally well to algae. Is a dog a person? a soul? a spirit? an intermediate new creation? He describes a dog’s love for its master who died six months prior, and Hachito who waited for nine years for his master, making the case for a dog being man’s best friend; nice sentiments.
“That is Love.” Yes, but what kind of love? ioan quotes me as saying “having a dog is one of the greatest sins.” I have never stated it that way, but ioan is smart enough to draw the conclusion from what I have said. Yes, I believe bonding with an animal, which most people call pets, is immoral and leads to war, and therefore would be classified as a “sin” in Christian terms. However, to soften the sting, we are all sinners, with our peculiar addictions, which may be more hidden and subtle, and equally dangerous. I don’t know if this kind of relationship with animals is the one of the greatest sins or not, but it violates one of the ten commandments of love.
ioan and I disagree, but to our credit are discussing the matter, rather than sweeping it under the rug. ioan says I don’t accept his version because I’m stubborn. Not true. I have strong reasons for my position, and he feels the same about his reasons. We could enter into an examination of the relative value of those reasons but all parties would have to be reasonable rather than emotional. Until that circumstance obtains, I prefer not to go into that argumentative mode, since I’ve done that a few times, and it leads nowhere because my reasons are not heard, and opposing reasons are simply not presented; but others see it otherwise.
Rather than that, allow me to share my experience with animals. I love free animals, particularly wild horses on the open plains, perhaps because I’m a sagittarius. I love all free animals, like the coyotes and hawks that I see around here, and mountain lions and bears that I don’t see. Coyotes sometimes wander through the property; they are so graceful and beautiful with their loping pace, and are amazingly quick and strong, like wolves of the north country.
There are many wild and free animals that I admire, which are presented in the media. They touch something deep in me, like they did the Indians of this continent. I want to be free and wild like them. Although suppressed by my upbringing in this slavery culture, the “call of the wild” is still in me. I am composed of 98% animal stock, with an overlay of soul and spirit, a 49 to 1 ratio in favor of animality.
The question is: what kind of an animal do I want to be? In the love bowers of our origins, we would not have dreamed of making these sovereign creatures pets, or whatever ioan chooses to call them. We interacted with them, but would never have fed them; if they were sick or wounded and dying, we would have given them the dignity of dying free, as tens of thousands of them did in the recent fire here. Can you imagine taking ten thousand of them to the animal shelter, where all but one would be put down? Although not to that degree, that’s what’s happening now.
I talk to these free animals of the past and present, and I imagine them talking back to me, as they did to the native americans in their shamanic visions and journeys. Pets talk to me in an entirely different way than to their masters. They tell me of the deaths of their brothers and sisters, who are put down (a human euphemism for killing them) for being troublesome, disobedient or un-presentable. They grieve over their own slavery and lack of freedom, although they must dissemble, conform or die. They mourn over the billions of their kind who are tortured and slaughtered for meat to fill the gullets and purses of humans.
The eyes of pets show deep sorrow, although their owners claim they are bright with light. My eyes show the same sorrow and fear but like everything else, we have an indistinguishable spark buried deep within the corrugated corruptions of a love deprived humanity. That spark is the love of freedom and sovereignty within a safe and sane love community. I thank ioan for surfacing a subject of the greatest importance in our battle against the imperial masters who would make a pet of Russia.
I like ioan’s poem on the wallet, which will be a relic under the new crypto-mania regime. I also like Bro’s comment on the same subject, from the chiropractic angle. I haven’t used a wallet for fifty years. My pockets work well for my driver’s license, car key, bills and coins.
amarynth, I am not talking about “free love” in the sense of hedonism and debauchery, but of the freedom of love within a well-governed and safe “communal sex” bower of from 50 to 150 persons; say, 100 for convenience, composed of 3 in womb, 4 in arms, 4 toddlers, 6 young children, 6 older children, 6 pre-teens, 8 teens, 10 young adults, 30 adults, 20 elders and 3 dying;with thousands of these small units connected and inter-flowing together. This was our original condition, full of life and love, vim and vigor–largely destroyed by patriarchy.
Also, I don’t believe the Inquisition had anything to do with orgies of priests and nuns. It was about protecting power from heretics, the empire created patsies and fall-guys, like isis of today. And I agree that the Animus is also an inner psychological consciousness, if I understand your point. I was alluding to our anatomy, which in men is outward and in women inward, per the dictum; “anatomy is destiny.” Thanks for your reply.
teranam shows pre-cognitive capacity in her dietary advice. I changed my diet last week with promising results.
I have to say that mundanomaniac has a rare gift for turning a phrase which pleases my eye and ear, and heart as well. For example:
“Newborn Heart Taking on the Father…
Moon’s inside
Snail shell of time
Moon hiking
Cleaning of the hearts
The sign of the strength of the center
The vineyard…in spring”
[To name but a few]
Here’s a keeper from Jung: “If you marry the ordered with the chaos, you author the divine child…” (Me?) Thanks mundo. Unfortunately, I don’t have teranam’s understanding of astrology, or I would offer a better analysis.
Anonymous 2 brings a welcome breath of fresh air into the cafe. I don’t recall seeing that pseudonym before. He claims to be hallucinating just for fun, but all the study he or she has put into politics argues for something more than humor. In his parody of professional wrestling, Putin comes off as organizing this charade, which makes him a point guard for the new empire of goodness. The documentaries on him strike me as just too perfect, as if he’s been groomed for this job of good guy from way back.
But Trump is the enigma wrapped in mystery. He, too, seems to have been trained from early on for his role as court fool. Donald is Jewish, and that explains a lot; he’s also for big business, the military, entertainment (while acting anti-media), banking and God. If you’re one of the bosses, what’s not to like? As an icing on the cake bonus, he’s an actor with a knack for firing everything in sight. He and Kim look like Sumo wrestlers with their ballast bellies. The empire maestros need to keep the pot boiling, and Trump’s the guy to keep turning up the heat, stirring and steering the money on a one way street from fearful, confused, drugged, helpless taxpayers, consumers and obedient serfs to its rightful owners.
As long as Donald commandeers all the attention, we won’t bother paying attention to the ones who are hell bent on making us miserable. Rapid and unpredictable change, especially with the threat of nuclear war, makes business boom, and investors’ portfolios swell like wrestlers’ pectorals. The managers of illusion don’t even need real wars anymore, since fake wars, fake terrorist shootings, fake sex abuse, fake science and fake money produce bigger profits than the real thing. The hired actors are mostly Jewish like Trump. I hope we don’t find out someday that Putin is Jewish but it fits the overall script of the imperial playwrighters.
Thanks to one and all for letting me in on a little bit of your lives; as I try to do with mine, while admitting that I may not be right.
