It is a week that began with three squares, but also a very fine meeting of Venus and Jupiter.
Contradictions are to be united in forms that provide space for both sides.

There seems to be a growing story about Deutsche Bank, Danske Bank, Estonia, and Trump on large money laundering. All being pushed by a “whistleblower,” Bill Browder. I’m sure browder’s motives are pure and in complete support of law and order but of course, the Magnetski Act being pushed across the border might have something to do with it.
Browder as a whistleblower against money laundering somehow does not strike one as 100% awesome.

Actually, and for Trump all this “Venezuelan adventure” can end badly , epecially if it does not end as he would like. On quite already legitimate grounds, Democrats can remove him from power and put him on trial.and…In his place, I would have just impaled the rat who advised him this shit, BCS he won’t be able to do it later
The intolerant Soros/DNC and the Fake Stream Media are getting destroyed over their untrue MAGA hat story. And, this story will live on for some time yet. The FSM cannot kill it.

On IDF airstrikes
on Jan 20th. ZeroHedge reported about an IDF aitstrike on Damascus International airport.
It’s the first time that Israel has ever announced strikes against Iran inside Syria and in real time. Moments after a massive wave of rockets were fired on Damascus, activating Syrian anti-air defenses Sunday night, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced: “We have started striking Iranian Quds targets in Syrian territory. We warn the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli forces or territory.”
Again, the rockets were launched fron IDF F16 fron the Mediterranean approaching from the RADAR shadow provided by then mountains.
“The Syrian air defense system was activated and the majority of the rockets had been intercepted and shot down.”
From reading this report I gain the impression tha the Syrian/Russian air defense system in inadequate at this time. None of the IDF air craft were shot down and whatever warning was received came to late for a full defense.
Given the local geography and the military weekness of Lebanon these intrusions will continue until two or three gaps in the early warning system are closed.
a) An S300 System must be installed at the coast on Lebanon to provide early warning of IDF aircraft takingoff an flying N to approach from behind the mountains.
b) as a stopgap one or two AWCAS type aircraft must be on permanent patrol over Syria at the border to Lebanon ‘looking down’ onto the sea.
c) The S440 at Khmeiminm must be fully integrated into the Syrian early warning system.
d) whatever RADAR or other electronic assets Israel maintains on the Golan Highs has to be destroyed in one massiv attack. After all the Syrian Armed Forced attacking their ‘own territory’
A retaliatory attack on on or two IDF airbases if successful will be interpreted by the guarantor nation as an ‘unprovoked attack’ against a peaceful nation and be seen as a casus belly.
It could be that the Syrians/Russians a still studying the EW capabilities of the IDF aircraft. As I have suggested at a different occasion the downing of an IDF F15 or F16 or one of the American ‘wunderwaffen’ F22 or F35 the latter regardles of the markings would once and for a long time cement who’s gear is superior.
Ceterum autem censeo Israel esse delendam.
There is a much easier and less expensive solution.
The IDF is attacking Iranian al-Quds and Iranian al-Hezbollah forces. Iran is using Syrians as Human Shields for Iranian forces and those Syrians are dying.
Assad orders Iranian forces out of Syria:
— Israel will stop attacking Iranian targets in Syria
— Innocent Syrians will no longer die shielding Iranian troops
And, Iran cannot afford to stay. Their economy continue to plummet like Venezuela’s.
https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2019/01/10/iran-enters-deep-recession-admits-27-unemployment/
You seem to quickly forget who armed, fed and nursed ISIS and who gained the most from the chaos.
Iran knows very well its enemies. It would be foolish on their part to leave.
Putin once said keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
Mao Tse-Tung said occupiers always want a short war. He said he would give them a long, drawn-out one instead. Israelis for the most part have more than one passport. Other Middle-Easterners don’t. Occupiers always have a choice to up and leave. The natives for the most part do not.
The bulk of those who gained from the instability have lost power or have other needs:
— Trump replaced Globalist Obama/Clinton. He wants out of Syria and any halfway decent Kurds/Assad deal will allow him to dump the neoConDNC objectors.
— MBS replaced the prior Saudi regime.
— EU Globalist Merkel & Macron are ineffectual lame ducks.
— Erdogan wants regime change in Syria. However, his bigger concern is being culled from NATO. He has to maintain opportunities to buy Russian military equipment, which freezes him out of regime change.
— Israel can live with a Russian influenced Syria, and their stated red-line is Iranian offensive forces. That position has been so publicized they cannot change it at this point.
Short-term, There really is no upside for Iranian funded troops to remain in Syria. Putin and Assad’s best shot at finishing off ISIS is the freedom of action they would gain by not having to worry about accidentally coming under fire due to Iran-Israel engagements.
Long-term, admittedly there are weaknesses. If MBS falls or Erdogan becomes completely unhinged, perhaps Iran will need to come back. But those are potential and slower developing scenarios that do not demand an immediate presence.
Meanwhile the Israelis have built a strategic partnership with Greece and Cyprus, probably the Lebanese have got a hint on that also. Israel and Egypt have a special relationship too, collaborating on security matters, how deep is that relationship who knows. The same Egypt is balancing between the regional and world powers just to keep the status-quo alive as long as possible. Israel has a special relationship with Russia and a continuum with USA in military, security and overall policy as well, with Saudi-Arabia in the same equation. Only Turkey looks different now but who can tell what are Erdogan plans ? he may play both cards, US and Russia or four cards, which include Iran and Saudi-Arabia. So, why should be the Zionists afraid of when bombing at will in Syria ? Any decision against it at the UN Security Council is being vetoed by US. The international law cannot be applied on Israel as it cannot be applied on US and its NATO allies when they interfere in the name of human rights or in “self defense” with sanctions and then bombings. When these entities place themselves above the international law, what can be done ?
As if this state of doing business is not old enough and if there is more time needed to learn the lessons, as if never happened anything wrong, the world is still watching and the powers that may be are still kept with their pants down to knee, not knowing or not willing to do something. Venezuela is the latest in this abomination of law and justice, it will fall sooner or later as did Brasil and Argentina before that. How could Russia help in South and Central America ? or will China do something ? will they invest their money in a country which is doomed to failure, aggravating the economic relationship they have with US ? and China has a lot of money but Russia, what can Russia do, send another bomber plane for a show ? For Russia, there is Ukraine with Lugansk and Donetsk – and that is close enough – could they solve it ? not yet “needs time” they say. It seems to me that in the East everything needs time (at least the Soviet Union was quicker) The Empire is not sleeping, they act as soon as the opportunity opens the door, backed by the large armada of their media Imperium and by the UN Sec. Council’s incapacity to counter such moves by legal act. So the UN has become obsolete de facto.
Once more it looks like the US has pulled off another “regime change”,this one in Venezuela.A person would think since it was obvious what they were doing.It should have been stopped months ago.But,no,just like with Ukraine,the government has stood by doing almost nothing and now it may be too late for them.As soon as the US refused to recognize the government the government should have broken relations with the US and expelled their diplomats (spies). When the speaker of the invalid National Assembly declared himself President and called for a coup against the government .He should have been imprisoned and charged with treason,and his supporters repressed.Any government unwilling to “fight” against US attacks is going to fall.And every single one of them need to understand that.
thank you anonymous. Paul craig Roberts would heartily agree with you
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/01/23/washington-has-appointed-a-president-for-venezuela/
There is no hope. There is no major force in this society opting for constructive change. The Empire is the most destructive one, but expect no positive change from China, Russia or the others. It’s the same consumerism, ressource exploitation and general homo superior as always. I am not sure if many of you realize this, but the biosphere on this planet is on full retreat and will get wiped out save a few hundred tenacious species. Pollutant emissions are through the roof everywhere (though the US military apparatus takes the poisoned cake there).
People debate for political change and religious values, what I dearly miss in all the debates on this site is care for our fellow living beings which are not human. Without them we may not survive. And even if we can, it would be an abysmal existence.
@Darkmoon Yes, I realize it and fully agree with you. It’s as if, as George Carlin once said, “No one knows and no one cares”. An older traveling salesman recently posted a “blurb” about his recent drive across the United States. He remembers when he had to stop every hundred miles to clean the insects off the windshield so he could see the road. On a trip across the United States this past summer, he had no need to clean his windshield the entire trip, as the insect population is rapidly disappearing. Bee keepers are now shipping, at great profit, their hives of bees across the U.S. to farmers who need bees for pollination. Nobody knows and nobody cares. Forests of trees are also dying as a result of climate change. Borer beetles have moved to forests that they couldn’t previously inhabit because of climate change. Nobody knows and nobody cares. The oceans are acidifying with the increased loss of plankton, thus also sea life and O2 levels. No one knows and no one cares. Though I continue to read this site daily, I read no knowledge, or concern about the biosphere’s continuous and rapid destruction which is the real battle mankind and all nations face. That we are presently in the sixth? vast planetary extinction event is being ignored. Few know and few care, as long as there are fast foods available and “stuff” to buy.
I’ve recently seen aerial photos of vast areas of huge methane caused craters in northern Siberia, initially explored and researched by a Russian scientist who has published strident warnings of the consequences of huge methane bursts. Her name escapes me. I doubt if anyone on this site actually cares about probable global extinction. Geopolitics and armchair battle strategies are more fun to discuss, though within a decade will be of no consequence as people begin to face the results of much more severe climate change. Thanks for your realistic and intelligent concern. The best to you!
