Trump is rushing to give nuclear weapons to the Saudis:
https://oversight.house.gov/news/press-releases/multiple-whistleblowers-raise-grave-concerns-with-white-house-efforts-to
There were reports of tactical nukes used by Saudis in Yemen. Also Veterans Today has an article on this subject.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2019/02/16/exclusive-stunning-saudi-arabia-and-the-upcoming-secret-nuclear-war/
World is sleep walking into nuclear disaster and chances to stop it is null as general population doesn’t comprehend seriousness of this matter and ruling class lost all rationality.
Nuclear weapons are different now than in the past. More destructive employing super fuze and smaller in their size. Only “good” news is that post radiation is lesser due to fusion efficiency.
Oh My Sweet Latte Cafe!
I am going to post a video clip right now of a representative of the Russian Federation speaking in New Jersey a few days ago, at a conference where he was seated for hours….just to the left of NSA Whistleblower William Binney. Who also speaks at the same conference on the subject of Artificial “Intelligence”. (In quotes for a reason…that Bill Binney himself develops, quite humorously……) :

Prospects For East-West Cooperation: The Russian Federation’s View
I regret that for various reasons I was not able to be at that conference, as I have attended many such in prior decades from @ 1981 through 2000. There hadn’t been any such US National Conferences of the organization that also brought a Chinese Government representative (he speaks earlier in the video above…. ) and others I don’t even know about yet.
I simply cannot allot the time in the past or upcoming 24 hours to preview everything that happened there in Morristown, N.J. last weekend, but I invite Café friends, Protagonists, Semi-antagonists and even 99% antagonists (I am missing Anonymouse, bless his Communist Soul!….not just ioan!) who are curious, friendly, or better yet hostile to most of my comments to pick through the public video record for ammunition to shoot at me with!
JJ might critique (that means positively OR negatively) the remarks of the Gentleman from China.I’ll engage…which I hadn’t the time to do in the just closed Cafe….only answering Dennis O’leary….
One Minion….you can beat me to it, Mate! Find something paranoid and stupid, please!
The (anonymous??) reader of JK Rowling…..sorry never read that author….have NO idea what you mean! LOL …however…..time permitting, I’ll engage you on anything you might spot…… or ignore in the linked video….and I can fairly confidently assure….based on past record…that “Q” will not be mentioned even once, by ANY speaker at said Conference. They have other tasks to concentrate on too intensively to permit time for that….I rather imagine.
There’s a Division of Labor and not everyone has to do everything, now, do they??
I think there is a reason I stalled and stalled over a month on presenting something I thought of writing especially for ioan…but worthy of Café post rather than private email….some intuition about a looming event …and hesitation about having my thoughts in intelligibly communicatable form…quite yet…..and then it occurred February 12…… two days before my birthday and 2 weeks before Ioan wished me a happy birthday…(it’s the thought that counts! “Close” counts in horshoes, hand grenades …AND birthdays…as far as I am concerned…at any rate.) and a few short days after he went missing from the Café and Vineyard.
It is a (bad) game and Dennis is not Irish.
Having said that, unless you get a major property mogul upgrade your beloved elite will soon starve you too just as sure as you were in the middle of the Potato Famine.

Well, I am Irish, born and bred. And there never was a ‘potato famine’, if you believe that horseshit, then you are part of the problem. It was pure and simple, Genocide. If you know any real history, you know that seed potatos were shipped each year from the Americas to Ireland? Right? Wrong! During then, right up to the Easter Peace Accords, no frieght was ever shipped to Ireland without first docking in England. That’s right, all ocean fareing freight went to England first, then whatever was destined for Ireland was shipped after(whenever they had time). All the ‘blighted’ seed stock was shipped to Ireland, kinda like givin’ an Injun, a TB infected blanket. Look at the manifests from the English cargo ships lined up 3 abreast and 6 deep in Cork Harbour all during 1844, 1845, 1846, 1847. They were loaded with Irish bread, Irish meat, Irish cerial, Irish milk, Irish butter, Irish cattle (pigs, chickens, beef) all shipped to England to fatten the Crown`s minion bastards. Shamed by the Quakers,( yeah, they fed more starving Irish than the English government) the Brits sent to ships full of cattle corn to Ireland to stave of the ‘famine’. Anyone know how much nutrition there is for humans in cattle corn? Zero, nadda, zilch. That made the situation far worse for the starving, who only ate potatos, hell we Irish loved them so much we had them for breakfast, lunch and supper, heck we even nibbled on them late at night for a wee snack. Potato famine my arse!
Come on, c’mon me Irish Brethern!
Don’t be fightin’ amongst yourselves like Empire Brainwashed Nincompoops!
And I resemble your remark about Father……er…Brother O’Leary.
If you won’t admit the pure -blooded immigrants from Eire to other lands (Who, like Dennis’ PURE IRISH forebearers…. had to survive British Genocide one way or the other, mind you!) as “Irish Brothers…you’re surely diminishing yourselves if not into Extinction…then surely into Insular Disconnected Stupidity!
Oh, guys, Binney (Irish???? I dunno!) has some great humor with the Russian guy about halfway through his short presentation on INTELLIGENCE.
Why dontcha lighten up now, lads, and have a look!
A bit of laughter might get ye in better condition for Empire Fightin’ just ahead!
Ah, when Irish Eyes Are Smilin’
https://youtu.be/o-tJwnMRCDA
When Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, ’tis like the morning Spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
When Irish hearts are happy
All the world seems bright and gay
What when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure, they steal your heart away
For your smile is a part
Of the love in your heart
And it makes even sunshine more bright
Like the linnet’s sweet song
Crooning all the day long
Comes your laughter and light
For the springtime of life
Is the sweetest of all
And there’s ne’er a real care or regret
And while springtime is ours
Throughout all of youth’s hours
Let us smile each chance we get
” It was pure and simple, Genocide”
Agree 100%.