Love, Dennis
Hi Dennis, you have eyes like an eagle, you can see the acne on the penis of a flea. Of course you know very well what I tried to say about dogs, they have soul, spirit, they have personality and have an tremendous affection. If you ask me, I have a great experience with dogs, in all kind of circumstances, in house, in garden, in the nature etc.,which consists of more than 40 years – years since I have them every day near me – not taking in consideration the childhood and younger years. Have you ever had any dogs to be part of your life ? probably not in the sense I had them. Never mind, let’s agree that we disagree on this question OK ?
“but perhaps Bro is right: China is in transition to a happy workers’ paradise for all”
The story was of Chinese slave workers who are now going to be “socially scored” by government big brother. If you don’t score well you have greater difficulty finding your next job.
As far as China is concerned or any civilization that I do not know, for me its best to understand that I do not know. Jeff Brown wrote about China’s Social Credit System, and it seems with reading and listening to this, it is at least possible to grasp some of the underlying values.
http://www.greanvillepost.com/2018/01/11/chinas-public-social-credit-system-versus-the-wests-secret-panopticon/
“Jeff Brown wrote about China’s Social Credit System”
Well, that doesn’t mention the stuff from the Sputnik article:
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201803171062634257-china-rating-citizens-government/
“The rating will be applied, regarding such criteria as education, income rate, career achievments
…
Those, who have a low rating will face a number of problems, including difficulties in finding a job”
East, West – spot the difference.
You don’t understand China and Asia, a chinese worker, as his Japanese twin, sees no problem at all with that (>90%) because chinese see themselves much much different than we individualized zombies do. Their perspective is one toward the people and the Country – the great CHIN(A). No society could develop such momentum as the Chinese do, if a zoo like individuality contest was raging ! It was quite the same with all non-expansionist, non-aggressive (mostly) success stories in the West as well ! The US up to 1960, Japan 1930-1990, Germany mid 19th Century – 1914, 1932-1939 (or 1945 depending on perspective). Each of these periods were phases of tremendous generative energy, which can only develop when forces are joned and directed. In each of these periods the Common instead of the individual was the projective plane whose reflected light then elevated the individual, that was the narrative but also a real reality for the largest parts of the society ! China’s momentum cannot be broken, only hampered for the next 10-15 years atleast ! Same for the Russian Federation were Vladimir Vladimirowitsch also found a common formula for the country into which it can expand for the next fifty years easily !! Not so for the ‘West’, most likely only a large crisis analogue in depth and thoroughness as Russia or China went through (in many respects W-Europe is in an even worse position, the longer the poison destroys all of common Europe traits and goals, which in essence are very valid had they not been betrayed !) and a new narrative and goal can bring that, the door towards East remains open, but is slammed shut instead at every possible instant. Hang’Em High, the earlier the better for all !
“the great CHIN(A). No society could develop such momentum as the Chinese do, if a zoo like individuality contest was raging !”
Here’s the reality – China now has more $billionaires than the US:
https://www.rt.com/business/362657-china-has-most-billionaires/
Now we don’t know if workers in the Sputnik picture are happy or sad but we can pretty much guess most of the work is so tedious and repetitive that a robot will do it some time pretty soon. We also know those $billionaires are that as a result not only of their own individual talents but off the back of the folk in the picture.
We are generally led to believe that hundreds of millions of Chinese have been pulled out of poverty by their work in the factory. We are spoon fed the notion that this is good – at least they aren’t starving like in the bad old days.
There are, however, some studies that hold the general level of happiness in China is decreasing as those of “normal” economic means compare themselves unfavourably to the wealth of the increasing super-rich.
Whether this model of increasing wealth disparity is good or bad is debatable. Some would argue that a rising tide lifting all boats (but some more than others) is good. Some would say it is intrinsically bad i.e. the increasing inequality is inherently exploitative.
The real test could come when the robots do actually replace those workers and replacement opportunities, by the hundreds of millions, do not materialise.
In these circumstances the Chinese Social Credit system is designed to disenfranchise those Chinese individuals with lower intelligence and motivation than others on the normal distribution.
If mass unemployment does occur is there any reason to believe the rich and powerful of China will be any more benevolent in respect of policy (e.g. robot taxation) than any other nation/trading group. Bill Gates has talked of such taxation but there is already much automation and no mention of its implementation?
In summary, as it stand, considering growing wealth inequality as a measure of exploitation, then China is more guilty than practically any other nation on earth. Whether the rich and powerful let it’s people starve in the future has yet to be seen.
Of some related interest, South Korea recently introduced a taxation to limit incentives for automation:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2017/08/09/south-korea-introduces-worlds-first-robot-tax/
although, in a world driven by greed and power, my suspicion is the future for most (everyone, everywhere) is bleak.
@Anonymous Your argument against my momentum argument, is in fact none, because they have no real logic relation. The wealth inequality over all Very Certainly is much, much lower than in the realms of the Empire, simply because the Government which is still ‘Communist’ in fact owns everything. As long you have total control over capital flow (even that capital that is allowed to migrate West) than everything is fine as long as there is growth in the Mid section of the society. China had the task to first industrialize, then modernize it’s economy this they did in a marvelous way. The whole brabble about trade war in the Empire is hot air, the US is now totally dependent on the dirt cheap chinese products, because otherwise the living standard in the US will only drop further drastically for the lower half of society. I welcome Trump basic notion of strengthening his domestic production base, it’s rational, only you cannot change everything at once, that would be suicidal. In the end he will be forced to balance it out with Europe and Asia. It is a good thing to reduce the trade imbalance and in fact it should be a chapter in the WTO rules (and probably is), it’s all about equilibrium because the system is inherently unstable and don’t forget the huge production base the Empire is maintaining itself in China (which generate huge profits for the companies involved, which don’t show up in a trade balance sheet), China could close, hamper or even conviscate those, if things are getting over the top. See China since it’s discovery by the West has always been denigrated and teated like a dog, they know it, they expect it, today the more the better, because they can follow their agenda even better. All or most who visited China and traveled it return with very favourable comments, as you can read even on this Site. No matter what the Empire is doing, China will assert it’s position in the Far East And the China – Sea from Malakka – Straight up to Japan including Taiwan and Korea !
“The wealth inequality over all Very Certainly is much, much lower than in the realms of the Empire, simply because the Government which is still ‘Communist’ in fact owns everything.”
They sure do:
http://www.atimes.com/article/communist-party-get-rich-still-glorious/
“…More than 200 of China’s legislators hold individual wealth nearly equivalent to Belgium’s annual GDP, according to a report released at the start of the Communist Party’s annual parliamentary session.
A key focus of the sessions is eliminating poverty and creating a “moderately prosperous society”, a project President Xi Jinping has frequently cited as a national priority in a country that suffers from a gaping chasm between the rich and poor.