We are discussing many topics here, as you say “no one knows and no one cares” is not entirely truth, many of us do care, but the whole picture is much more complex and complicated. For instance, take a look around where you live and you’ll see how much people don’t care in their particular life, you’ll see tons of garbage thrown out on the road sides and forests, you’ll see thousands over thousands of tourists who are doing this everywhere on this planet, you’ll se the advertising to consume, everything, on large scale, you’ll see that everybody wants to have a car, thus consuming petrol and contributing to the demand. The entire system is based on profit, including the food industry but you can take them one by one if you look around in your house : water, gas, electricity, furniture, cloths, everything you are used to in a “modern” life. In this way, each of us is contributing to this savage against nature. The majority of people are good to speak out but when it comes to deeds…that’s another question. People always ask : “why just me ? ” putting their finger on others. The fault lies in the system itself but who feeds the system if not the people ? Look at the so-called Greens, they are everywhere, they entered politics with our help, exactly on the purpose of defending the natural life, environment. What happened ? they forgot that, the seats become more comfortable and got the taste of power, turning on gender “freedoms” and immigration issues in the name of human rights, the nature can wait. Political profit is related to economical profit and that means exploitation of resources in a growing pace. The climate change is not a new kid, it has begun few decades ago with fight against pollution. We are still nowhere, cause power must be kept by all players.
Indeed ioan.
As darkmoon says and you confirm, there is no hope. Each time you come back you may know more but the people who surround you will be just as bad as before.
A short story of love and hate.
from The Guardian of The Threshold, by Rudolf Steiner
Scene 6
Felicia :
( …) — A being once did live
Who flew from East to West, as runs the sun.
He flew o’er lands and seas, and from this height
He looked upon the doings of mankind.
He saw how men did one another love,
And, how in hatred they did persecute.
Yet naught could stay this being in his flight,
For love and hatred none the less bring forth
Full many thousand times the same results.
Yet o’er one house — there must the being stay;
For therein dwelt a tired and weary man,
Who pondered on the love of humankind,
And pondered also over human hate.
His contemplations had already graved
Deep furrows on his brow; his hair was white.
And, grieving o’er this man, the being lost
His sun-guide’s leadership, and stayed with him
Within his room e’en when the sun went down.
And when the sun arose again, once more
The being joined the spirit of the sun;
And once again he saw mankind pass through
The cycle of the earth in love and hate.
But when he came, still following the sun,
A second time above that selfsame house,
His gaze did fall upon a dying man.
Barry, an incredibly powerful and moving post. What a pity you aren’t more active here. I’m not sure the situation is beyond hope. I agree that looking to Trump or Putin or whomever as a savior is a waste of time. I believe there are things we can do at the individual level, though. Particularly the rejection of the high consumption, high waste, modern consumer lifestyle. Excessive debt is also a trap that can be avoided. Debt should be paid of as soon as possible and more not taken on. On the societal level, there are some encouraging signs towards localization of production and rejection of globalization. So I, myself, am not completely without hope.
I’ve got some good news for you darkmoon.
Humanity represents just 0.007% of the biosphere.
Most organisms will live and die without knowing we existed.
In burning fossil fuels we have ferrtilised the atmosphere so that the plant kingdom is now 30% more productive than a century ago, producing more food and more oxygen for the animal kingdom.
If you look into the subject in the same depth as you might geopolitics you quickly develop the same cynicism for the climate change industry.
There’s enough in life to worry about and only one life to enjoy..
They want you to feel helpless and dependent. Don’t fall for it.
Be kind and respectful to all beings you interact with and set the example. Thats my advice.
The other day I saved a bee from drowning and I swear seconds later it thanked me in a most obvious way, hovering in front of my face looking and saying something to me.
Now I spend a few minutes every day saving insects from my pool.
This is a remarkbly detailed (and lengthy) article about the terrorism tool to be employed by bolton, et al. It decribes in some detail the MEK in which our astute “leaders” realize the value of a dollar in speaking fees to this odious organization.
It is not possible for me because of time constraints today to dig into this article but I believe it is worthy of a read, simply because the author, whom I respect, has obviously spent a fair amount of time on it.
It is enough for me to see a sentence with bolton and terrorism in it to know that the the us, the world, has a serious problem on its hands. it is hard not to conclude that these “plans” bolton is generating is just pure evil in all of its zionist dimensions: is this kushner, trump, pomp, netenyaaahooo?
I do not like the feeling I am left with after seeing all of this zionist money oriented towards the destruction of a country, Iran, and its civilian population.
https://www.voltairenet.org/article204804.html
italic textAs from 2013, the MEK has been transferred from Iraq to Albania with the support of the United States. A small town has been built for them by Israëli companies. However, on 23 June 2014, Maryam Radjavi, in a long speech given before 80,000 members of the sect and 600 Western personalities, spoke of her satisfaction that Iraq had been conquered by Daesh. We should remember that this victory had been organised with the help of General Ezzat Ibrahim al-Douri, ex-right-hand man for President Saddam Hussein, and as such, protector of the People’s Mujahedin.
John Bolton’s links with the MEK date back to the Bush administration. They were strengthened by his presence – for a price of 40,000 dollars – during their annual meetings at Villepinte (France), in 2010 and 2017. Having become the National Security Advisor, he now unites the jihadists from Daesh and the loyal followers of Maryam Radjavi against their common objective.
The most immediate of the targets of this terrorist alliance should be Iran, with whom Afghanistan shares a long frontier, hard to defend.
“This is called a catastrophe”: Azarov Poroshenko responded to the statement on the achievement
of macro-financial stabilization in Ukraine
January 23, 2019
Kiev, January 23. Where Ukraine’s President Poroshenko moves is clear to everyone, but where Ukrai-
ne is headed is a big question, said former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov. About this he
wrote in his account on Facebook.
According to Azarov, Poroshenko believes that in 2018 Ukraine managed to ensure macro-financial stabilization and the country’s exit from the risk zone associated with the default. Earlier, the former
head of Ukraine wrote that four years ago Ukraine was “half a step from default and one step away
from a national catastrophe,” but the current government allegedly managed to ensure macro-financial stabilization and the state’s exit from the risk zone. Azarov said Poroshenko to the statement about the achievement of macro-financial stabilization in Ukraine.
“Macrofinance stabilization Poroshenko considers the collapse of the hryvnia from eight hryvnia to the
dollar to 28 hryvnia, the unrestrained rise in prices and tariffs, the complete inability to independently
pay for debts! In fact, in the global economy they call this a catastrophe, ”the ex-premier stressed.
Earlier, Azarov told how Poroshenko is killing industry in the country. Buying trains in the West and
trying to get rid of the entire Soviet legacy, the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, is killing the
country’s industry, explained former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov.
He called the sale a sale of Ukraine, recalling that Kiev “made a big gesture” and bought 175 diesel locomotives in the USA, and now it is going to buy 305 electric locomotives in France, while the plants
in the country are idle.
He noted that the plants were built to provide the Ukrainian railways with locomotives in Soviet times.
However, Kyiv, according to Azarov, “having begun de-communization from monuments and streets,
continues it, destroying all Soviet heritage,” including the industry of Ukraine.
Azarov also listed all the “achievements” of the Kiev regime in five years. According to him, among
the “success” of the authorities in Kiev can be called a civil war, the loss of territory due to the dis-
agreement of residents with the terms of the coup, as well as the annual departure for work of about
nine million Ukrainians.
He recalled that Ukrainians use the tourist visa-free regime with the European Union as a way to go to
work, while 40% of them do not come back and remain illegal in Europe. This, in turn, leads to an
increase in denials of entry.
Azarov recalled that Ukraine in just five years has become the most corrupt country in Europe. Accord-
ing to him, about 60% of citizens today live below the poverty line. At the same time, Ukraine ranks first
in the number of mental patients, in the incidence of tuberculosis, in hepatitis, in the spread of HIV and
AIDS in Europe.
The former prime minister added that the country has become the capital of world sex tourism, and
data from the World Health Organization for 2018 indicate that Ukraine and Belarus share the world’s
first place in alcohol consumption. Also, the state was in first place in the world in child alcoholism,
drug addiction is growing, the number of abortions.
Ukrainian politician reminded that prices for foodstuffs, housing and communal services are steadily
rising, while wages remain the lowest in Europe. The country has become the most impoverished in
Europe. For five years, the number of tourists in the country is reduced, since foreigners are afraid to
enter Ukraine.
Azarov stressed that with all these problems and the growth of public debt in four years from 584 bil-
lion to 2.122 trillion hryvnia, after Maidan 17 thousand Ukrainian officials became millionaires.
The Kiev regime, according to Azarov, hit industry, Ukraine turned into a cemetery of factories. The
army of Ukraine has completely degraded due to the fact that the soldiers are getting drunk and
deserting en masse.
In addition, Azarov called the humiliation of the people the salary of the Prosecutor General of
Ukraine Yuriy Lutsenko of Ukraine. According to the ex-prime minister of Ukraine in January 2018,
the monthly salary of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine amounted to 334 thousand hryvnia
(more than 700 thousand rubles).
“This is about 200 times more than the size of the pension in Ukraine, 100 times more than the wages
of many citizens of Ukraine. Most recently, he spent millions of hryvnias on a gorgeous wedding of his offspring, flew to the Seychelles with his whole family, laid out a dog dance in a chic mansion. Not
blushing, not embarrassed that the overwhelming majority of his compatriots survive in poverty, ”Azarov
wrote on his Facebook page.

