Moveable Feast Cafe 2018/11/11 … Open Thread

@ ioan and Kent … two supportive Cafe acquaintances … please send me your mailing address via my msn account, which you can find on my website, and you will receive a complimentary copy of ‘Raising Stone 1’
(haitheory.com)
Let us invigorate The Cafe with some non-fake Egyptology, … some serious critical thinking, … sober comments and some appropriate illustrative art …
and my work includes the translating of Ezekiel Chapter 1 which is going to test people’s cognitive dissonance, but I’m prepared for a lively debate, come what may … all reality based on my side.
My translation of Ezekiel Chapter 1 can be studied on my website, as the translation took about a year after the publication of “Raising Stone 1”.
Ezekiel’s “wheels within wheels”, from memory and then finding and reading and understanding “Their rims were high and awesome and all four rims had eyes all around”, triggered me to fully translate Ezekiel … Ezekiel is a book included in The Old Testament of The Holy Bible, the religious book of the “Western World”. I urge all to read this as it is a real historical account of the Great Pyramid at Giza, under construction and includes the appearance of Pharaoh Khufu himself standing at the Pyramis’s twenty ton entrance door and addressing the crowd gathered. This is epic ! … and you have discovered this in this Cafe … what a strange world it is !

Is Belarus turning into another Ukraine?
.
From the article below (translated by Google).
.
This is what he said “Lukashenko read the abstracts prepared for him and made explanations. In his speech, he noted that official Minsk is interested in a “strong transatlantic partnership,” saying: “This is the main pillar of our planet, and God forbid, to destroy it. We are confident that the security of the entire continent depends on the cohesion of countries in the region and the preservation of the US military-political role in European affairs. And here we are not exaggerating. Without America, we are here, unfortunately, will not solve a single issue, including the Ukrainian conflict . ”

At the invitation of the leadership of Belarus, a group of experts from the Jamestown Foundation and other analytical structures of the United States arrived in Minsk and held talks with Alexander Lukashenko , as well as the heads of the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Defense and other state structures of the post-Soviet republic.

Joe Biden , Michael Carpenter , an expert of the analytical center “RAND Corporation” Bruce McClintock , president of the Jamestown Foundation Glen Howard and Senior Fellow of the Foundation Vladimir Socor ” , – informs the Foreign Ministry of Belarus.

During a meeting with Foreign Minister of Belarus Vladimir Makei on November 5, “the parties discussed the current state of Belarusian-American relations and the prospects for their development, the situation in the European region and possible areas of interaction with the US analytical community,” the ministry informed.

American experts on anti-Russian special operations took part in a briefing organized by the Minsk Dialogue project, which is under the patronage of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus. The “hybrid wars” expert, recently retired former commander-in-chief of US forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, took part in it . Co-rapporteur was Michael Carpenter, an expert on the elimination of “pro-Russian politicians,” a formerAssistant US Deputy Secretary of Defense; in the recent past, Special Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden on Eurasian politics and an influential employee of the State Department, who showed himself during the destruction of Yugoslavia and relatively recently – during the “August war” of 2008 between Russia and Georgia, as well as during time of preparation and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis. They spoke about the vision of Washington in its geo-strategy of the part of the Union State of Belarus and Russia.

Pavel says in this Cafe:

“The story of the demise of Easter Island is about the squandering of available resources, a sad history lesson to be repeated in our modern world !

I read about that in Jared Diamond’s book “Collapse!”

Greenland Settlements by Norwegians many centuries ago were another example of the same mistakes….which led to starvation and abandonement.of the settlements and some persons unable to secure passage back to Nroway…….while the Inuit moved in from the west and north and prospered…in and on their own terms.

But why repeat sadness, when it IS possible to learn the principles of Natural Law??

Hope by Friedrich Schiller translated by William F. Wertz

All people discuss it and dream on end
Of better days that are coming,
After a golden and prosperous end
They are seen chasing and running
The world grows old and grows young in turn,
Yet doth man for betterment hope eterne.

’Tis hope delivers him into life,
Round the frolicsome boy doth it flutter,
The youth is lured by its magic rife,
It won’t be interred with the elder;
Though he ends in the coffin his weary lope,
Yet upon that coffin he plants—his hope.

It is no empty, fawning deceit,
Begot in the brain of a jester,
Proclaimed aloud in the heart it is:
We are born for that which is better!
And what the innermost voice conveys,
The hoping spirit ne’er that betrays.

I have known William Wertz for many years…..and more hope coming later today…if work does not drain my energy away.

I hope!