…[]…
The opening of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s rubber-stamp legislature, will be held Sunday, with the country’s economic elite and top leaders rubbing shoulders for some two weeks in the imposing corridors of the Great Hall of the People, situated off Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
Out of the more than 5,100 delegates to these two assemblies, 209 possess individual wealth of more than 2 billion yuan ($290 million), Shanghai-based luxury magazine publisher the Hurun Report said in a survey.
More than 100 of the wealthy individuals are members of the NPC, and 97 are from the CPPCC.
According to the survey, their cumulative assets tallied “almost 3.5 trillion yuan” ($507 billion) — nearly equivalent to the annual GDP of countries such as Belgium, Sweden or Poland.
The majority of the wealthy delegates were businessmen, rather than politicians who had spent their careers within the party apparatus.
Among them are the heads of internet giants, such as Pony Ma of Tencent and Robin Li of Baidu, smartphone maker Xiaomi’s CEO Lei Jun, and Zong Qinghou, head of soft drink producer Wahaha.
Despite a large-scale anti-corruption campaign launched in 2013 by President Xi to clean up the Communist Party’s ranks, the heads of private businesses remain welcome in the cavernous halls of power as Beijing seeks to rebalance its economy towards domestic consumption and the services sector.
Nevertheless, some wealthy entrepreneurs could be tempted to keep a low profile this year as the Communist Party ups its attacks on real estate “speculators” and “financial crocodiles”.
While Xi has pledged to lift more than 45 million people out of poverty by 2020, his time in office has already been exceptionally good for the country’s wealthiest politicians.
While the economy as a whole has expanded at a rate of under seven percent in recent years, the legislature’s 100 or so dollar billionaires have seen their cumulative wealth jump 64 percent since 2013 when he assumed the presidency, Hurun said.”
[I see that a comment has just appeared here on the apparitions of Mary. I wrote the following three or four days ago, as if in anticipation; I’ll get to the comment later but for now present some of my thoughts on Mary].
Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 19
Christian theology is a rich vein of gold but it needs to be mined and refined. When that process is fully engaged, the intellectual base of the empire will collapse, and its war on Russia will be stopped in its tracks, like the wagons of Napoleon and the tanks of Hitler. Not only that, but the ancient feud between the Romans and Jews will be resolved and healed.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is highly honored in Christian theology. She highlights the pre-eminent place of Womam in nature’s “plan for man.” Mary is the Mother of God, which means she comes before God and is the source of his life. Implied in the title, “Virgin,” is the Virgin Birth; namely, that Mary gave birth to Jesus without the semen of man. There is a profound natural truth behind these mystical doctrines, which calls for understanding, acceptance and inclusion in the development of Christian doctrine as a vital force in the world today.
Most of nature propagates by means of virgin birth: the cells of living creatures divide into daughter cells from mother cells, without male insemination in a process called “parthenogenesis,” literally meaning “virgin birth.” Our own body cells do this before and after male insemination, which in the long eons of time, is a relatively later development, to add variety, vigor and pleasure to the life-base of virgin birth procreation.
The dogma of the virgin birth incorporates this natural base into a central sign, archetype and template of nature’s dictate: womam is prior to and primary in the relation of womam and man, with the latter being in a secondary status and role, as helper and enhancer of womam (and her children). This is the true love system and culture, which we may call “loverarchy,” meaning the lover as the supreme arc, archon, cause, source, principle, being, value, essence and center of existence.
This sacramental (sacred-mental) sign of love, lover and lovers joins womam and man into “one flesh” in the act of intercourse and orgasmic climax and the mixing of their sexual waters. In the present dispensation, both man and womam are important and indispensable for reproduction of the species. However, life itself is not dependent on man, since it is “parthenogenic” in its foundational base.
The Virgin Birth dogma has an important application that spells life and death for the continuance of our species: the choice we make about what kind of a human community we want for ourselves and our children. Love gives us the freedom to choose our own fate, which boils down to “loverarchy” or “patriarchy,” the former being under the “arc” of a Womam Lover and the latter under the rule of a Male Father. Patriarchy means the Father as first cause, principle, source, and etc.
Patriarchy rebelled against and largely overthrew the Love Order, starting about 75,000 years ago, after a 25,000 year period of paradise, using the broad “brush stroke” watershed mark of 100,000 years ago as the full flowering and coming of age chronological marker, with regard to our species on this planet in this present epoch. The reasons behind this rebellion are beyond the scope of this comment, but they are vital to understand if we are to “save our selves” (SOS). We should have learned the lesson by now that men simply do not know how to govern with love and cooperation, but know only how to rule with force, fear, coercion and lies.
The Virgin Birth (parthenogenesis) fact of nature accounts for the universality of the reverence and fascination with the number 3, from the Three Graces to Bro’s number 93, on the positive side and the Three Witches and 9/11’s flight 93 on the negative side. 3 x 3 = 9, 9 + 3 = 12 or 1+ 2 = 3. The Christian Trinity rests on 3 as a Community of 3 Persons in one God. Patriarchy has made them all male but that is a rewrite of the original facts of nature.
Male dominance is the salient fact is of what Patriarchy loves more than anything, and has succeeded in blacking out from our consciousness. The fact is that our original love culture was governed by three womem (again as an archetypal symbol with circumstantial variance), preserved in myths like the Three Graces or Fates, Nine Muses (3 x 3 = 9) and in doctrines like the Trinity, which in patriarchal cultures appear as three males, like Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, or in the tripartite government branches of legislative, executive and judicial.
The more natural trinity is Mother, Father and Child; or the three adult phases of a womam’s life: maiden, mother and matron; but prior to all these variations, is the governance of the small communities of our originating condition, also called bowers, by three mature matrons of the community. As in the Christian Trinity, broadly speaking, the core of the bower was Three in One, three womem in one bower; hearkening back to the parthenogenic foundation and structure of nature.
Patriarchy grew jealous of the love order, and from that envious thought war was born, directed ultimately against Womam, and intermediately against animals, whose slaughter by hunting and killing bulked patriarchal men up with power, which they could use to murder men who stood up for womem, and stood in the way of the new world order of patrix power. We experience the implementing of this plan in our world today.
The world has been tipped upside down by patriarchy, using God as their front man, a false God of Power, falsely sold as the true God. A true Judeo-Christian God of Love will turn the world right side up; however, the maxim holds: “God helps those who help themselves.” In other words, by reason of the dogma of the Incarnation, the genuine God is also us in all our humanity–we “brave few” and God march behind one flag, the true banner of love, leaving the false flags behind in the dust, to be recycled in the fires of regeneration.
Theology is not unlike a cafe soiree, with us sitting around a virtual table with our computers, all around the globe, never forgetting the reality behind virtuality: yes, the flesh and blood component of the central dogma of God, namely his Incarnation, literally “in the flesh and blood” of each one of us, and our immediate community of self, family, friends, acquaintances and fellow and sororal planet dwelling persons.