Venezuela is a failed socialist experiment.
Now, it is the target for the Hegemon.
This tragedy begins and ends with a system that claims economic justice, but wrapped itself in the python of corruption which squeezed the wealth of the nation worse than the oligarchs did before Chavez. We saw the same in Brazil.
The most noble ideas sink in the quicksand of corruption. Both nations are incredibly rich in mineral resources and plenty of human resources that would have assured their viability if just common sense was applied.
Now, the bus driver-in-charge has to hope the Cubans and Hezbollah can hold the barricades for him.
What is unknown is how fiercely China and Russia will work to help the government survive.
We shall see in the ensuing weeks . . .
And you think the USG hasn’t been involved in deliberately making it worse there?
Why don’t you talk about ‘failed capitalist experiment’ – which is worse?
With socialism/communism, certainly a country can be made bankrupt, but then, people can start from zero.
With capitalism, which by definition cares absolutely nothing for humans and their feelings, people can not only be made bankrupt, but buried in debt multiple times over such that they, and their descendents, would find it impossible to repay the debt and would be enslaved for ever.
Venezuela has a really weak economic system and it’s not just now. It has been like that for decades when Rockeffeller was in charged behind scenes when Perez Jimenez was the president in the 50’s.
What the hegemon did was exploits those weaknesses to make Venezuela economy go to hell. The fact that there’re still lots of people supporting the goverment even when the ecomony situation is really terrible is amazing. I was there during the concentration yesterday with a lot of goverment suppporters.
People are clear of what’s going on and yes there’s a lot of corruption but Chavez influence is still very big. They tried last night with paid criminals to star revolts in some places and people didn’t care for it. Things are in calm today and the country moves along.
And Chavez was most likely poisoned by, or with, cia involvement.
US refuses to withdraw diplomats from Venezuela, vows ‘appropriate action’ if they’re harmed
https://www.rt.com/news/449555-pompeo-us-diplomats-venezuela/
“US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has refused to pull diplomats from Caracas, arguing the government that severed diplomatic ties with the US is not legitimate and threatening ‘appropriate actions’ if anyone is endangered.”
Looks like israel’s trump quisling is planning war against Venezuela. Refusing to remove their regime change garbage…excuse me, “diplomats” from Venezuela, as they are now required to under international law, is the zionazi-gays (trump) setting up a pretext for war. Since now Venezuela has every right to remove them, once they do, the israeli quislings in the white house will use that pretext to initiate aggression against the people of Venezuela.
Hopefully the US embassy will be given the “Noriega treatment.”
And one can safely bet that all the zionazi-gay media who have been fervently pretending to oppose israel’s quisling trump regime, will line up behind him and cheer him and his war against Venezuela.

‘So much for non-meddling’: Russian FM spokeswoman slams West for ‘handpicking’ Venezuela govt

‘Maduro won’t roll over’: US-backed coup in Venezuela could lead to civil war, experts warn
https://www.rt.com/news/449556-venezuela-civil-war-threat/
“Millions of Venezuelans rose out of poverty during the Bolivarian revolution. They are not going to accept the imposition of the US- chosen new president,” Brian Becker from the anti-war ANSWER Coalition told RT, warning that if civil war erupts it will be a “bloodbath.”
“There has been a project which the US government started …. to restore US influence and to promote the most right-wing governments,” Becker explained, noting that Venezuela’s pro-Washington neighbors might be used to fuel the coup in Caracas.
“If the US is now recognizing a fake leader of Guaido, then US courts will try to expropriate the oil reserves of Citgo, the properties of Citgo, which is owned by Venezuela in the United States,” La Riva told RT.
“Maduro will try to protect what he sees as a legitimate constitutional authority. There will be a confrontation. There will be violence,” Jatras noted. “And I would not be at all surprised if covert assets will be used to try to raise the temperature of that violence so then Maduro can be accused of ‘killing innocent peaceful protesters.’ That would warrant even stronger steps taking against Venezuela.”

not done yet watching but frustration with the media is increasing …some violence against reporters but cooler heads in the yellow vests make a point of stopping the physical attacks…….against reporters doing a lousy job …but don’t hold back on the hard polemics….
MSM in France is now called “Merdia” by the Yellow Vest and probably a lot of non-demonstrators ……..a merging of the French word for “shit”….with “media” .

How is the situation in Venezuela especially as it turns into a bloodbath going to be all Russia’s fault?
Oh yes both the head of the armed forces and the head of Russia share the same first name.
It is going to get that dumb and dumber but it is not going to be amusing to the people of Venezuela.
Wake up Homo Stupidensis!
If you collectively lack the morality to survive……maybe the Universe will decide ….you probably….maybe…. shouldn’t:
A concrete example, with a name “Apophis” …is it big enough and close enough for y’all…yet??
“Recently, researchers from the Department of Celestial Mechanics at St. Petersburg State University reported that the 370-meter-wide asteroid Apophis will make several near-Earth passes, in 2029, 2036, and 2068, with the 2029 pass to be only 1/10th the distance from the Earth to the Moon! There are discussions of a mission to attempt diversion, with the U.S. and China to be invited to cooperate. The Russian teams findings will be presented at the Korolev Readings on Cosmonautics to be held in Moscow later this month, according to RT.”
“In light of President Donald Trump’s call for an R&D program for spaced-based anti-missile defense systems based on new technologies, it is important to recall that, with the fall of the Soviet Union, Russia and the U.S. had serious preliminary discussions on collaboration on such research, not only for strategic defense, but also — and more importantly, for a future world at peace — for the Strategic Defense of Earth against the very real threat of asteroids hitting the Earth. This proposal was revived by Russia in 2011, and is key to creating a new win-win strategic dynamic today.
This background is key to understanding the 2011 Russian “Strategic Defense of Earth” proposal to the United States, originally presented by Dmitry Rogozin, then Russia’s Special Envoy to NATO (currently Roscosmos director), and supported by an array of high-level Russian officials—until the Obama-Clinton Ukraine coup killed prospects for positive U.S.-Russian relations.”
https://larouchepac.com/20190123/new-sdi-must-be-sde-strategic-defense-earth
Now I realize that SDI is one of the murkiest, most confused issues EVER.and much of that past (I became aware of it 4 years before Reagan’s March 23, 1983 speech proposing joint US/USSR research to make “nuclear missiles impotent and obsolete” is furiously argued, ridiculed, supported, loved, hated, etc,etc.
What about the Russian SDE proposal.??
How could it take out Really Big Space Rocks like Apophis??
I’m not sure but it is probably worth finding out, Apophis may be telling us.
https://www.rt.com/news/449146-apophis-asteroid-impact-risk-earth/
“The [asteroid’s] approach causes a significant scattering of possible trajectories, among them trajectories indicating convergence in 2051,” the report says. “Further orbital resonance reentries contain a great number (about one hundred) possible collisions between Apophis and the Earth, the most dangerous of them in 2068.”
The mechanics of multibody problems is the subject of classical inquiries in mathematics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problem
While predictions are useful, they are also often not precise until the event gets close in time and proximity.
And the pressure coupling from solar outgassing “wind” varies according to the whims of the driving bodies, mostly the local star.
“Taking out” is the wrong question except to magicians. Change orbit via kinetic force is realistic, ie push or bang into rock with some mass M @ some V. Some cautions advised though, as banging can produce undesired results, results which are also impossible to fully predict…so y’all need several M@V machines ready to launch on intercept, just in case first push/bang yields bad outcome predictions.
The Boffins say that if nothing is done things will probably be ok.
I note that one big rock is usually accompanied by a multitude of small rocks… Blowing a big rock to small bits may be a bad outcome…a push is probably better…so? How? >A low speed explosion nearby and deflect via the expanding gas… Fella don’t wanna make matters worse.
Who…or exactly WHAT,,,buggered the Future on so many levels? A new name for it is Human Compromise.
A mild word for “enslavement”.