“I am Irish, born and bred.”
I was born and and have continuously lived in Ireland too.
As far as breeding goes, I thank god that i’m not among the vast majority of the population who support the right wing DUP / Fine Gael / Fianna Fáil “triopoly”. Just like the right-wing DEM/GOP duality in the US, the Irish turkey’s are lining themselves up for xmas.
No Anonymouse, that’s just an unfounded emotion that has nothing to do with reality.
Try to get over these unhappy, unsmiling bitter states of mind you seem to unproductively spend so much time stewing in.
It smacks much more of the NAZI exclusionist, supremacist (supreme class victimhood of a leftist pose??) mentality than the saner, more balanced view of the few Germans that I have been acquainted with, including a small number of them here that might improve your balance of spirit and mind, if you would just stop seething with resentment long enough to observe what they and others from both on and OFF your homeland have to offer.
Every land area has some of that. I think it is possible to be Russian and American. Why not Irish and American?
Isn’t it possible to be more than one thing?
Save your breath. I know it is. The Citizen of the World concept. Give it a try!

Thanks, Bro, for your kind comments here and at the last cafe. I also hope ioan is well. During my abstention from blogging, I mellowed and learned a few lessons on humility. I wish I had more wisdom at 79 years young. And yes, I am 100% Irish with a dash of English from Dickens, according to my brother’s ancestry blood study. I lived in Ireland for a year. My future in blogging is uncertain, since I feel so inadequate with the adults in the room. Oh well, there is always poetry as a consolation. The real world frightens me. “I was older then; I’m younger than that now.” Carpe diem, my friend.
Dennis … your Cafe posts from Ojai, California inspired me to study the area.
I remember when you were in a hurry to leave your home (to the fire) you had misplaced your mobile home GM truck keys … but found them just in time amid raging fires.
Such an experience combined with injustice certainly impacted your mental health.
Now you have returned to Sakers’s Cafe, a free copy of my book is yours … email me your address via my msn email or gmail found on my website … search “haitheory”.
Particularly, and all in due course I would like to hear your opinion of Ezekiel Chapter 1 after studying the book and working through my translation.
Dennis, at the very least please accept my offer and donate the book to your local library, thereby doing me a favour.
Thanks for the book offer. I visited your website. Ezekiel and the Giza questions are intriguing. I couldn’t find a way to contact you on the website. I prefer mechanical explanations if they are reasonable to more mystical speculations.

email sent. If doesn’t arrive, let me know.
Dennis,
you are as Irish as the US bro blow-in from Hitler’s (UKUS sponsored) Germany.
No matter how many Hail Mary’s and contrite sauce taken in absentia you are still American.
Jaysus, where is Martin just when the oranguturd tag team re-establishes (looking forward to the poetry though).
Thanks for the reminder. Yes, I am American.
I’m glad you showed up again here. I missed you. I have mostly lurked here with a very occasional comment. I believe that you think very well and you are very courteous.
Now perhaps ioan is taking care of his mum or something like that. May the most high be merciful to them. And you.
Thanks for your kindness; it is felt and appreciated.

From the link-do not underestimate the stupidity of the us govt:
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/02/will-u-s-actively-pursue-regime-change-iran.html
“Yves here. I would not underestimate the stupidity of the US, given that our strategy in Venezuela, and potentially in Iran, seems to be based on the same fallacy as our invasion of Iraq: “They will welcome us with flowers.” And John Bolton seems even more than most neocons to enjoy breaking things just for the hell of it. One thing that have kept our confrontation with Iran from getting more stupid is that Iran has made very clear that it can and will torch Saudi Arabia if attacked, and with all that above-ground oil equipment, that would not be hard. The other is the that government appears to have done a good job of attending to the needs of the public despite the sanctions. I am told by people who visited that the markets had a lot of food, people are well dressed, the streets are tidy, women are well educated and have a lot of freedom, and the country had put a lot of emphasis on scientific and technological development. The impression I have from a recent visitor (who travelled around freely) was that there was a high degree of social cohesion despite or maybe due to the US”
________________________
Then, there is this, which to me is much more dangerous in that the clowns may attempt to draw an Al Qaeda link into the equation; this to me, expands the stupidity but may given them more options to apply the threats. And with nitenyaaahooo, it is not possible to apply limits on stupidity, e.g. his diagrams before the UN.
___________________
“It may all seem ham-handed, especially since much of the world is not playing along, but as Foreign Policy warns, this all sounds like the run-up to the war in Iraq in 2003. Indeed, the Trump administration may be scouring for ways to link Iran to Al Qaeda so that it can use the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). In other words, Trump officials are trying to find a way to legalize a war without having to turn to Congress.”
Never underestimate the power of the fiction that the us government is anything more then the mask behind actors acting (act both in the sense of doing and putting on a show).
If it ever comes to linking Al Qaeda to Iran or Venezuela for that matter, we can expect the neo-libs and the fake progressives blank them to be on board. Maybe Rep Omar will protest, but she’s an anti anyways. (In the aftermath she will be vindicated and Kageri-Coudehoeven looking up smiling in hell.)
Also, how do we know that some kind of a deal hasn’t already been struck, “You go along with us on this one, and your little Muller problem will vanish.”
Update from North America
On the Canadian Navy Twitter feed, there is a report of an incident on the Canadian Naval Replenishment Unit, Asterix, off the coast of Hawaii. A hard landing by a Cyclone helicopter. No injuries. I think the RCNavy is in Hawaii to do some joint submarine detection training with the US Navy. The Russian MOD reported recently successfully tested their Poseidon unmanned underwater vehicle.