“Nothing is impossible for God,” not even squaring the circle, as Miles Mathis shows with the Pi=4 equation; that’s just engaging the mind fully–what can we not do by engaging the heart of love? “In the beginning was the Word,” says Saint John; and the word turns out to be a Person in his theology of “God is Love.” Behind all the words are persons, literally “through sonars,” vibrations, sounds, energies, charges, flashes of lightning and enlightenment.
The Greek dramatists used masks, or “persona’s,” through which sonar soundings radiated out to audiences. The same holds true today with all our masks and persona’s. It’s time to take off the masks and see the Darth Vadar’s and Oz Wizards for who they are: “We have met the enemy and it is us.” If there’s any truth to holism or holiness, each person is the whole, and as the Poet sings: “I guess it must be up to me.” What an opportunity; what a responsibility; what a gift of freedom; what a community of lovers and what a vineyard of brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers and sons and daughters.
Love, Dennis
Creative thinking is not promoted in the Chinese educational system:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYGNB3cABUU
From the video: “Universities are a little bit of a joke, to be honest.”
Your thoughts?
I don’t know what Chinese universities are like, but I was very disappointed by attending several Canadian ones – creative thinking is not encouraged there, and they are truly a joke.. Unless you are a professor and getting well paid for the charade.
It wasn’t as it is neither in Japan (the same stupid stereotypes persisted against it until the late 80s, exactly the same !), yet also these outpaced the West with ease in all categories allowed, until Uncle Sam said STOP IT (well not fully true – they found a fine poison, FUNNY money and the Casino, and since then they are dead in the water)…nonetheless China is not storming ahead but instead is using mass and cherry picking this is more than enough to drive the train ! CHINA is not and will never be about the individual, but instead an idea, an old and still very valid idea, you will soon find out yourself…. Btw. Russia for the average western individual is a totally backward country which can hardly produce anything, instead they paint the rust over with paint, non withstanding it’s Universities have topnotch ratings. They won the Programmers World Cup for twelve consecutive years and always have 2-3 Teams in the top ten, same for Workers etc., etc. Well.. and now also build weapons which reduces the Western posture into a whimmering sabbering stupor, as we can now witness daily.
Israeli ex-defense minister says Trumps’s news NSC adviser Bolton was pushing him to strike Iran

A Bolton from the blue…Trump’s scary war hawk advisor is so yesterday’s man
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/03/27/a-bolton-from-the-blue-trumps-scary-war-hawk-advisor-is-so-yesterdays-man/
On the subject of the new U.S. National Security Advisor, John Bolton, I have a general question:
Do we know the background of how he was actually appointed?
Many people casually refer to Bolton as “Trump’s National Security Advisor” and there has been a fair amount of analysis about his hawkish past, his position on Iran, and so forth.
However, I wonder how he was actually chosen. Did Trump himself come up with Bolton’s name? Somehow, I doubt it. Trump doesn’t seem that focused on foreign policy. Did he come up with the short list of names, from which Bolton was selected? Again, it seems rather unlikely. Isn’t that more the kind of task some underlings of the National Security Staff (NSS) would do?
My hypothesis here is that the choice of Bolton may have been steered by people around Trump. Since Trump himself has taken more of a hands-off approach to foreign policy, this would be relatively easy. The short list would have been drawn up by people in the NSS, and then Bolton could be talked up such that he becomes the “logical” choice. Trump has to choose somebody, but he didn’t draw up the menu.
Flynn was ousted because he seemed to become a liability for Trump. (I would agree with the Saker’s analysis that that was a mistake on Trump’s part, insofar as it showed he wasn’t willing to stand by members of his inner cabinet.) McMaster “clashed” with Trump over Russiagate, and there was neocon pressure that he was “insufficiently supportive of Israel and not tough enough on Iran”, as the NYT put it. This created an opportunity for another “you’re fired” moment and a new National Security Advisor.
But again, was this because Trump himself wanted somebody to take a harder line on Iran, or was it because McMaster, like Flynn, had become a kind of liability for Trump, a note of discord in his attempts to have an “on message” cabinet?
I am not trying to absolve Trump here. Rather, I suspect we are witnessing a change in his cabinet that may have been at least in part orchestrated by those around him, steering US foreign policy in a direction that they want, while Trump himself is focused on different concerns.
What say you, Vineyard friends?
“while Trump himself is focused on different concerns.”
Here’s just one example of that

“Within minutes, Vostrikov’s mother arrived at the Winter Cherry shopping mall and raced to the fourth-floor multiplex, only to find the fire approaching and the door to the auditorium locked.
Vostrikov says that she pleaded with the firefighters to break it open, but they refused, saying they did not have the right equipment, and that there was no one inside.”

Where was the key ?
From https://twitter.com/EnglishRussia1/status/978190332784410624
According to this witness there was a whole class of five graders came to see a movie cartoon to the theater in the mall. Their teacher and chaperones didn’t want to watch it and went shopping, asked the guard to lock the doors so that kids stay inside. Nobody survived.
Good intentions gone wrong.
“We never locked doors in our cinemas, even though we had comments from the guests that (other patrons) often slam doors during a movie session, but we still never locked doors. How did the children find themselves locked in the halls? If only some technical malfunction, because they were automatic , magnetic locks, I have no more versions, “she said.
“On the same day that the fire broke out, I walked around the staff, asked them if they had brought all the guests out. Absolutely everyone answered me: “All were taken out, all are alive.” Nobody told me children were locked in the movie theatres,” continued Nadezhda.
Meanwhile, eyewitnesses say that the same guards held back relatives and friends from entering, in order to try and get their children out. Moreover, a number employees noted that after the false alarms on March 19 and 22, the fire alarm system was completely disconnected. How false were these, or were they intentionally tested to be working in the event of a fire? Who made the decision to switch it off?
https://www.fort-russ.com/2018/03/kemerovo-who-locked-kids-inside-movie-theatres/
What is more disturbing for me, is the timing of this fire, not just because it was Sunday when many people have been there for shoping, coming with buses – entire families with kids – but the timing of the events. The very next day, the US and it’s allies in Europe have decided to expel the Russian diplomats in mass. There were voices of discontent in Russian cities regarding this fire tragedy, some have questioned the efficiency of the system itself, how far they will go ? this is again something which raises some questions : has somebody interest in this, cause the western msm has already came out with the critique against the entire political system, pointing the finger at corruption and of course at Putin. Do you understand now the evil ramifications, and all in March.
A Russian Investigative Committee spokeswoman told journalists that the agency managed to “identify a foreign national who deliberately spread false information about the number of victims of the fire in Kemerovo in an attempt to destabilize the situation in the region.”

Russia holds a nation-wide day of mourning on Wednesday after a deadly fire in a shopping mall in the Siberian city of Kemerovo.