Biggest Sting in History, Indictments Growing – with Liz Crokin
She’s more confident about those charges than I am. But she knows a lot more about it than I do, as well.
All I know is that since The Franklin Coverup was published in the 1980s and almost no one cared or wanted to even look in that direction….an enormous increase in consciousness of the problem….and moral resolve to deal with it…compared to decades ago…..has emerged.
“The choice to know (or duck the issue in obedience to NWO profiling of a gutless population…unable to “go there”) will be yours”
Q .
…..yeah “going there” is a big part of that phenomenon…and I don;t think that will be a mistake. I think FAILING to “go there” may prove…..THE fatal mistake.
Here’s a retired detective that was in the nitty gritty of investigating the darkest darkness (against children) for decades:
https://youtu.be/nFGqSaJtYBM
End Human Compromise and 85% of Problems Vanish
This goes back to Cardinal Spellman in Hew York City…many decades ago.
The Rot and Decomposition of Society…is not exactly new. The stench is just becoming so powerful …..that a lot more people are beginning to take notice.
It looks like this is part 2 with The Detective. I just found Part 1…I think it is important in terms of unravelling the Dark Threads that hold the Fabric of Empire of the Mind…..together.
Detective Rothstein was not allowed to do so:The public was 99.9999% in the dark and wished to remain so.
“Every time we were about to do arrests………….”National Security” intervened….and stopped us.”
Today it is quite different. People who would not do a damned thing for decades decide they must after grasping that the Powers and Principalities derive their power from child rape and sacrifice and the compromising of the whole chain of slaves this “old occult tradition of Empire” depends upon..
Like it or not, Trump does have something to do with the change. While perversion in numerous areas of US policy…still persist…admittedly
Deal with it! Or LOSE.”
I wished that Dennis O’Leary had the “Right Stuff”…deep down somewhere to come to terms with and confront this evil in his former church. But he tired and retired, apparently, leaving it to others, confused and worn out and long since not up to the task of crushing the head of the snake.

Inbreeding study reveals why humans don’t have sex with their relatives
https://www.rt.com/uk/405875-incest-humans-sex-family/
Professor Eske Willerslev, fellow at St John’s College, Cambridge, said in a statement: “What this means is that even people in the Upper Paleolithic, who were living in tiny groups, understood the importance of avoiding inbreeding.
“The data that we have suggest that it was being purposely avoided. This means that they must have developed a system for this purpose. If small hunter–gatherer bands were mixing at random, we would see much greater evidence of inbreeding than we have here.”
By comparison, genomic sequencing of a Neanderthal individual from the Altai Mountains who lived about 50,000 years ago indicated inbreeding was not avoided.”
“By comparison, genomic sequencing of a Neanderthal individual from the Altai Mountains who lived about 50,000 years ago indicated inbreeding was not avoided.”
You want proof? Just look at Washington.
Auslander
Friend Auslander, I recall that you keep dogs and are pretty well engaged with them. Thus perhaps you might enjoy these two related essays/letters from boffins. We too keep and engage with doggiefriends.
http://www.unz.com/jthompson/dognitive-ability-in-university-level/
http://www.unz.com/jthompson/going-to-the-dogs-mans-best-friend/
I note that the authors’ point out that the same process runs in people. They don’t put much emphasis on this, but it’s an elephant standing in the room.
This process is obviously both true and entirely “racist” and massively non PC. I am astonished to see what everybody knows and what is forbidden to speak of, that stupid parents tend to produce stupid pups, or children.
These especially are liable to abuse and mischief, unless they’re kept busy with decent activities and jobs…
I found those articles to be very interesting, and something that people familiar and experienced with dogs are likely to find obvious.
Regarding problem-solving potential in animals generally though, I saw an experiment years ago comparing the ability across a variety of species. What was astonishing to me was that wild birds, specifically corvids: Crow, Raven, Rook, were far faster and more accurate at problem-solving than even the smartest of the dogs. The experiment was entirely access-to-food based though, so the trainability-for-work element was absent.
In 2009, in a text about the Polish theatre author Helmut Kajzar, I mentioned a crow I had heard in Berlin’s Tiergarten (a park landscape near the Zoo) making sounds like a woodpecker. Woodpeckers peck wood a. for getting at eatable insects etc and b. for attracting female woodpeckers for fun and reproduction. Crows in Berlin, however, need neither. Thus my interpretation was that the crow had wanted (or rehearsed) to entertain a public – us – with playing a woodpecker without being one, thus fulfilling the/a definition of playing theatre. Helmut Kajzar had been of the opinion that “everthing is theatre” and that in order to see it you just have to open your eyes. I humbly added that sometimes theatre is just audio, and this had been such a case (… and there are more, you just have to open your ears…). And that corvid acted neither on orders, nor for profit (food, work) nor in a necessity of problem solving: Corvus ludens.
Last year I was presented another such audio event: some hundred meters away in the same Tiergarten, and beyond the fence of the Zoo, as one of its visitors, a crow made language exercises in a language not known to me and perhaps not even to herself either, perhaps an invented improved variant of Zulu. I had always hoped for another meeting with that theatre crow, but saw now no possibility to find out whether it was indeed her and not one of her pupils. But it was clear that that crow neither adressed other crows, nor me, it was a clear rehearsal, or a preliminary test: what you can produce with the inbuilt sound apparatus of a crow.
One year ago … just came to my mind, when I looked out of the window and saw the first snow this winter … I was in Serbia, and after mostly benign weather suddenly snow had set in and it was really cold. It was early in the morning and in the yard there were sounds of cats in love. I went outside to have a look and saw two of them: one of our own, an experienced mother cat, and a foreign shy junior, visibly uneasy with her offering herself to him. He seemed not to trust her, nor the situation nor himself, nor perhaps what also I found odd: instead of presenting herself as cats usually do, she offered him the missionar’s position… presumably not too comfortable for a he-cat. Why? Did she in reality want to provoke the human observer? If yes, where did she gather the know-how? In any way it was again a clearly experimental situation.
If animals learn from us not only what they must, but what they find interesting, worth a try, then perhaps we too could learn some tricks from them?