@ Dr NG Maroudas Yes, indeed, (about those subs) it seems that on the superficial level Germany is “guilt-tripped” into supplying infernal machines to the zionish project of MI6, “Israel”, which, since Law is based on long-established Custom, is also legally, now, a State – something of a duality that reminds me of Schrödinger’s cat – it can be seen either way. Blick ein> intelop/MI6…Blick zwei > Israeli State…blickblickblick…
(States come and go…Hawaii was one, so was Yugoslavia…but at the moment Israel is, IMHO, a State. Some States last a long time, Persia, China, Russia, and a few others we could name…others not so much…)
However, no German manufacturer would obey unless the money and more were forcing this – one assumes that the subs are, in real-politik terms, the product of a deep intelop. Blackmail, and whatever else it takes. Business is business, guilt never matters except when it’s used to manipulate for consent by the masses. But Force, Grey, Black, or White force, matters a lot.

A Brit on RT today remarked in re VVP speech, and the statement by VVP that sovereignty for Russia is essential while not essential for others. She blew it, and missed the point…which is? Well, (I think) that VVP was implying that the European States occupied by US forces are (obviously) not Sovereign States, but Satraps with essentially Quisling administrations. Well-phrased, I thought. Also true. This ties back to the German nukes and the good-buddy submarine deal…and more, no doubt.

Merkel’s Attempt to Break U.S. Sanctions Fails
Merkel and Macron have been trying to set-up a Special Purpose Vehicle [SPV] to break U.S. sanctions for months. They finally rolled it out as INSTEX and Iran is one if the first countries to denounce it. (1)
Even if the financial transactions could be fully disguised, the movement of supertankers full of oil is easily traceable. The U.S. can mete out punishment for the physical handover of the oil, so no major European firms were willing to sign up.
________
Has Russia Launched Aggresion Against Venezuela?
At least if you are the part of the crowd that believes financial restrictions equal aggresion.
Russian lender Gazprombank has decided to freeze the accounts of Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA and halted transactions with the firm (2)
Even if you don’t believe that Sanctions = Aggresion, this shows that Russia’s support for Venezuela has limits. Putin is not going to take a huge financial loss trying to salvage the Maduro administration.
The most Russia will do is head off any physical intervention. That plus the cost of Bush’s Iraq folly should allow Trump to rebuff NeoCon attempts in that direction.

Venezuela’s PDVSA denies reports on Gazprombank ‘freezing’ company’s accounts
According to PDVSA, the attack on the company was “orchestrated by representatives of the right wing and by American media”
CARACAS, February 18. /TASS/. The Venezuelan state-owned oil company PDVSA (Petroleos de Venezuela) has denied Sunday reports that the Russian Gazprombank had decided to freeze its accounts.
This is according to the statement the company published on its Twitter account.
“PDVSA categorically denies a new attempt to disrupt the work of our oil industry with false news,” the statement said.
According to PDVSA, the attack on the company was “orchestrated by representatives of the right wing and by American media.”

The Vietnam war was often a horrendous experience for Americans. The soldiers lacked a clear sense of what the war was about–why are we here? In the field–“in country” there seemed to be no secure places–the enemy was everywhere. It seemed to some like a moral quagmire.
Lack of public support for the war intensified as evidence of the full awfulness of the war effort mounted. In March of 1968 an American unit was patrolling the village of My Lai in Central Vietnam. They had suffered recent losses, were frustrated by their inability to find the enemy and anxious for revenge. They rounded up unarmed women, children, and elderly civilians, raped the women, then opened fire. The killed over 300 Vietnamese civilians, mostly women and children: Private Paul Meadlo recalled:
We huddled them up. We made them squat down…I poured about four clips [several hundred bullets] into the group…the mothers were hugging their children…well we kept right on firing. They was waving their arms and begging…I still dream about it. About the women and children in my sleep. Some days, some nights, I can’t even sleep.
Under the command of Lieutenant William Calley, the soldiers of Charlie Company took a break for lunch, then went back to killing and burning. They were finally stopped by two American two soldiers from an airborne helicopter division, who threatened to turn their helicopter’s guns on them if they shot another woman or child. The Army did its best to cover the incident up. The two men who stopped the massacre were threatened, and the Australian newspaper which published the first stories was sued. Eventually, thanks to the efforts of journalist Seymour Hersch, the story became public news. In a trial that captured national attention, Calley was court-martialed and sentenced to three years. (The two men who stopped the massacre were given medals by the army in 1998, on the 30th anniversary of the massacre.) By the time of the My Lai incident, public protest against the war was exceeding protest on just about any issue since the Civil War.