Snowden to Khashoggi Murder: I tell you a big story that is not written about – in English
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82VhU0BqxQ

US whistleblower Edward Snowden accused an Israeli cybersecurity corporation at a conference
in Tel Aviv on Wednesday (Nov 7.) that they had sold the surveillance software to Saudi Arabia,
which allowed the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Snowden, who video-connected from an unknown location in Russia at this conference, claimed that
the Israeli company NSO Group had sold software to Saudi Arabia spying on a friend of Khashoggi’s
phone.
He said that the role this company played with their software in Khashoggi’s murder is “one of the most important stories not written about”.
He stressed that it is irrelevant whether this company is now in Israel or elsewhere. Relevant is only that
such software would be sold to “some very bad actors” to violate the human rights of dissidents, opposition
and activists.

Cough, cough air is more breathable here today in California as the holocaust my neighbors are undergoing continues and will probably continue until rain which is promised Nov 22nd.

in the meantime : here is an interesting article about what is basically a Russian sub modified specially for Vietnamese conditions:

https://medium.com/indo-pacific-geomill/vietnamese-navy-kilo-submarines-77ce5dc97b0b

Long ago in a Country I do not know: http://xroads.virginia.edu/~1930s/Radio/TownMeeting/TownMeeting.html

I looked for Town Hall of the Air, a forgotten radio show, when I saw personnel biographies published in a compendium of CIA documents… and so I’d suggest for soporific (at least!) purposes reading “Bay of Pigs Declassified” (Kornbluh, New Press, 1998). Some CIA types were on the show, listed in the text as “superb propagandists” no less!

Seriously, the text gives a window into the nature of US intel personnel and world-view. And it seems to give the foundation for the methods we see today… a foundational text, if one wants to look. Or get to sleep…

…………………………………………
When I see Paul’s arguments I am convinced. I’d add that Modern people do not generally understand the way things really work in construction projects, or the strength of some bronzes, or of real hemp rope, and they underestimate the men who do such work. Suffice it to say that hemp is better than the rope you’re probably familiar with – astonishingly strong and tough. And that “natural” tins and coppers as mined in antiquity sometimes occurred in association with alloying metals…arsenic in the tins from Cornwall, (and Egyptian bronzes used Cornwall tins, I seem to recall, but I’m not sure)..anyway the hard bronzes are plenty stiff and strong – they make great knives, razors, – pretty much any tool can be had in bronze alloys – but these are seldom seen outside of oil tankers and refineries…’spensive! (but they do not make sparks!)

I have a few bronze tools that seem to have fallen into my tool boxes long ago…these are Beryllium alloys of copper, and at normal temperature seem better than modern steels, but Beryllium is bad for us, so some caution is a good idea…

Further, good spirited competitions – as the 4 sided stepped design permits 4 simultaneous teams seems to offer, would (in my opinion) pop into existence. And a bit more, I’d bet that “plucking” the hoist lines in their resonant cycle timed together with the rhythms of ho-heave-ho would also tend to exploit the sinusoidal cam-pulley – as crews became coordinated by experience. The dressing or fouling of slack lines is a point, but wrights deal with matters like that every day…it’s under the rubric of “rigging” – and a job best left to…”riggers”! (all the atta-boys don’t matter when you drop a load). One more thought – hemp rope is easy to splice…and experts can do it fast. So a fubar with lines isn’t that big a deal…one can cut and splice as needed, though it’s a fix. Modern rigging is not so forgiving…alas! (But I’ve been shown (and done) what they call in the oil patch “texas chokers” in wire-rope to fix a mistake) Men lose sleep over planning the next days picks and jobs, ciphering out the critical paths, the crews, the sequences – but these guys had years to get it right…and they did.

WSWS has a fair spin on the California fires: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/11/14/fire-n14.html
Some personal stories…

Me myself? I have often been in Paradise Ca, and it was obviously going to disappear in a fire-storm. That’s a fact. It is also a fact that the Town Governments made laws and rules (zoning and permits and so on) that created the critical situation. One pretty much was prohibited from mitigating the hazards, by rules, regulation, and so forth. It was a town, built on a foothill ridge, under pine trees – and a forested settlement. It took years to create the necessary situation, and then of course the good fellows didn’t even try to warn people when it happened… Well, why should they? It was obvious…. (why? ’cause it was their job!, and they did not do it).

Of course there’s no electric power to pump water anyway, since the utility turned it off as soon as the system arced and started the fire….