Bodies of all 64 victims of a deadly fire in a shopping mall in the Russian city of Kemerovo have been recovered, there are no more people who are listed as missing, Russian Deputy Emergencies Minister Vladlen Aksyonov said on Wednesday.
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201803281062974075-russia-mourning-day/
MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. A court in Moscow has issued an arrest warrant in absentia for Ukrainian pranker Nikita Kuvikov, who spread false rumors in the Internet about the number of casualties in the Kemerovo shopping and entertainment center fire.
“The court has sustained the investigator’s request for an in absentia arrest warrant for Ukrainian citizen Nikit Kuvikov [nicknamed as pranker Yevgeny Volnov – TASS],” the court’s press service said.
http://tass.com/politics/996567
… so where was the guard, and again, where was the key ?
How is it firemen did not have equipment to break down the doors ?
Why did guards prevent parents from getting near the doors ?
Why was it reported that everyone had been evacuated to safety ?
Why did it take 40 minutes for fireman to get ladders to the roof where people where waiting to be rescued ?
Not one fire extinguisher had ever been seen in this building !
It is my understanding that there were three cinema rooms. One room had unlocked doors and people from that room were saved. Two other cinema rooms were locked. Magnetic card was with employee???, teacher??? who was somewhere else I guess. People in lower floors didn’t know about the fire for quite a while. I can’t imagine police wont investigate everything connected to keys. Why didn’t card holder inform someone, fireman for example, when he/she found out about the fire?
Telephone calls of victims were made after 4pm local time. What were usual working hours on Sunday in this particular mall? Is it possible that mall was open longer on that day because of the holidays and would be closed at that hour during most other Sundays? It would explain a lot if that was the case. What if someone planned to burn the mall as a building to get insurance, bribed whoever was necessary (fireman not to hurry and so on), but forgot to take into account that this Sunday mall was open longer? It is strange that so many were convinced there is no one in the forth floor and that fireman didn’t have the right equipment.
… real firemen … serious firemen will have axes and crowbars at the ready and will be prepared to use their own physical strength, not just standby, obstruct others and gawk.
Of course the “keys” will be investigated if this investigation is serious.
Typical working hours would be 10am to 10 pm 7 days a week. The mall was an old confectionary factory that had been given an “евроремонт” – tarted up to look good, but often using flammable materials. Foam ceiling tiles, foam backed decorative panels. Very similar to the Grenfell fire, cost cutting causes disaster later on.
As to the lack of fire extinguishers mentioned by Павел – welcome to Russia! The quality of the Fire Service has gone down badly since they were transferred from МВД to МЧС.
Scroll down the photos on English Russia for some pretty typical fire escapes https://twitter.com/EnglishRussia1
You then understand why the death toll was so high.
NOVO-OGARYOVO, March 28. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded on Wednesday that the investigation’s conclusions on the deadly fire at the Winter Cherry shopping mall in Kemerovo be made regardless of the suspects’ posts.
“Importantly, it should be clear for everyone that the investigation will make conclusions proceeding from the norms of law and regardless of the posts of any persons complicit in this tragedy,” Putin said during his meeting with Investigative Committee Head Alexander Bastrykin and Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova.
Putin stressed the need to answer all arising questions.
“The fire alarm system did not work for a week. Why? It had not been repaired for a week! Why wasn’t it switched on, although the hand gear was workable? Why the doors turned out to be closed? Why combustible materials were used there? There are a lot of questions there,” the Russian president said.
Putin gave instructions to report to him regularly on the investigation of this case.

Curious take on Russia as “digital underworld”:
http://globalintelhub.com/exposed-russia-proxy-digital-underworld/
Came across two interesting items on the strategy of targeted assassinations pursued by Israel and the USA.
1. A documentary film called “The Gatekeepers”. Here it is in French on YouTube though I see it is also available in English (just not for free on YouTube):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpqLC2pcBjk
“ISRAËL: “THE GATEKEEPERS”, DOCUMENTAIRE CHOC
Benjamin Netanyahou a perdu de sa superbe, à 16 jours des législatives, le premier ministre israélien est en perte de vitesse dans les sondages alors qu’il partait grand favori de cette élection. Son principal conseiller de campagne, Arthur Finkelstein, celui-là même qui était le conseiller de Mitt Romney face à Obama a même été rappelé d’urgence pour éviter la catastrophe. C’est dans ce contexte que sort un documentaire choc, “The gatekeepers” (“Israël Confidential”) réalisé par Dror Moreh, déjà primé au festival de Los Angeles. Le reportage de Uri Schneider.”
yandex translation … mod
Benjamin Netanyahu has lost its luster, to 16 days of the general elections, the israeli prime minister is losing momentum in the polls as he left the big favourite in this election. His main advisor of the campaign, Arthur Finkelstein, who was the adviser of Mitt Romney facing Obama has been recalled urgently to prevent the disaster. It is in this context that fate is a documentary shock, “The gatekeepers” (“Israel Confidential”), directed by Dror Moreh, already award-winning festival of Los Angeles. The story of Uri Schneider.”
2. A new book “Rise and Kill First” which is about the history of Mossad and essentially the same thing: Israeli policy of targeted assassination.
https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/209254/rise-and-kill-first-by-ronen-bergman/9781400069712/
There is a review of it in the New York Times book review (surprisingly enough):
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/31/books/review-rise-and-kill-first-israel-assassinations-ronen-bergman.html
@SusieQ Exactly ! In the West they most certainly are the most experienced ones. One has only to look at the rampage during the 18th Century which then neatly evolved during the early 20th (Russian Revolution) and finally the killing spree which led to the founding of Israhell.
But THEY know, get the money first, then KILL ! from top to bottom ! Not, I say NOT the other way around which is so en vogue with wahabbi-dirt and left- and right-wing extremists, a direct and easy way to assert they being animated via remote control.
Another interesting article I came across today is this one in Transcend Media, an offshoot of Johan Glatung’s Peace Institute.
https://www.transcend.org/tms/2018/03/the-geopolitics-of-targeting-russia/
The views expressed are not new to readers of The Saker but it is interesting to see them appearing here too… a few paragraphs:
“The escalation of tensions between the United States, Britain and France, on the one hand, and Russia, on the other, should not surprise anyone. In the last few years, the US leadership and mainstream British media have presented Russia as a major threat to global peace and the international order. Russian president Vladimir Putin in particular has been demonised as a ‘war-monger,’ an ‘aggressor,’ an ‘unscrupulous politician’ hell-bent on restoring Russia’s past glory’ at whatever cost.
….