The Vietnam War and the Tragedy of Containment

… and a sad song …
John Fogerty “I Saw it on TV”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwhxeaVfk3s
( “Blow-back” … is South America about to experience an epiphany of South American Unity … unprecedented ? )
The “flaw” that led to Seymour knowing about it was that drafted men were there. A professional army of mercs would have kept it secret. One draftee witness wrote home, as I recall…
A drafted army was and is , from the evil side of the matter, is not very useful, as they retain moral compass.
Some of the detail that Paul quotes do not, in my memory, align exactly, with the story I knew, but that doesn’t seem to matter.
What seems significant about ML is that between it (and many similar fubars and crimes) made a drafted army a “liability”. Combined with domestic resistance it became impossible to continue the state of occupation of VN. The draft and occupation war are not compatible over time – this is the lesson of VN and ML.
Of course the Imperial Forces are no longer drafted, thus the problem is solved. For the moment.
Draftees v Volunteers, still a bit of a problem when the volunteers retain some thinking and speaking apparatus, which is why everyone is looking towards AI and robotics as the next big thing. But there really is no salvation there either, for human beings, no matter how much we might wish it. We are painting ourselves into a corner with this type of thinking.
My Lai was just one of scores such massacres committed by the Thanatopians, their ROK stooges and the ‘South Vietnamese’ death-squad puppet regime. All US wars are genocides-it’s traditional.

The stream is dynamic and dynamics play into “blow-back”.

President Putin rarely issues a specific International warning, but on Venezuela he has done so.

The One that Makes my Heart Sing
the one that makes my heart sing
has a bearing I can’t describe –
yet understand, and want
to follow to the ends of the earth,
to the end of my days!
the one that makes my heart sing
has a way about him
I can’t quite put my finger on –
he sets my mind at ease
and my fears to rest
the one that makes my heart sing
knows the secret of the stars,
of the radiant sun and moon –
yet points out that God is found
in small acts of loving kindness
the one that makes my heart sing
sees the good in everyone –
he awakens the love within knowing
that only love is capable of bursting
our fetters of ignorance
the one that makes my heart sing
sings a song just under his breath –
he says it’s a song older than the mountains
and the song the soul sang
before the beginning or end of time
the one that makes my heart sing
is everywhere and in everything that I love –
I see him in the grace of my daughters
hear him in my wife’s laughter,
he is my father’s indomitable will
the one that makes my heart sing
regards me through the eyes of
my seven year old son –
how could life possibly be anything
more than this?
the one that makes my heart sing
has a look I cannot place –
he is the spirit of water and of fire,
knowing that both are necessary for
the purification of soul
when I steal a glance at
the one who makes my heart sing –
I forget everything I was doing, and want
to follow to the ends of the earth,
to the end of days!
the one that makes my heart sing
knows the secret of the stars,
the radiant sun and moon –
yet speaks of the importance of
small acts of loving kindness
Reminds me of Michelangelo, the creation of Adam, and da Vinci’s St Ann and John the Baptist, where the hand points to something inexpressible, an indication of a mystery.
There is great stillness in the poem and these paintings.
I counted over ten new articles to read here in just two days, perhaps the idea is to keep minds busy and buzzing, like bees in the spring time …

Messiaen wrote a quartet called ‘the end of time’, clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, a bit hypnotic, repetitive and long, one wishes the end of time would hurry up a bit..

There is also this; “Till the End of Time” by Stephan Micus; for Table Harp, Zither, Kortholt, Guitar
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLsX0WEZ4l0
A meditative, uplifting piece by a unique musician; contains two longer pieces ( this vid. contains the first )
The whole idea of “before the beginning or end of time”, refers to that which is not only older, but that which outlasts time. Since the song/mantra/word in question is “HU”, pronounced like the word “hue”, we truly do have a way to get above or beyond time, through the singing of that mantra, here, now – we do not have to wait till the end of time itself. The HU acts directly upon the Soul body ( the one who makes my heart sing ), opening all possibilities. As Christ said, “it is not I doing these works, but the Father within me…” He was speaking from the viewpoint of the Soul body, specifically the Christ conciousness, not Jesus the man.
The HU is non-denominational btw. so Christians, Muslims, anyone can use it as an adjunct to their normal devotional/spiritual practices.
“two hands, one pointing upwards, and one downwards, the artist who knows and gazes upwards towards light.”
Daevid was enacting a visual correlative to “as above, so below”, or “on earth as in heaven”, ie; that which we contemplate ( inwardly through the imagination ) comes about outwardly. In looking for the right image, it didn’t strike me until later that we’d hit upon Leonardo’s famous pose.
Trump’s Demagoguery Goes Off the Rails
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/02/20/trump-demagoguery-goes-off-rails.html
“It may seem oxymoronic, but President Trump is living proof that lunatics can think big. Not content with “only” threatening regime change in Venezuela, the American leader is expanding his mission to rid the Western hemisphere of socialism, with Cuba and Nicaragua next in line for US “salvation”.
In a particularly unhinged speech last weekend in Miami, Florida, Trump declared Venezuelan President Nicolas Madura a “Cuban puppet” and “failed dictator”. Trump denounced socialism with a verve that has not been heard from a US president since the depth of the Cold War more than 30 years ago.
The Miami Herald reported Trump’s speech as a “harbinger” for regime change in the three Latin American countries.
Trump’s claim of “democracy being reborn” is a bit hard to take at a time when this president is declaring state-of-emergency powers at home to push through his faltering border wall “vanity project”. Dozens of US states are suing Trump for “presidential over-reach of executive powers”. Constitutional scholars are warning of an incipient shift to fascism under Trump.
The criminality of the occupant in the American White House is astounding. The brazen threat of aggression against another nation – as well as implicitly against Cuba and Nicaragua – is on par with the fascism of the 1930s leading up to World War II.”
I wonder if there are any rails… Consider this
“…language that has never been heard before from an American president. It comes close to that of another Trump favorite, Philippine President Duterte, whose police death squads have slaughtered thousands of residents of working class slums, claiming they are “drug dealers.”
When such comments are made in the Rose Garden, there should be no mistake: The United States is teetering on the brink of dictatorship. There is a colossal disparity between the seriousness and urgency of this danger and the complacency of the response by the Democrats and the media….”