Venezuela – from Vesti News
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vxik1P9Was
Russia considers this to be an illegal coup.
More Russian and China comments.
https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Russia-China-Caution-US-Against-A-Venezuelan-Coup-20190124-0007.html
I have a few questions this morning.
Has Trump kicked off this coup to force internal agreement in his own political hot seat?
Is this a reaction to the US steadily losing ground in the ME? i.e., are they trying out creating chaos somewhere else, closer to their backyard to regain some power somewhere?
My sorry take on this, I wish it were otherwise, is that he has to be seen as a ‘winner’, for his own political survival and because he correctly sees Syria as a bog or quicksand where he cannot win. Hence the pivot to Venezuela, hoping for easier pickings. If Venezuela proves too difficult then an even easier victim will be next.
The problem for the Donald is the torrent of self-serving lies he has to produce to cover himself and maintain some semblance of gravitas in accordance with his position. Eventually even he will believe his own fantasies, it may already be happening, at which point he has lost, whatever subsequently happens that might indicate otherwise. Maintaining a tissue of lies takes so much effort that there is none available for any other necessary business, like seeing what is really happening in front of you.
Just my 2 cents.
Paul Craig Roberts has quite a funny headline: “Washington Has Appointed A President for Venezuela”
http://www.unz.com/proberts/washington-has-appointed-a-president-for-venezuela/
Trudeau and Trump elect Venezuela’s new President;
http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_82875.shtml
Take a look at the photos taken yesterday from the streets of Caracas. No doubt in my mind who the people of Venezuela support.
Yes, agree, Trump needs a victory. However the US has lost every war since Korea, and that’s not yet decided. It does seem that Victory will again elude the Great Champions Of Democracy and Freedom…
Trump, what ever the several desires of a multitude of parties, is in fact a clown act that RF’s the Imperial Agenda, after the female criminal began calling the people “deplorable” there was no alternative candidate. (“RF’s” is a rubric for a crude expression)
The clown act naturally devolves to shape the Clown into a Pharmacos…and even that is liable to fail…”They” will find that they’re unable to load upon the Clown all of Their Crimes…
Since the RU sent those airplanes TU160 to visit, it’s implied that RU will provide assistance if asked. In fact RU will lose authority if it fails to do this…
Trump’s Problem is inescapable and insoluble. His Fate is defined, absent a bolt from the blue.
……………………..
Meantime this is interesting, not least because of who, what audience, is being addressed – US military and veterans…bearing in mind the Southern Tradition of son following fathers to service the matter is designed to create dialogues within military families… > https://www.veteranstoday.com/2019/01/23/the-integrity-initiative-and-the-british-roots-of-the-deep-state/

The Corbett report ‘know your enemy’ was good but then produced an interesting link to an hour long lecture on the ‘Quigley Formula’ but I guess that is preferable to wading through the turgid prose of his doorstopper, ‘Tragedy and Hope.’ There is a cliff notes type version I believe. It is ‘how to build your own cult 101’, of course, essential reading for power-seekers everywhere.
I posted the one on Integrity Initiative and British roots in the previous café, when I found it on the Duran. I’m not sure what effect it will have on discussion in military families, a carrier group or two sailing up the Thames? Would it fit? No worries, HMS Belfast of the Arctic convoys is still on station, just past Tower Bridge, but more a tourist draw now than operational.
I too am unsure about the effect on those southern families, but it’s clear to me that they are the target audience. I have heard that the troops in and from the occupied Southern States are training for urban crowd control and that they are not happy with the implications which they see within the strategy behind the training. That the key backbone NCO families are themselves unsure, so far, is clear. VT site posts idiotic stories next to serious ones…this posting of nonsense is supposed to create the permission for their existence as it make ad hominem easy. Nevertheless two facts seem to coruscate > these families are essential to effectiveness of army and to mutinies. > they are being addressed by members of their own class, mostly commissioned southern officers now retired… addressed with information liable to create mutinous ground. I hear too that these Southern corps speak at home of “UN Troops” being used to control US population. They do not like the idea…
Mutinies have been a feature in every one of the lost Anglo-Atlantic hegemonic wars. They are a natural consequence of the Imperial Policy. But they can be assisted at birth. That’s the import of the VT article, and many others. The Southern Officer Class is “wavering”…that’s my view.
Elsewhere, I see that Russian contractor-soldiers are protecting Madero. This too has implications, such as Russian intent. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-25/russia-sends-security-contractors-venezuela-protect-maduro
Ivan Bear, or as we quip at home “K. G. Bear” and “Mr Chin”, it seems, are not going to permit the coup.
“Left” and “Right” are abused terms that I no longer recognize as bearing semantic value. Those UK cop/finks infiltrating. Such infiltration is generally for the purpose of creating fake or curated “attacks”, and by weakening one party one curates conflict via destabilization. It is part of divide to rule. Further, there is professionalism – cops and fascism are a natural couple in Anglostan. They’re not biting the hand that feeds them…besides, the “left” has pretty girls to seduce while in mufti and undercover disguise.
On the left in Britain, where the term still has some currency, there are old-style leftists like me and there are the more numerous Blairites, centrists who follow the neo-con way of their lost hero. We old lefties have no problem telling the difference. It has a lot to do with the company you keep:

Here is an interesting official British statistic, that explains far more than was obviously intended for its target audience, (Guardian centrists). Graeber is a youngish anthropology professor who is very much a voice/thought leader for some of the younger activists in Britain and covers relevant and interesting subjects:

If I do not recall badly, it was Larchomonter445 commenter who, in the face of US Syrian failure and the coming midterm elections, suggested that the only scenario where Trump could win would be Venezuela, by starting an invasion and following take over….
I recall also tha this commenter has always been a fithfull supporter of Trump and his policies.
I would like to read his opinion on the current coup in the making….I find strange he is so silent….
But it is not only he who is completely silent amongst Trump die-hard supporters, there you have Pat Lang who, at the first moments of the coup, got refuge amongst the books, to then turning all the way to whitewashing slavery!!…( well after all masks are falling at such galloping pace these days that in front of the grossness of all what is happening, why not going out totally nude…??).
Since good ole Pat does not ever stitch without thread, I guess we can translate his silence over this important development for the US as an agreement, the more when we take into account his past on meddling in LatinAmerican internal issues….
In this vein, I guess you can take his post about the “goodness of slavery” as an intend on promoting and sweeting the probably following status of the Venezuelans in case the US coup would be successful….

Venezuela: Defense Minister Padrino, Military’s Top Brass Affirms Loyalty to President Maduro
“General Vladimir Padrino said that the United States and other governments are executing a war against Venezuela.
The military high command of Venezuela ratified Thursday its support for President Nicolas Maduro, whom he recognized as the legitimate president, said the defense minister.
General Vladimir Padrino in a statement from the ministry and in the company of the military leadership said that the United States and other governments are executing a war against Venezuela.
In his message broadcast on official television, Padrino said that they would not recognize “a person” who proclaimed himself head of state referring to opposition lawmaker Juan Gauido.”
https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Venezuela-Defense-Minister-Padrino-Militarys-Top-Brass-Affirms-Loyalty-to-President-Maduro-20190124-0013.html
I hope we do not see meddling from Brazil or even any kind of troop movement.
I read somewhere, I think on Sputnik, that Gauido is self-proclaimed as leader of the National Assembly which itself has been in abeyance, suspended, since 2016 so he has no legitimate claim at all, not that this will trouble the US at this point.
Any excuse will serve right now, desperate times.