“With these military technologies, Russia has effectively brought to an end the US reign as the world’s sole military superpower. If Putin had made this his goal, it is not because of any obsession with military supremacy. As he explained, the strengthening of Russia’s military prowess was his country’s response to the unilateral US withdrawal from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty in 2002 engineered by President George Bush Junior and Vice-President Dick Cheney. As a consequence of the withdrawal, the US and NATO began deploying missile systems to encircle Russia, as observed by veteran analyst, William Engdahl. Countries that were once part of the demised Soviet Union and the dismantled Warsaw Pact in Eastern Europe were drawn into the US-NATO orbit either formally or informally. Anti-ballistic missile bases were built in Romania and Poland. The US global missile defence system now includes destroyers and cruisers deployed “in close proximity to Russia’s borders.”
…
“There is yet another recent development that has also contributed towards the exacerbation of tensions between the two sides. It is obvious that the rebels and terrorists in Syria fighting the Assad government backed by the centres of power in the West and supported by their allies in the region have been defeated. The concerted drive to crush the Hezbollah-Syria-Iran triumvirate opposed to Israeli occupation and US hegemony in West Asia has been thwarted. Since Russia played a significant role in the defeat of the US and Israel and their partners, the antagonism towards Putin among the elites in Washington and Tel Aviv in particular has heightened.
“Providing material support to some of the rebels and terrorists holed up in Eastern Ghouta, one of their last few footholds in Syria is a desperate attempt by Washington to ensure that it remains relevant to the emerging post-war political scenario. Highlighting the alleged use of chemical agents by the Syrian Army and the killing of children in government aerial bombardments are tools of propaganda that the Western media have exploited to the hilt in the Syrian war in spite of the effective demolition of some of these lies and half-truths in the past by independent Western journalists themselves reporting and analysing from actual zones of conflict in the country. For Western elites and their media it is not the death of children — after all many children have been killed in Yemen — that is their real concern. It is how Russia has anchored and buttressed its position in Syria and the region as a whole and has challenged American-Israeli hegemony that causes great distress.
…
“If Israel’s hand is behind the Skripal episode, the truth will never be known. Neither Britain nor any of the other Western powers, not even the UN, would want to conduct an honest, independent investigation. All that Washington and its allies want to do is to increase and expand the economic and financial sanctions against Russia — using Skripal as the excuse.
“The aim is clear. It is to compel Moscow to submit to the hegemonic power of the Washington elite. Anyone who has a rudimentary understanding of Russian history knows that this will not happen. Russia will continue to resist. And Russian resistance may well hold the key to a different future for humankind.”

It lightened my mood somewhat to read this.
Thanks for sharing this !
Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 20
That God loves us is the dominant theological teaching, deriving from the deepest human need for absolute security, which God represents since he is Absolute, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Eternal, Uncreated and All-Loving. If that were all, there would be no problem, but God is also Freedom, and that means the liberty to sin and to be evil. God gives love but he also gives fear.
“The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.” To be sure, love and fear are not equal on the grand scale of existence; fear is but a speck in love’s eye, but because we have freedom of choice, the speck can grow into a beam and the beam into a barn. In this day and age, we foolishly try to shut the barn doors when the horses of freedom are long gone. We best forget the barn and go out to where the wild and free horses roam.
“Freedom is not free,” or so the saying goes; in other words, freedom entails responsibility. We know this by rote but rarely note the circumstances of our loss of freedom and responsibility; blinded by fear, we “know not what we do.” In such a case, we must go back to Go, on square number one, without collecting $200.
That starting over place is called the Love Bower, or paradise in theological terms. In our culture, marriage was once held up as the highest of worldly goods, with the implied promise that married sex would be forever ecstatic and fulfilling, “until death do us part.” That romantic promise was rarely delivered, and so marriage became of a business of mutual security and ownership, backed by law and punishment; or dispensed with altogether for the quick fix of going to sex directly without the bothersome business of marriage.
That bargain basement sale has turned out to be a wash: traditionalists hang onto marriage like a life-saver and liberationists throw baby, bathwater and life-saver overboard for…lord knows what. There is an alternative between everything and nothing in the center of the bell curve: it’s called the Love Bower, but the price of admission is adherence to the Love Army’s ten commandments of love; and that army is one strict defender of the Bower’s integrity.
Marriage is designed to control passion, lest it get out of order, and interfere with the Governors’ profits. Christ’s passion was for the Kingdom of Heaven, the patriarchal equivalent of the Love Bower. In the bower, passion was the norm; there were no coupling-up marriages to dampen down ecstatic communal sex. The heat of the night was so intense that it needed four billion years of preparatory development.
Four billion watered down marriages by church and state management cannot hold a candle to a community in love with communal sex. We have no idea of what it was like in our dumbed down condition as patrix slaves; but we can catch traces and glimpses by installing the right kind of radar–namely, the ten commandments of love; at least by opening our minds to the possibility.
Can I love a community of lovers as passionately as one other individual? That is the very thesis that can only be proved by personal experience. We have to be in the Bower to know it, but is that possible? Yes, of course, but to borrow the bible’s metaphor, we have to have proper wedding clothes to enter the communal marriage feast. Jesus’ first recorded miracle was changing water into wine at a marriage feast, upon the advice of his mother. With his passion for the Kingdom of God, we can be quite sure that he had more in mind than one couple; no, he most likely thought of everyone who responded to his wedding invitation.
When I speak of passion, I am not primarily referring to physical sex. Where it is not suppressed, genital sex would take its natural place among many other passions: for children, food, conversation, visiting other bowers far afield, mothers, fathers, trees, water, teachings of the matrons, rituals, play, music, dancing, stories of the ancestors, memories, individual personalities in all their expressions, dreams, inner visions and voices, births and deaths and nature herself; and summed up altogether, it was a passion for the whole community.
There is no reason why someone in a traditional marriage cannot also be part of the larger community of lovers. Developmental theology is very long range project, which we cannot judge by present appearances. And, by the way, please do not judge me as some kind of Love Commander, because I couldn’t command my way out of a paper bag. I am a typist taking dictation through the fog of my own deficiencies–seeing through a “glass darkly,” as Paul put it.
I could be completely wrong, and love can still be completely right. Maybe that’s why I like Donald Trump. He can be completely wrong but in his child-like naivete, be used by love to do what’s right. Dennis is no Donald and Leary is no Lavrov. I’d like to be a Leprechaun rather than a Leprecon and a lepreguard rather than a lepretard. So you see how theology can go from the sublime to the ridiculous in the blink of an Irish colleen’s eye, and oh, oh, oh, in Van Morrison’s song: “she gives me religion.” Now that’s the kind of passion that gets my Irish up.
“She Gives Me Religion” Van Morrison
Down the mystic avenue I walk again
Remembering the days gone by
And I’m knocking with my heart
And all the girls walk by
In all their summer fashions
And the churchbells chime
On a summer Sunday afternoon
She gives me religion
She gives me religion
And the angel of imagination
Opened up my gate
She said “come right in
I saw you knocking with your heart.”