And, more importantly:
“The Democrats, who have worked relentlessly to promote the military and intelligence agencies in their factional conflict with Trump, are far more concerned about preventing any mobilization of the working class against Trump’s authoritarian measures than they are concerned about their tactical differences with the White House.”

PATRICK LAWRENCE: Pompeo, Pence & the Alienation of Europe
https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/19/patrick-lawrence-pompeo-pence-the-alienation-of-europe/
“What a job Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did in Europe last week. If the objective was to worsen an already critical trans–Atlantic rift and further isolate the U.S., they could not have returned to Washington with a better result.
We might have to mark down this foray as among the clumsiest and most abject foreign policy failures since President Donald Trump took office two years ago.
It is hard to imagine how an American administration can prove time and again so out of step with 21stcentury realities.”
That likud arrogance never fails to unimpress. The chihuahuas yap away, but the caravan moves on.

Pussy John Bolton and His Codpiece Mustache: Examining the Freak Show
https://fredoneverything.org/pussy-john-bolton-and-his-codpiece-mustache-examining-the-freak-show/
“Start with the head cheese, Donald Trump, profoundly ignorant, narcissistic, a real-estate con man who danced just out of reach of the law.
Well-documented biographies describe his behavior in detail, but his supporters don’t read them. The following is a bit long, but worth reading. (see the link, trump’s fixation with getting revenge – vt)
All that because (if she exists) she declined to engage in corruption for the Donald. That is your President. A draft dodger, a pampered rich kid, and Ivy brat (Penn, Wharton). This increasingly is a pattern at the top: Ivy, money, no military service.
This same Pussy John (bolton), unwilling to risk his valuable being in a war he could have attended, now wants war with Iran, Venezuela, Russia, Syria, and Afghanistan. In these wars millions would die while he waggled his silly lip broom in the West Wing. His truculence is pathological and dangerous.
How very brave of him. He apparently feels sadistic delight at starving Venezuelans, inciting civil war, and ruining the lives of millions who have done nothing wrong. Whence the weird hostility of this empty jockstrap, the lack of humanity? Forgot his Midiol? Venezuela of course has done nothing to the US and couldn’t if it wanted to. America under the Freak Show is destroying another country simply because it doesn’t meekly obey. While PJ gloats.
Another rich kid and Yalie (bush, jr.), none too bright, amoral as the rest, another draft dodger, (he hid in the Air National Guard.) who got to the White House on daddy’s name recognition. Not having the balls to fight in his own war, he presided over the destruction of Iraq and the killing of hundreds of thousands, for no reason. (Except oil, Israel, and Empire. Collectively, these amount to no reason.)
Think of Gina waterboarding some guy, or standing around and getting off on it. You don’t torture people unless you like it. The guy is tied down, coughing, choking, screaming, begging, desperate, drowning, and Gina pours…more water. The poor bastard vomits, chokes. Gina adds a little more water….
What kind of woman would do this? Well, Gina’s kind obviously. Does she then run off to her office and lock the door for half an hour? Maybe it starts early. One imagines her as a little girl, playing with her dolls. Cheerleader Barbie, Nurse Barbie, Klaus Barbie….
Another pathologically aggressive chickenhawk (pompeo). In a piece in Foreign Affairs he describes Iran as a “rogue state that America must eliminate for the sake of all that is good.
A negligible twit–I choose my vowel carefully–but characterized, like Trump, PJ, and Pompeo, by loyalty to Israel and wild combativeness. She seemed less dangerous than just embarrassing (haley).
So it’s a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them. Actually, it’s a lot of fun to fight. You know, it’s a hell of a hoot. It’s fun to shoot some people. I’ll be right upfront with you, I like brawling.” (mattis)
Perhaps in air-to-air combat you want someone who regards killing as fun, or in an amphibious assault. But in a position to make policy?”
He missed probably the ripest jackfruit of all, pence.