Typical…terminal case of the phuxin dumb-xss, as a now gone boss of mine used to say

We have a friend who may yet come to stay, as the fire is close to her digs…and she cannot deal with a fire by herself, especially without electric power…

When we lived in those back hills we made our own power…which was troublesome, but at least we controlled the system….we also kept 10,000 gallons of water in stucco’d tanks…

We have heard Commentators saying that Britain is wanting to become a Vassal Puppet Colony of the European Union, because of the Brexit negotiations, and that Britain was Deceived into becoming a Puppet Colony of the European Union.

The Confirmed Principle of Intelligence is to Very Rarely believe Britain, which is Greater England on Anything that England says, and Perhaps those Commentators are Correct, but I offer an alternate possibility of looking at the Brexit negotiations, which Could be the Secret English way of understanding Brexit.

The English Know that the European Union is more than Likely going to Collapse, because the European Union is a Nazi Organization, with lipstick on a Pig, and All Nazi Organizations eventually Collapse, because Nazism does that to itself every time, even though Nazism does Not want in any way to do that to itself, and Examples of this are the Nazi Policies of the European Union towards Serbia and its Province of Kosovo, and its Nazi Policies against Ukraine, which include its Economic sanctions against Russia.

It is those Economic sanctions against Russia and the East that is the Reason Why England can be an apparently Secret ‘Puppet’ Colony of the European Union, because they Know that they have Deceived the European Union to do this to themselves.

England wants to have the Status of a Puppet Colony of the European Union, in order to be there as a De Facto European Union for the New Anglo American Dominated European Union after the Franco German dominated European Union or Fourth Reich has Collapsed, because of Incompetence and Corruption, which are hallmarks of Nazism.

There Could be some People who think that England used Paid Foreigners to Deceive the Germans to take those Migrants with Germany hoping to send them to Britain as Revenge for WW 2.

However, the English Knew of this, because they Devised it, and so they Engineered what they Claimed to be an unintended Brexit, and they Allege that they ‘unexpectedly’ Voted for Brexit, which England Always intended for it to be Brexit in Name Only, even though it was said that Brexit means Brexit.

Regardless of the Lies and the Acting of the so called remain camp, All that Anglo America needs from the European Union at this stage is Brexit in Name Only, or an ambiguous waffle of an ‘agreement’ which the European Union thinks is what they also should want.

England wants or needs this Brexit in Name Only in order to be Considered to be a Country for Europe to Rally around and assume to be part of the Leadership Group of Continental Europe with the help of France and Spain, so that England can keep Gibraltar.

England is Also doing this because of Ireland, and where Ireland can join the New Anglo American Dominated European Union, where America will pay More of the Costs of NATO Countries, and America wants Spain, to let it build a Military Base in Gibraltar to complement the current English Military Base in Gibraltar.

There are Many People who Know that England was Responsible for WW 2 in Europe, and England was Also Responsible for WW 2 in Asia, because England would Not allow Japan, to Trade with Asia, and Japan Depended upon Trade with Asia to function, and Japan broke that Economic Blockade with War against the English Empire, and England Tricked Japan to Attack Pearl Harbour, because England Wanted America to help them with WW 2, and England had Slyly Schemed to use its Puppets to Wrongly Slander Russia for Geopolitical Reasons and England gave it the name of the Great Game, to somehow implicate that Russia was Scheming those Evil things, but Russia is Not interested in that, except Reluctantly for Humanitarian Reasons such as places like Crimea and Georgia and Syria, and Many Russians Believed that England’s Ally of certain Jewish Bankers Funded the Communist Revolution in Russia, because England Knew that it Would be a Secret Puppet Soviet Union for England’s Next War against its European Enemy of Germany, and that Statement does Not insinuate Racism or anything against Ordinary Jewish People, but it merely States the Obvious, of where the Leaders of Movements have Ethnicities, and can commit Crimes, because they have Alliances at http://was-stalin-a-rothschild.blogspot.com/ , and Stalin was Responsible for the Unnecessary Famine in Ukraine to Blame Russia for that for a time when they wanted Ukraine to become a Puppet of Anglo America at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Game and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor .

I do Not know anything regarding Joseph Stalin’s ancestry, but Perhaps some Historians have Researched that, and Solved that aspect ofStalin, and how it may have Influenced History.

What we can be Certain of, is that saying regarding History that History would be Interesting if only most of it were true.

However, Most European Countries are Aware of the Long History of Evil Schemes, Lies, and Trickery and Dirty Deeds of England and of America.

I think that certain Commentators may be Very Easily be Correct regarding England’s motives behind Brexit, but England has had Leaders who are Good Lies and Actors, and so I provided an alternative opinion to what may be behind England’s reasons for the Brexit negotiations.