Love, Dennis
“Maybe that’s why I like Donald Trump”
Ah, potus, potentially, at the end of humanity.
I was going to lambaste you again but, on second thoughts, maybe that is the best outcome and you are right all along.
Who knows.
Armchair Cafe Theology (ACT) Part 21
This week in the Love Calendar’s solar year is the fourteenth, starting from the darkest day in North, December 21st. In the West, this happens to be Holy Week, according to the Moon’s way of reckoning. The theme is Heroine, with the polarities of Hope and Dope. The Tarot card is The Chariot, showing the Hero/Heroine in a chariot of solid stone, with a canopy of stars, being pulled by black and white sphinxes; another version of Joseph Campbell’s Journey of the Hero.
In brief, the Hero/ine is an ambiguous Womam/Man, holding a masculine rod of power, with a star crown, crescent moons on her shoulders, a square on his chest, a winged golden ball and rod piercing a ring as heraldry adorning the front of the chariot. The (Hero)ine stands in the center, rooted in the granite of earth to her genitals, and her head in the starry heavens, between the extremes of black and white, with the City of Man in the background.
“Swing low, sweet chariot.” Each person has her own interpretation of this condensed sign; I’ll give you mine. The Heroine awakens in me; my Anima integrates Hope and Dope, black and white, heaven and hell, Loverarchy and Patriarchy, Womam and Man; not in equal measure but according to the priorities of Nature; frankly put: Womam first and Man and woman second.
From the full text for this week, I select two poems for consideration: a long one originally formatted in a stream of consciousness flow, all run together without paragraphs, justified in a square container. For ease of reading, it’s been made linear. The theme of Heroine and the poles of Hope and Dope are in capitals. There’s a play on heroin and dope, within free association of words. The short poem of 21 lines gives another perspective.
Hope and Dope are subtle in(sin)uations: I am doped by fear, ignorance, hubris, ego, doubt, jealously, faithlessness and all the other seven deadly sins and capital offenses. Hope without virtuous actions is a deceptive defense mechanism. The Heroine is one aspect of The Lover, a symbolic archetype of Love and all of us as Lovers.
“The seven of time is the Heroine of Hope
One of the characters to help us cope
From Muhammed Ali with his rope a dope
To the robed and sceptered Catholic pope
If we can’t make it, we think they can
Heroes and Heroines are part of the plan
We are all Heroine to some degree
Dying like Jesus upon a tree
The path of a Heroine is a lonely road
She has the job of carrying everyone’s load
I think twice before starting that path
About being the stock of everyone’s laugh
But I don’t see how to avoid that choice
Not if I’m going to follow my consciousness voice
Most of the Heroes turn out to have feet of clay
They are just part of this consciousness play
They serve a useful purpose here on this earth
To teach us all what we are worth
It’s not a mistake to follow the stars
The ones in the movies and behind the bars
As long as I remember that I’m a star too
Shining in the heavens right beside you
My Heroes and Heroines are in ordinary life
Those who hold steady through worry and strife
Those who set out to break the ice
Are neither naughty, nasty nor nice
They’re ordinary people following their dreams
And walking around the hollowing schemes
I’m a Heroine in my own eyes
Riding the sun in my inner skies
A true Heroine is called a Dope
Many are hanged with a knotted rope
Would be Heroines are usually co-opted
Caught in the racks until dropped dead
The Dope of this world is deadly malicious
While sold on the shelves as bedly delicious
I’ll be a Hero if I can live on love’s Dope
The nectar of love is no false lover’s Hope
My only real Hero is the love of my heart
She’s decked in the beautiful cards of my art
Most of our Heroes are Dopes in disguise
Buyer beware is a word for the wise
I take from these models their pearls of Hope
And leave out oddballs and kernals of Dope
Lover, you’re my Hero
Of the sacred circle zero”
————————
“She tried to tell me how
Everything’s happening now
You walked this way before
On another distant shore
What you did then
You’re doing once again
You have another chance
To join the cosmic dance
Spinning spokes reversing
Future past rehearsing
At the hub hails a view
Ever changing ever new
The Ancient of Days
In the Center stays
Eternal youth
In timeless truth
Faster and higher
On a rising spiral
Slower and lower
In motionless motion
Still the same eternal game”
Love, Dennis

Now in the West the scandal over the American-British targeting firm Cambridge Analytica, which also touches the business of the Internet giant Facebook, is being actively inflated…
The true purpose of this campaign is to distract public attention from the details that emerged during the scandal of the dirty information and psychological operations that Washington and London have been conducting abroad for years using the SCL Group firm – the parent structure of Cambridge Analytica.
Moreover, these operations were carried out, in addition to all the rest, in Ukraine and Donbass using British taxpayer money…

In fact, we know the name of the pilot, who was most propably at least one of the Ukrainian air force pilots, who were behind triggering their weapons against the Malaysian airliner that day. Unfortunately, the main suspect Vladislav Voloshin “was silenced” just a few weeks ago in March 2018″

Salisbury Incident …

Slide 4 shows flags (geopolitics) attributing false claims.
Documented proof of deception and insanity !
Doubt that relations can be mended after this.
I have noticed that for the past few days, the talking heads no longer mention just the Salisbury incident — they all, all of a sudden, started rattling off a whole long list of Putin’s “bad behaviors.” Late at night I sometimes watch or listen to several newsy programs over the public TV (PBS) — BBC and some other foreign news orgs — and they are in lockstep with ABC, NBC, and CBS. I don’t have cable or satellite service, just rabbit ears, so I never can see what CNN and FoxNews are saying, but I assume that the same scripts are being passed out now to all of them.
When shopping I nearly always have some politics to pass the time of day with people as the weather is always hot and so weather conversation is usually short and annoying anyway to be reminded of. As I present the good side of Russia it is interesting to see people’s eyes roll and then I let them speak, and it goes like this …
“Well there must be something in it or why would so many countries be against Russia”.
Sadly in Australia we get the American News channels and people are watching this garbage as they eat breakfast and begin their day with a daily dose of brainwashing.
It can be extremely lonely being among such people … strange … strangers we greet daily !
The Western World has become a Dysfunctional Society due to fake news … lies … insults … etc.
LaRouche in 2009 speech loosens up a tight audience (several centuries of mind control do not make people very to grasp irony, the heart and soul of humor) getting tighter and tigher as he lays out the centuries old, deeply imbedded issues of Empire and oligarchy incapacitating the brains of billions of persons:
“Why don’t we just bomb London and get it over with??”
https://youtu.be/5Zl2FBvZm9o
Of course the humor bomb was (is!!) intended to blow up blockages of mind control preventing an audience much, much more informed than your average audience….from thinking and acting on the level the crisis then required.
It is relevant today, of course, because the crisis has intensified X 10 at least.
Many are more freed up to think and act than they were in 2009.