Good clips, the latter especially. The people in the clip and the people now in similar positions are indeed quite similar – so similar that I often wonder why anybody would refer to these by different names… “neocon:, “ultra-liberal”, and nazi seem to have no qualities that they do not hold in common.
I have said for several years that they are the same – And that we ought to call them by the classical term > nazi. Other names seem to be dishonest…
They have, by the way, a common root source in political economy.
I really liked Fred Reed’s article that I read with enjoy.
I see Pence as more of a durian than a jakfruit. The sulphurous stench, you know.
Chancellor Kurz: Austria to Continue Nord Stream 2 Support Amid Opposition by US
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201902211072608471-austria-kurz-support-russia-nord-stream-depite-usa/
On Wednesday, Kurz was received by US President Donald Trump at the White House.
“[Trump] has clearly said that the United States is against this project. We are aware of this. We support this project because we are interested in reliable energy supplies to Austria … Finally, there is some sort of agreement on this project in Europe. And we will further promote this project,” Kurz said in an interview with the Austrian ORF broadcaster.”
Here’s the UK report on “Disinformation and `fake news’ ” which, riddled with the word ‘Russia’, is itself disinformation and `fake news’:
House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee’s report on Disinformation and `fake news’
https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201719/cmselect/cmcumeds/1791/1791.pdf
examples:
” Russian interference in UK elections
240. As we said in our Interim Report, Prime Minister Theresa May accused Russia
of meddling in elections and planting disinformation, in an attempt to ‘weaponise
information’ and sow discord in the West.
266 In its response to the Report, the Government
stated that, following the nerve agent attack in Salisbury in March 2018, the Government
had “judged the Russian state promulgated at least 38 false disinformation narratives
around this criminal act” ”
and:
“246. Ben Nimmo, from the Digital Forensics Lab of the Atlantic Council, has
detailed attempts to influence attitudes to the Scottish Referendum, for instance, which
included a Russian election observer calling the referendum not in line with international
standards, and Twitter accounts calling into question its legitimacy. The behaviour of
these accounts, Mr Nimmo argues, is pro-Kremlin, and consistent with the behaviour of
accounts known to be run by the so-called “troll factory” in St. Petersburg, Russia, during
the United States 2016 presidential election and beyond. However, it is not possible to
determine from open sources whether some or all of the accounts are independent actors,
or linked to Russian information operations.276
247. As the Secretary of State said, Russia also used malign digital influence campaigns
to undermine the Government’s communication of evidence in the aftermath of the
poisoning of the Skripals.”

http://www.unz.com/freed/the-empire-now-or-never/
Fred may be right that it’s now or never, but the nazis are not competent and not gods. A vast cathodic response on a global scale arises from their foolish and ignorant policies and actions. Every Empire has a zenith – a moment of maximum perceived power when the Imperial Elite imagine their power is stable. Then things go wrong… This is as it was for MacBeth > an attempt to Stop Time and enslave it.
“I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains: round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Robert David Steele: What Trump’s about to do is shocking
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOu4TpvydUI
I’ve been Trumped; he’s cast his spell over me. I actually like him. Is there any cure?
His worst sin is selling out America to Israel, which has infiltrated us, and is stealing our hi-tech, and putting kill-switch backdoors into our computers; to build the obor roads with Israel at their center.
His venial sins are to play his role in the good cop, bad cop ruse of two sides; a joker’s trick of giving us a choice–to take our eyes off what is really going on, namely the stealing.
Trump’s right hand is Q and his left is Fox News. What is left for me? Per the last two comments ahead of me, I am caught between Ozymandias and Robert David Steele; some choice. Fortunately, there’s this cafe and all of you to blow my blues away.
They say, Dennis, that Hope dies last… The fakedemocracy gave a choice between a psyco-Clown and a known mass murderer…so people went with “hope” and voted, just enough (maybe) to reject the obvious criminal, a “lady”, and, sorta, elect an incompetient, ignorant, clown…a Fascist Clown…all from a “choice” between Hope and Crime…
Now the clown is about to attack another national state. Stop hoping…
No “plan” survives first contact… When Persia experienced Salamis, the young Xerxes had sense enough to retreat, thus avoiding a defeat that might destroy Persia…which lasted another 400 years, more or less.
Think of Syria as “Salamis”….and Venezuela as an avoidable Imperial Defeat… Well, the die has been cast and now “Nero”, er Trumpie, is determined to achieve defeat.
Bear in mind that Venezuela “wins” against the Empire if it does not surrender…even if it takes 20 (or more) years…and they’ll soon have millions of determined militia armed against…what? Mercenaries. And remember Che thanking the US for the Bay of Pigs..which assured the success of their Revolution.
Do not believe in a false god. Or a clown act. Just be nice to the people around you, as that’s what tiny political power you have left.
see> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeN027tTj_g I am reminded of the Commandante Fidel. You can see a good translation @ /the-minister-of-defense-of-venezuela-rejects-trumps-blackmail-against-his-country/ Or, better, read the English and listen to the Spanish…and look at the men.
I can second that emotion, but not the simple reductionism that comes along with it.
Trump speaks to Americans as someone would to fourth graders….because that’s the approximate average grade of his and my countrymen.
“Keep it simple, stupid!”, …………….or you’ll lose votes, mind you!
According to RDS (who has some interesting things to say sometimes, but who….”Ummmmmm….” also grates on my nerves somewhat, Trump thrives on complexity…..to the degree of being motivated by near chaos in which he believes, (from experience in business!) that he can come out ahead of the overwhelmed competition.
Who get quickly disoriented.
Bear that in mind, P and DL and others in this short little full of ironic complexity video which I hereby dub,
“More From Dore, on Venezuela”:
https://youtu.be/Qr-iMLluTlw
FBI’s McCabe Accidentally Tells Truth About Venezuela
The guy’s trolling.
In my experience, that’s dragging hooks in the wake of a fishing vessel at half throttle. If it’s albacore. Because if you hooked one at full throttle, at the surface where the barbless feather hooks entice from above….you’d tear half the head of a hooked albacore off from the jolt of it diving to escape.
In the case of Chinook (King) or Coho Salmon, make that quarter throttle. They are feeding at deeper depths than the near surface feeding albacore. Even at half throttle the lead weights that sink the salmon lures to the appropriate depth would pull back and up too much from the increased friction from the sea water…to shallower waters where too few salmon swim.
I reeled in a Coho on an albacore lure, but the skipper said that was a once every year or so kind of thing. Or less.
Observe.
Don’t get hooked.
Let McCabe and Pelosi and Chuckie Shumer and Teresa May and the Fake News Media get trolled, sliced open…gutted …..and put on ice.
That’s my advice.
I am sorry, but I do not understand the usage, My Oxford Companion to Philosophy posits three sorts of Reductionisms. These are Ontological, Methodological and Theoretical…”Simple Reduction-ism” is, or seems to be, a term in rhetoric, bluntly, a derogatory use. Although of course I have studied Rhetoric, I by nature inclined to avoid it’s use in favor of plain-speaking or, formally, Parrhesia – in order, of course, to reveal Truth. It’s, for me, a matter of Knowing, not Belief or Emotion.
I tend to suspect that there is a conflation in your welcome critical remark between Emotion and Parrhesia, as I do not either see evidence of Emotion in my post, or indeed in my own view as to our orientation in this moment in Time. For us, here on the cusp of a massive global conflict between, objectively, Eurasia and a moribund Empire, which is unable to avoid a classical Thucydides Trap or a massive and debilitating economic (and inflationary) disaster.
After the war is resolved, then perhaps Emotions will have freedom again.
I do not see that what McCabe et al say, or do, or what happens to them matters in any way, neither do I care.
I too used to fish. I remember 12 foot sturgeon in the mid reaches of the Sacramento…(also tuna in the Santa Monica Bay – from the pier) and I always let them go, whatever size. The river provides the troll for free, as the sturgeons know. I just cast the anchor, and the line.
Not ignoring your reply…but barely catching up to the café now.
Some Irish Americans are kind of happy, some that will only have clones of themselves as brothers or countrymen seem very ,very bitter and unhappy!
I can see why!
Your comments are more interesting (less predictable) but maybe the gist of the metaphor will be made more intelligible …in time.