This is how the game is played..
This is relevant re South America, from the sidebar posted by Per/Norway, illustrated with a good political cartoon from 1940:
https://off-guardian.org/2019/01/22/guardian-reports-more-good-news-kids-are-dying-in-venezuela/
‘In the old days the US “opened” foreign “gated communities” with gunboats, and admitted that the purpose was commercial interests. At one time or another, over the past 200 years the US has invaded almost every Latin American and Caribbean country; some of them multiple times. US invasions haven’t been for democracy. They have been for commercial reasons, and the source of wealth for those that became elite families.
Today foreign holdouts from the neoliberal Washington Consensus are “opened” by the CIA, Special Forces, mercenaries, terrorists, local collaborators, the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute, and other government-private NGO’s. NGO’s do overtly what the CIA used to do covertly to sow discontent, opposition and violence.
The US uses psychological warfare and propaganda to “open” closed foreign countries. The US uses threats, bribes, political isolation, economic sanctions and the constant reminder that “all options are on the table”. The mainstream media, such as the Guardian, are complicit by keeping up a steady drumbeat of propaganda.
The US always presents its aggression as being out of concern for democracy, human rights, or because the US is being threatened by some small country, like Cuba, Bolivia, or Venezuela. For example, Pompeo just gave a delusional lying speech in Cairo that the US is a force for good, and he praised the bloody military-coup dictator Sisi. Mentioning commercial interests, greedy banks and the military-industrial-complex is considered uncouth, even though it is the truth behind US foreign policy.’
Yep. The AngloAmericans.
In reality “colonials” following an older, more world-wide Imperial Model taught to them from the Imperial Center….in London.
Begotten by the Venetian Party which came from a tradition that worked out the methods (banking, secret intelligence, sea power) a thousand years earlier.
Nothing new or organically “American”.
So Bro, vis a vis this little coup that is playing in Venezuela – who are the anglo-americans?
I think, to Bro, that anything that reflects badly on the US is to be laid firmly at the door of UK. That’s OK, he obviously needs to keep the US image a pure and stainless one even if, logically, that makes it a complete mindless puppet and victim of Britain. Britain has its own heinous crimes, done all by itself under its own steam, which are well-documented.
Perpetual victim—– from experience I can tell you that is not a pleasant place to live, and one that I, personally, would work ceaselessly to change.
That question has to be figured out by Venezuelans before I can get to it, in all probability. Work day and it is hardly simple!
The record of figuring it out in South America is not very good, is it?
About the same as north of the border. With other more serious handicaps from the past…in terms of development, balkanization into weak states, etc.a huge number of “Vende Patrias” whose egos derive from what they could steal and deposit in Miami. etc, etc.
The same Empire Plan for North of the Border….or even Europe ….or Britain itself……once its brawn (military, financial power, etc) is used up for the purposes of the NWO Oligarchy…and .The Cabal Program of mass depopulation of the planet is irreversible…having used the USA to smash all opposition…it will be Utterly “Dispensable”
Various territories are not the main thing, Imperial Tradition & Method is the main thing.
The vitality of Russia, China….and obviously India!!! are not immune from the parasitical process…although they are considerably more resistant than others….not just in physical terms…but in terms of IDENTITY.
But I don’t think it (NWO of 1 billion or less remaining humans) will work worldwide, no matter what the near-term result in Venezuela in the next days and weeks. The rate of awakening is too great.and the promise of a bright future is in reach….if the process strengthens. overall, worldwide…which appears to be the case.
However, although I hope not,….for Venezuelas sake …..in many situations it will likely get much worse…before it gets better.
Advice to Saker devotees
If you can understand Spanish go to RT Español. The speeches shown are different and unlike the report in English they do not edit the speech of the Army general who speaks of defending the bolivarian republic and the socialist revolution. Nor do they skip the speech of the head of one of the constituent assemblies who talks about Cuba and what they had to go through.
The lefties are different in Latin America as they are more classically and not culturally ideological. It Shows in the inclinations of the two staffs.
The best bet is to find some informative twitter feeds.
This is a very important comment to understand: “The lefties are different in Latin America as they are more classically and not culturally ideological.”
Putin called Maduro and offered help to the ‘legitimate goverment’.
Teranam13 is correct that much gets lost in the English translations.
“Putin expresa su apoyo al Gobierno legítimo de Venezuela en una conversación telefónica con Maduro ”
Putin says clearly that this external intervention is destructive and violates all the fundamental norms of international law.
My Spanish is perhaps marginally better than my poor French or childish German…the suggestion that RT/Spanish provides additional material is, I see, valid. I had never checked on RT/S. Indeed yes, Good site. Also on YT.
Moon of Alabama opines that Imperial Conquest of Venezuela – the game today – is doomed to failure…why?
Well, the Army is loyal, the people are loyal, and … > “The U.S. also tried to incite Brazil and Columbia to invade their neighbor. But neither country is capable of doing such. The U.S. itself is also unlikely to invade. At the United Nation Venezuela has Russia’s and China’s support.”
The Spanish language side are probably less infiltrated by the “offguardian” sort of websayanim than the English language side.
National Security Used to Protect Criminals w/ “Jimmy Boots” Rothstein (1of2)

That’s not the one I was looking for but I am pretty sure everything by Jimmy “Boots” Rothstein is worth review in terms of the Long Tradition of Human Compromise and Empire Breaking of the Human Will.
Admiral Forrestal was compromised says Jimmy. And still fought them. Requiring him to be tossed out of the upper stories of a building………..hence “Forretaling” a stubborn will against evil comes into play as a last resort….murder by black ops………while people continue with their lives…unwilling to deal with the darkness.:.

God Help US!

https://journal-neo.org/2019/01/21/what-will-take-the-place-of-america/
It would be impossible for me to expand on this para from this article. The article does cite duff of veterans today but goes on in much more scathing detail (not a fan of veterans today but once in a while may have some relevent commentary, in this case movie on the odious cheney):
The dog and pony show that is US leadership is an ongoing embarrassment for millions of American brought up to believe in excellence. Big talk, never-ending controversy, and mudslinging, and disastrous decisions on a daily basis have made a mockery of freedom and democracy. Trump-Russia, propaganda, and the rewriting history and truth are bigger threats than terrorism. Here’s another brief look at the mayhem from Washington. Here’s some food for those who think.
Investigative genius Gordon Duff wrote recently about the psychopathic killer, former Vice-President Dick Cheney in a piece about the indecency of Washington. Discussing a new film called “V-I-C-E,” which fries Cheney on the spit like a big fat hen, Duff encapsulates what mucky slime our nation’s capital is infested with the following passage:
“Cheney may well have been or well may still be the most powerful leader in America’s history, a history that is rocked with failure upon failure, an end to American power, an end to American honor, such as it is or was, an America whose cohesion at home and reputation around the world may well be irreparable.”
Duff’s scathing commentary of Dick Cheney goes on, and on, clinically dissecting for us the notion that the Washington elites are anything but rogues. But Duff does not go far enough in my opinion. In my view, bums like Dick Cheney walking into the halls of power has less to do with their “butt kissing,” as Duff puts it, and a lot more to do with the real power brokers standing behind. …

I read the Duff piece yesterday, very interesting and acute, so the Phil Butler piece you linked here, which expands on and develops those ideas, is very good indeed.
A worthwhile read for all of us with an interest in Anglo-Americanism, I think.
He also links to a piece on the concept of evil, which I have just skimmed so far (Its a long read) but as it is written in a philosophical, not religious or political tone it makes thinking about the subject less emotionally fraught than it might otherwise be, no matter what the reader’s personal affiliations:
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/concept-evil/
Thanks for link-started to skim but, as you say, it is a long read. Will have to “ponder” a tad more to get more in depth.
On the general subject of evil, it really is difficult to grasp because it is so prevelent across the board. For an average citizen, far removed from the piles of $trillions in wealth, far moved from election fixing, far removed from the assasinations (which seem to be commonplace now), it is not conceivable for me to consider someone sitting down to plot a hit on JFK, a RFK, a MLK, or plot the 911 and all of the coverup detail and obfuscation (airliner into the Pentagon, my a$$), it just goes on and on and on without any consequence and coverups prevail to this day.
Just saying, my naive babble for the day.
Bolton, pomp seem to have lost all sense of reality on this:

If the Venezuelan military won’t accept Guaido as interim president, but instead sees him as a coup plotter, that bodes ill for any chance of a peaceful political transition. Maduro has every incentive to hang on to power, and as long as the military is behind him he has the ability to remain the de facto leader for quite some time. That creates a real danger of a civil war breaking out between the supporters of rival claimants to the presidency, and unless there are major defections to the opposition within the military Maduro and his allies will have the upper hand. The losers in all of this will be the civilian population that has already been suffering from years of economic mismanagement, corruption, and humanitarian crisis. The U.S. and the other governments that have already recognized Guaido as the interim president have not helped matters, and now that they have declared for one side they have rendered themselves useless as mediators. At the very least, these governments should do nothing that might further escalate the crisis. The danger of offering recognition to one side in a dispute like this is that there will then be pressure to back up that recognition with some kind of assistance, and that ends up pulling the U.S. in deeper.
The administration apparently rushed into offering Guaido recognition without thinking through any of the possible consequences of doing so:
Roberta Jacobson, a former assistant secretary of state who oversaw Latin America policy in the Obama administration, called the impasse over the diplomatic rupture untenable.
“I don’t think the administration has thought through all of the consequences of taking action as quickly as it did in recognizing Guaidó,” she said.
If they had, they wouldn’t have put U.S. diplomats in the country at risk by picking a fight with the host government. This is typical of this administration’s recklessness, and it is consistent with the poor judgment of the Venezuela hawks, including Marco Rubio, that pushed for this decision. They should have known that it would not be so easy to remove an entrenched leader and his loyalists, but unfortunately it seems they were simply hoping otherwise:
The military’s pledge of support for Mr. Maduro raised the stakes of a standoff that American officials had hoped would be resolved quickly.
It seems that none of the governments backing Guaido nor the opposition had any concrete plans for gaining the support of the military. Everyone has just been hoping that it will all work out somehow:
Diplomats who back Mr. Guaidó hoped that key members of the armed forces would switch sides following an outpouring of support for Mr. Guaidó on the streets of Venezuela on Wednesday, and pledges of support by several nations in Latin America.
Today’s announcement shows that these hopes were misplaced, and it underscores how irresponsible it was to take sides in an internal dispute.
Venezuela: From what I gather two mass demonstrations are being organised in the major cities. The pro Madero one is Called for Friday and the gringo stooge one for Saturday.
A lost sense of reality for sure. The US voices consider that they have won the coup. I see in the various news that everyone is very happy that Guaido is now president of Venezuela. It is being presented as fact, and yet, it is not fact. Very strange.
Here is the Russian Envoy:
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201901241071791631-venezuela-interim-president-pressure-guaido/
“I was receiving data that suggested Guaido was under severe pressure both on 5 January, when he was elected as head of a new parliament, and on 10 January, when Nicolas Maduro took office [as president of Venezuela] He was forced to take this step. Guaido was really reluctant to do it, but, it seems that he was ultimately overpowered,” Zaemsky pointed out.
People US side just absolutely accept that this coup has merit and it will be good for Venezuela and the US is saving the people of Venezuela. I have not checked other sides like Germans or anyone else.
In the mean time, Pompeo could not get the OAS (Organization of American States) to agree that Guaido is now the new president. They voted that down.
Venezuela in the Latin American setup, is like Syria, in the Middle East.
Take a look at these interviews:
https://twitter.com/EmpireFiles/status/998834055620706304
and this one from the military:
https://twitter.com/futb0livariano/status/1087125667551031297
So now we wait for the dust to settle. But the story that is trending in some circles that Russia flew Maduro out of Venezuela I think is just nonsense. Also, because some Venezuelans agree and some not, does not mean that country is not inherently standing together.

Baltic. History of one occupation
The documentary film is dedicated to events that are still ambiguous in the Baltics. This is a story about
the years that the Baltic countries spent in the Soviet Union, as well as what happened after that. The
heroes of the film tell why in Soviet times Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were considered “a showcase of socialism”, were on a special account with the Soviet leadership and received huge investments. After
the collapse of the Soviet Union and the proclamation of independence in the Baltic countries, much of
the Soviet industrial legacy was lost. What did it lead to? What future awaits the Baltics? What does inte-gration into the European Union give it? Baltic and Russian politicians, deputies, economists, historians
are trying to find answers to the questions posed in the film. The opinion expressed by the deputies of
the European Parliament

The export of so-called Human capital. About two and a half years ago, I was minding my own business reading The Vineyard of the Saker –though I am not entirely sure if the purely hypothetical guardians of Empire would consider such reading “minding one’s business,” and I get a knock on the door, a six foot plus Estonian student selling books.
He was handsome and well spoken, almost like an ambassador of what Donald Rumsfeld called “New Europe.” I explained that I already had too many books. I wished him well and he was on his way. I have also noticed one or two Estonians playing college basketball here in the US.
There are many young people from the Baltics here in London. One young lady from Lithuania sweeps my road every summer and does the best job I’ve ever seen. She also talks to everyone while doing it in order to practice her excellent English, which is how I know that she goes home every winter to continue her university studies in some arcane branch of modern science that is beyond me.
Most of the East Europeans currently working here that I have spoken to, Latvians, Estonians, Poles, etc are just here for the money and opportunity to earn and while large numbers do stay, equally large numbers intend to return to their homes at some point in the future.

2 not bothering to understand that the charge against him is based on a joke he made
3 the people testifying against him are Corsi, a mentally unstable pitiful alcoholic and some radio host whose terrified memory is to be questioned as much as Stone’s more calculated one

Roger Stone, a sacrifice made

Launch an early morning raid
Threaten dog,scaring loved ones

Accuse yourself next make a plea deal
Against others,too, bear false witness
In these ways your honor they steal
Do they think we’re all that witless?
Lawfare waged to shut your mouth
drown your voice with raucous shout
Then to your home lay vicious siege
Until surrendering you bend your knee
And whisper fervently:
“yes Lord Mueller You are my liege. “
THAT only when
H-ll Doth freeze.
Jeez, disappointed that they did not bring in a couple of tanks.
This raid fails at almost every standard of common sense and common decency and would make even the most thuggish third world police force hang its head in shame and embarrassment.

Pretty mild lambast.

Venezuela should not be interfered with in their succeeding or failing and learning and improving, eventually……..and Elliot Abrams is a neocon creep drug running criminal…and that’s how the dumb Reagan base had Bushes shoved down their silly throats.
Conservative but ignorant Americans in the last few decades, upon hearing The General Welfare Clause of the Preamble of the US Constitution without identification of it as such ………were known to react in knee-jerk fashion…..calling it a “socialist” idea.
They had ambitions of “getting ahead”, of course, of all those “welfare cheats” who they imagined were hindering their Darwinian Survival of the Fittest…unaware of how their stupid and simpleminded ideologies were being molded by elites who would late succeed in bankrupting their pensions and government…and export their industries.
But minorities were mind-controlled in similar fashion after the gains of the sixties brought about principally by registered Republican……Martin Luther King……..to shoot themselves in the foot…and self-destruct.
Only way out is to ditch the left-right paradigm of social control by the Luciferian elite that actively engineer BOTH sides……of the Left-Right Divide…….and conquer.
Voltaire addresses https://www.voltairenet.org/article204845.html (so far only in French)
“…Assuming that Juan Guaidó believes he is resolving the crisis and serving his country by proclaiming himself acting president, the opposite is true. Its action will provoke a situation that will be assimilated to a civil war. He or his successors will call for help from their Latin-American brothers. Brazil, Guyana and Colombia will deploy peace forces backed by Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States. The unrest will continue until entire cities are reduced to ruins. It does not matter whether the Venezuelan government is Bolivarian or liberal, whether it is anti or pro US. The goal is not to replace it, but to weaken the state for a long time. This process begins in Venezuela and will continue in other countries of the Caribbean Basin, starting with Nicaragua, until there is no longer any real political power in the whole region.
This situation is crystal clear for many Arabs, who have fallen into the same trap and have all, at one time or another, succumbed. It is not at the moment for Latin Americans.
Of course, it is still possible that the Venezuelans, despite their pride, become aware of the manipulation they are subject to, overcome their divisions, and save their country. …”
As he says, the situation is clear… I would remark that no plan survives first contact with enemy, and that Imperial lusts, being a repeat pattern, are probably cultivating counter strategies. Proof? Syria. In time the Imperial Methods will become increasingly less effective…as we see.
And we see that the ultimate effect naturally devolves to the streets of the Imperium. Shall the Empire smash its own cities? Well, if they continue this way they’re liable to get where they are going…

If American troops will enter, the game is lost: Kedmi called the main task
of the Russian Federation in Venezuela
on January 25, 2019 – at 7:51 pm
Moscow, January 25th. The former head of the Israeli special services “Nativ” Jacov
Kedmi believes that the main task of the Russian Federation in Venezuela is to pre-
vent a US military invasion. Entering the US contingent in Caracas will lead to the
defeat of the Russian Federation in this game.
Kedmi noted that the game “on the world chessboard” is being played in Venezuela.
In order to win in this game, you need to have the fortitude and not to concentrate on past
victories. The expert noted that the scenario of events in Venezuela depends solely on
whether Russia will allow the United States to use force. If the American troops enter, the
game will be lost, the expert concluded.
“If there is a chance of US military intervention, the game is lost. Preventing this is the key
to solving the whole problem” Kedmi said in the program “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov”.
The expert also noted that the important issue remains the presence of power in Venezula
that can take the country out of this catastrophe. So, in Ukraine in 2014, Moscow did not
dare to use force, which led to irreparable consequences. The situation was different in
Cuba, where the Cubans themselves defended themselves from American intervention
and only then turned to the USSR, quotes Kedmi FBA “Economy Today”.
“If there is no leader in the country capable of retaining power, no one will help from the
outside”, Kedmi summed up.
Recall, on Wednesday, the speaker of the Venezuelan Parliament, Juan Guaydo, declared
himself president of the country for the duration of the interim government. The head of the
White House, Donald Trump, declared his support for Guaydo.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called the events taking place in Venezuela the
next roughest interference in the internal affairs of another state. Moscow warned the
United States against military intervention in the affairs of the country, urging to prevent
a catastrophe.