However some cannot even laugh at themselves and the irony that they have been flat wrong about a lot of things: Like the proposition that we all go back to micro-communities of 150 persons or less, while pro-creating freely (but no industry, no technological progress, NO CITIES…) with our sexual partner of the hour…….and somehow (HOW??) avoid a holocaust of mass death!
.I will however support a limited geographical civic restriction of dogs in certain places with too much area in cobblestones and pavement…lacking open ground and grass….such as Florence…..dog poo everywhere….if your eyes are in your camera’s viewfinder honing in on statues of Dante Alighieri or Brunellesci’s dome of the Cathedral of Santa Maria De la Fiore …watch out below! Chances are your shoes will stink for days.). The increased price of the pet license might pay for more washing of the city’s hard foot surfaces. Just a thought.
The same sort of messy, stinky error (now I am pivoting to a balancing…in the Dog Wars) ) is a hazard when persons just make up shit willy nilly that pleases their egos, with little thought to the disastrous consequences that would result from situations such as 8 billion persons attemtping or being forced to exist in small “love” ( a curious term for extermination!) communities of less than 150 persons each.and spread that slippery nonsense all over Vineyards. I don’t know about the vine rows. Just not in the pathways, please.
Or the Tasting Room Cafe.
More humor in my coffee, please. And more attention to what IS positive about the United States…..in contrast to the Empire it used to resist considerably more in the late 18th century and the 19th century than in 2009.
The good news, is that the resistance IS increasing. Still too slowly, but it is picking up speed.
Here one in particular seems determined to pull hard on the parking brake and put things into reverse by copying and pasting large segments of text that make him feel good, but are full of error….and himself!
Instead of seeing the clear opportunity to blow up London, the Heart of the Empire’s occult powers of mind control that incapacitate Americans such as him from taking any effective action….such as eliminating self error….solipsism, for starters…then working lovingly on bringing 8 billion persons into a better future…that CAN work…….instead of a mythical past that never existed THEN (it could never have been defended. DUH!) and can certainly never exist going forward, except in among the deluded that need to go from realizing they could be wrong to knowing that they have been wrong.
There’s the crux of real, positive revolution in consciousness in the microcosm (individual) that the macrocosm (Civilization….including billions in larger villages, towns and cities…..that also love to visit the countryside!) cries out for!
Movie Time …
The Outer Limits (1990s TV Series) – Vanishing Act
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-9pOLbxkkg
The Outer Limits is a Canadian-American television series that originally aired on Showtime, the Sci Fi Channel and in syndication between 1995 and 2002. The series is a revival of the original The Outer Limits series that aired from 1963-65. Distinct from The Twilight Zone in that the stories were science fiction based only and not fantasy/science fiction as was the case with The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits is an anthology of distinct story episodes, sometimes with a plot twist at the end. The revival series maintained an anthology format, but occasionally featured recurring story elements that were often tied together during season-finale clip shows. Over the course of the series, 154 episodes were aired.
Report from the belly of the Beast:
Sacramento, the big city 30 miles south of where I live and the capital of California, is facing a potential riot during the funeral for a young man shot in the dark during a hot pursuit by police officers.
The irony of this situation is that he was reported breaking into cars and his death has resulted in grief and shock in a city where police will not come out even to make a report after your house has been burglarized–“Call your insurance company” is their response.
The city of LA abolished “hot pursuit” by car after there were so many innocent bystanders killed during these events. Academics published grave studies warning about the berserker type frenzies that the pursuers would enter making a calm denouement to such scenarios unlikely.
And of course, no one talks about community control of the police especially in Black communities. ( the Black Panthers circa 1960’s discovered the ruling class answer to their “well organized militias” of the 2nd Ammendment) After all, it is the people living in the community who most stand to lose from a corrupt, ineffective or brutal police force. But no, it is a Police Union and a City Manager which will determine the outcome of this sad scenario. Let us see if the doctrine of hot pursuit is taken from the playbook.
And by the way, crouching behind a bush in the dark with your arm up holding your cell phone ( he was probably trying to video record his arrest) in landscape mode, makes you look like you are holding a gun.
Russian Election and the Nominally Jewish:
“A big part of Russian educated classes has some Jewish ancestry: after all, the Soviet Jews freely intermarried with the ethnic Russians for the last hundred years, with majority marrying outside of the community. Children of mixed marriages usually identified themselves as Russians; those who identified themselves as Jewish left for Israel. There they learned that the Jews do not consider them being members of the Chosen People, and many of them trekked back to Russia, cured of their illusions. However, Jewishness or otherwise of the candidates hasn’t been played up much in the course of the elections.”
from 1 of 3 new articles by Israel Shamir (Russian jew, converted to Orhtodoxy…who looks like a Semitic person Arab, Jew or Otherwise, unlike the Khazarian “Jews”. They joined the Tribe…but “semitic??? No.) that I am trying to catch up with.

Over 2,700 fire safety violations found in Russian shopping malls. Nearly 800 shopping malls have been inspected. The commonly found violations were disorderly evacuation routes, the usage of combustible materials, the lack of fire safety instructions and poor knowledge of fire safety rules by the personnel, as well as inactive fire extinguishers and alarm systems.
We Know that the Country of Syria was at one time a French Colony.
We have seen how France and Germany Allege that they want a Peaceful Settlement of the Western Engineered War with the Purpose of regime change in Syria, https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2018/4/15/germany-and-france-push-for-new-syria-peace-effort .
Germany has said that they do Not want the Syrian President to be part of the Solution for Syria, and France wants the same thing, even if they may not admit that at https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-mideast-crisis-syria-germany/assad-cannot-be-part-of-syria-solution-german-minister-idUKKBN1HN0S0 .
The Reason that Nazi Colonialist France and Nazi Colonialist England used Germany to say what they are Wary of saying, is because it is Obvious Colonialist Language, and England and France are Colonialist Countries.
It Could be because of the Brexit Talks, where Germany has been ‘promised’ a Special Deal from England who have Tricked Germany on Several Occasions, rather than for Germany to look to the European Union, and to set up Markets in the East for some of its Goods and Services, and the other European Union Countries Should be considered, and Not only France and Germany.
Colonialist France Remembers that Syria was a former Colony of France, and wants to Puppetize Syria, and the question of who is the Government of Syria is Entirely the Decision of the Syrian People.
This is because Foreigners should Not try to Influence Groups to say that they have support from their Countries, either for or against any group, as to who the Government of another Country should be, because that is Entirely a matter for the Citizens of that Country.
For Foreigners to Interfere in this way, then it only encourages certain groups that they support to try military methods to try to Usurp Power, if they Cannot win an Election.
In a Democracy, then Any Eligible Citizen has the Right to Contest that Election.
This means that, in a Democracy, then it is up to the Voters of that Country to Decide who will Serve their Country.