The laugh of the day – Dmitry Orlov – I love it! Oink along with them!
Putin now thinks Western Elites are Swine.
Last Paragraph (from behind paywall, so I’ll post this little funny bit)
“Speaking of Americans’ dishonesty and bad faith in accusing Russia of violating the ABM treaty while it was they themselves who were violating it, he added: “…and the American satellites oink along with them.” It is rather difficult to come up with an adequate translation for the Russian verb “подхрюкивать”; “oink along with” is as close as I am able to get. The mental image is of a chorus of little pigs accompanying a big swine. The implication is obvious: Putin thinks that the Americans are swine, and that their NATO satellites are swine too. Therefore, they shouldn’t expect Putin to scatter any pearls before them and, in any case, he’ll be too busy helping Russians live better lives to pay any attention to them.”
Let me add this one to the collection, looks like timid politeness fizzled out.

Interesting news about Australia. China has started to ban imports of Australian coal,30% of which goes to China.And is one of the biggest pillars of the Australian export economy .Lets not go overboard for now .Its not a total ban on imports of Australian coal “yet”.But it should be,and may end that way.
There are several “friends” of China.That could sell them more coal to make up for the Australian coal.South Africa,Indonesia,Russia,Donbass,Brazil,just to name a few.Supporting the economy of a country that sides against you is a bad idea.Now if they would just ban the imports of Australian gas,iron ore,and gold.There might be a “regime change,yellow vest” movement spring up overnight in Australia.
A very humorous move might be for China to tell Trump they want to import some more US coal too.Trump is pushing for the US coal industry as we all know.So if he jumps at that (which I figure he would).It might show the Australians once and for all that the “A” in MAGA doesn’t stand for Australia.

“Россияне, пребывающие в запасе, в 2019 году на два месяца будут призваны на военные сборы. Соответствующий указ, подписанный президентом Владимиром Путиным.
Russians who are in reserve, in 2019 for two months will be called for military training. A CORRESPONDING DECREE SIGNED BY PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN.
In my, admittedly limited knowledge, reserves are only called up for refresher training when it is thought that there may be a need to use them fighting.
What, I wonder, made President Putin take this decision; what might he know and fear to do this. Is there a reason for him to suspect physical aggression against Russia?
I searched for some sort of confirmation, Pamela. I found nothing recent or persuasive.
Can you say the source for this claim?
Of course all militaries have active reserves, and they all have to maintain some credible state of training.
Inactive reserve, in the US, are subject to recall, I believe, to age 70…they get zero training.
In legalistic terms the entire male population between 18 and, I believe 45, are considered to be the Army of the United States if war is declared, according to my memory this is in 10 USC somewhere. And the upper age limit is variable and may be extended to 70 if the State desires.
I assume the Russian arrangement is similar.
thank you for going looking – no I now no more. It turned up on my /fb page from one of several Russian streams I use. Curious and curiouser. Worth bearing in mind I thin.
Pamela, I found something. Maybe you mean this.
Putin signed a decree on calling reserve for military charges
The reserve in 2019 will be military camps, which will last up to two months. The corre-
sponding order of the president was published on the portal of legal information.
According to the text of the document, the Russians in the reserve will be called for training
in the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the state security structures and the Federal
Security Service agencies.
The decree states that the timing of military training will be agreed with the regional author-
ities. An exception will be made for inspection fees, the timing of their implementation is
determined by the Ministry of Defense.
The decree came into force on the date of its official publication – February 21.
Storage fees are held in Russia annually. The call for them is regulated by the law “On Mili-
tary Duty and Military Service” (No. 53-FZ), together with the “Regulations on the conduct
of military training.”
Can call everyone who is fit for military service: served in the army, received a military edu-
cation, who had a respite from service, reserve officers. In this case, demobilized can be
called up only two years after the end of service. Also, the law prescribes calling one person
not more than once every three years. The age limit of the call depends on the rank of re-
serve. For privates it is 50 years, for senior officers – 70 years.
From the passage of military training, in accordance with Art. 55 of Law No. 53-FZ, women,
fathers of three or more minor children, teachers, civil servants, employees of internal affairs
bodies, employees of aviation and railway transport, and some other categories of citizens
are released.