Here’s an example of how a More Mature and Evolved Species inhabiting the Earth might find grounds to stop fighting each other and work towards the revolutionary…almost “unthinkable” LOL…….. notion and practice of
Mutually Assured Survival….as opposed to perpetually manipulated conflict that eventually spells Species Death:

Pause the video on the graphic that soon appears.
Note the frequency, in the lower left corner of the graphic of the meteor explosions over roughly where you live…..in a ten year span of time.
Note on the right side of the graphic the size of the meteor that exploded over Chelyabinsk not long ago….caught in dawn automobile dash cam footage by local drivers…….just behind the tail of the airliner put there for scale.
Next…..the one that left a huge still existent crater in the continental US. Large enough to kill everyone in a large town if it hadn’t landed “in the middle of nowhere”??
And finally the calculated size of the Tonguska, Siberia meteorite. The cruiser is 560 ft long or 169 meters so I would estimate that biggest Meteorite in the graphic as about 120 ft in diameter…or maybe 35 meters across.
Before Chelyabinsk meteor Russian and American and European physicists had met in conferences in the nineties discussing the threat and what could be done about it. Russians came to Los Alamos, Americans went to Russia who were not the Harvard Boys.
And Dmitri Rogozin proposed the SDE……Strategic Defense of the Earth
Now an asteroid 3 times the length of that cruiser “4 football fields Wide” is said to come within 1/10 of the moon’s orbit around earth…..in 1929….and on several subsequent occasions…on approximately ten year intervals for the next half century or so. I forget the name of that rock.
A subtle hint from the Universe, to cut out the bull shit???
And that is only one of many Big Rocks orbiting the sun and crossing the earths orbit that could actually be dealt with by a more intelligent species than one so fascinated and addicted to warring…in stupid perpetuity…on itself.
Bro,
The universe doesn’t do hints, subtle or clumsy, ever. It is a mistake to anthropomorphise everything. Human beings are not the centre of the universe, however they might wish it otherwise:
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/anthropomorphise
Just out of interest, how is your pitch any different from ‘repent, the end is nigh, so do as I tell you if you want to be saved’?
I would really like to hear your justifications, and to hear just what salvation means to you personally, not to some random talking head on youtube.
Larouche teamwork seems to include a multi dimensional approach for mankind’s survival, bypassing planetary annihilation, and empowering change with a knowledge that engenders the possibility of hope and vision for the future, including the arts, economics, politics and sciences.
Asteroids orbit the sun, and when assuming meteorite activity, become earth-hazards, as nuclear activity.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Comet-Shoemaker-Levy-9
This event was “small potatoes” in terms of the conceivable potential: although the bodies were massive the cosmic velocities were quite low, <4 miles per second. Consider the theorised, 30+ mps, for a direct head-on strike.
Of all the celestial signs, comets seem most curious to me, especially since they exhibit such peculiarities. The great comet preceding the Napoleanic invasion of Russia “whined and hissed” in the night sky, for example. Shoemaker-Levy demonstrated the legitimacy of catastrophism as an earth science genre — just at the very time uniformitarianism began to see a more widespread rejection.
Chris k, it may be advisable to make a distinction between the fantastic and what occurs on earth. See Bro 93”s link for full details and global map of these events. The point I raised was with potential strategic solutions to these, and sincere and deepest dedication to envisioning the survival and future of the earth.
Cheers
So why is Huawei really in the US crosshairs?
Here’s what one poster has to say :
“WHY IS THE US DARK STATE SO TERRIFIED OF HUAWEI’S 5G WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY?
The US Dark State, NSA/CIA/Pentagon/MIC/MSM. . . etc has forced every western tech companies to install backdoors and malwares on their equipments, except Huawei. They have tried to force Huawei to install those NSA backdoors and malwares, in 2014, but the company categorically refused.
“The real issue is that nothing has changed since a 2014 report from The Register that Huawei categorically refuses to install NSA backdoors into their hardware to allow unfettered intelligence access to the data that crosses their networks.
All our emails, text messages, phone calls, internet searches, web browsing, library records, . . . etc, are recorded and stored by NSA/CIA’s vast servers farms.
Now, Huawei is not only the leading 5G wireless provider, but it is the only one, so far. The other companies like Nokia and Ericsson are far behind.
5G is going to completely replace 4G and 3G.
What this means is that if the world adopts the Huawei equipments and standards, it will threaten to UNDO the US Dark State’s vast global surveillance network.
This is what terrifies the US Dark State. Their vast Global Surveillance Network is the basis of its power, and tools to enslave mankind.
There is a very good reason, why the American Founding Fathers, enacted every measures, to protect our rights and privacy, so that we will not be controlled and enslaved by the tyranny of totalitarian government, which is already upon us, in the form of US Dark State.”
@Eimear Great to see you here from time to time ! I am thinking on another poem with the cats and rats, you may remember that old one some time ago.
Lapdog ‘junior’ Trudeau and his russophobic FM (descended from a fascist nazi grampa) think by holding on to the ever-weakening Hegemon USA’s apron strings they can grab the Dragon’s tail and swing it with impunity.

Trudeau fires Canada’s ambassador to China amid Huawei controversy
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47015700
“On Tuesday McCallum, a longtime Liberal, was quoted telling a gathering of Chinese-language journalists in Toronto that he thought she had a strong case to fight extradition to the U.S. and listed several arguments he thought could help her with her case.”
-Yes, an empty charge; there is absolutely no case yet since no paperwork was filed to date.
I suspect ex-ambassador McCallum is right and particularly since it is a trumped up sanction law only applicable in the USA and not by any international law. Already violated by Wall Street banksters (hey! Business is business, right?) who incurred huge fines, none of them were rounded up and jailed.
But, of course, oh no, this is not political at all.
Junior, you are out of your depth, there’s no LGBTQIA deflection spin you can put on this one.
RT gets creative-hilariously so. It is understood that RT has to play a balancing game to be allowed to stay in looneylandia. So finally, after some actually good reporting on the substantive issues involved with the Roger Stone case (yes, he is a redbaiting , skunk conservative “operative” but that aside), it composed the article below.
So in this article below he is guilty of no more than “process crimes” and urging people not to speak to the F.B.I. which after what It did with people’s cell phones in the Las Vegas shooting investigation, no one in Looneylandia with a brain cell left in his head will do anyway.
But wait, the true horror of the man awaits at the end of the article. !! The vileness!!! Oh, for sure, lock him UP!!
He threatened another man’s pooch, yes!! Oh the moral turpitude.!!

@Azorka1861 on January 26, 2019 · at 10:36 am EST/EDT > Well done! Good post!
DDR or East Germany is a special case in history. During the cold war was de facto the first line, the main battleground for secret operations, the meeting point of secret services from east and west. Very few here know that the east-German secret services have been much better than their western counterparts. The economy wasn’t so bad at all, nobody was homeless, everybody had a job and the streets were safe at night. What they lost was the propaganda war : the western way of life, that of consumerism. They have it now, together with the trash and fear. Now they realize what they lost as several others in eastern Europe : internal security, national identity, self determination. East Germans felt suddenly under the same category of occupied land, under US yoke.It is not a coincidence that they, the former DDR citizens are now the leading opposition against Merkel political “führung”.
We knew in Britain in the early 90’s about the effectiveness of the East German Security services as Wolff’s second in command (whose name escapes me now) was swiftly snapped up for an ‘advisory role’ in Britain. It was reported at the time but then all trace expunged. It was clear, though, by that lunge to hire an architect of the security in East Germany in which direction we were headed, if it could be sneakily pulled off.
The appointment was a response to the previous decades of social upheaval and unrest that resulted from Maggie Thatcher’s iron fist policies to crush the working class.
Here’s the man : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markus_Wolf
Das Leben der Anderen and similar propaganda began to lose it’s effectiveness when it became obvious that the Imperial Intelligence system made the STASI look like Boy Scouts.