My two favorite national leaders are Trump and Putin, because they say they want their people to thrive, a sort of MAGA and MRGA. I think they genuinely like each other but Israel can’t allow that sort of thing; it has to keep countries fighting each other, or pretending to, lest they turn their eyes on Israel and its shenanigans in Palestine. Trump gets more attention but Putin is more popular.
That’s not the worst of it. Israel is the master of trade and finance, and has been for thousands of years, sometimes under different names. America and Russia are under its money thumb, despite reports to the contrary. Ever hear of Sergei Glazyev lately?
As long as money rules and doesn’t serve, the world will be dangerous and breeder of a host of ills. What do I do? For many years I have not taken interest on my money; it’s not much but it’s something. Trump and Putin probably do, and are likely minor oligarchs themselves. If either of the two ever drop in here to this cafe, I’ll ask them where the money leads. Think I’d get a straight answer?
“because they say they want their people to thrive”
What they say and do are poles apart.
Trump’s tax giveaway, primarily to the rich and Putin’s pension bomb are most recent facts.
Israel is just one of the monster’s.
“Trump gets more attention but Putin is more popular.”
Most recent polls have Trump popularity at 44% and Putin at 33.4%

Nitenyaahoo has no boundaries as to how low he will go to get re-elected; he us now aligning his likuds with some of most extreme parties in Israel; indeed, alarming.
—————
On April 9, a sizeable number of Israelis will take to the polls to elect a party composed entirely of racist, homophobic, theocratic, violent thugs who use Israel’s democratic system as a tool to get elected for the sole purpose of dismantling it.
This is terrifying.
Now, there are those who will say I’m being alarmist. After all, Bezalel Smotrich is already serving in the Knesset (as part of the governing coalition no less) and Michael Ben-Ari already briefly served in the Knesset in 2009 under the National Union Party and the sky did not fall.
First of all, this is different because, while someone like Smotrich should never have been part of a governing coalition in the first place, he never held a ministerial portfolio. Under this deal, individuals who preach intolerance, believe in discrimination and call for war crimes will be given the reigns over Israel’s education system and housing policy, and will further be given a say in the nation’s security. These malevolent individuals are also being given the prime minister’s seal of approval. That’s an unprecedented allotment of power and legitimacy.
Furthermore, the problem with the laissez-faire attitude is that the sky rarely falls suddenly; change occurs gradually. It’s the boiling frog phenomenon. It starts innocently enough with “a few bad eggs” here and there and ends with Kahanists engulfing the Knesset. Hatred and extremism cannot become normalized.
The crime is not in the existence of these people, there will always be a hideous underbelly within any society and Israel is no different. The true crime is embracing it and mainstreaming its hideousness into the general political discourse.
In just 30 years, we’ve gone from the entire Knesset boycotting Kahane’s speeches to the prime minister openly collaborating with his successors.
Remember the boiling frog? Well, it’s long dead and the pot is boiling over.

“…political economies inform contemporary policies and practices of surveillance. A critical analysis of the relation of political economy to neoliberal governmentality, biopolitical technologies of power, and contemporary regimes of truth leads to posit that global mass surveillance is a technology of power deployed by a contemporary biopolitics of information and communication. A conceptual reinterpretation
of Foucault’s notion of parrhesia and Mann’s notion of sousveillance leads to posit that parrhesiastic
sousveillance is a sociopolitical and technologically-enabled modality of resistance that can resemantize contemporary politics of truth and lead towards a newborn digital agency for global(ized) civil society….”

That’s why I spend a lot more time observing certain phenomena on the political landscape than I do emoting about those subjects, “joining the herd” or “new concensus”, etc. Embarrassment doesn’t “age well.”
Since I don’t have all the time in the world, some filtering through others of diverse approaches, especially of different perspective and experience than my own….which I am certain from the outset can NEVER be complete,,,,EVER… (same for your conclusions and any other mortal beings’, BTW…) and varying track records of sound judgment or courageous stands on subjects other than those being immediately discussed…is routinely employed.
Still observing, haven’t made up my mind about “The Plan” yet. That “Israel Is Last.” element of it takes a long time to chew! Much less swallow….or digest fully…..LOL.
But one little thing that I do observe…..is that the prevailing attitude here toward the Q-Anon phenomenon very closely matches that of ………….WAPO/CIA.
And that’s why I chuckle a great deal, most every day.
Think I’m joking (again) ?? LOL….Have a listen:

How QAnon, the bizarre pro-Trump conspiracy theory, took hold in right-wing circles online.
I knew this was coming a number of days ago (7) because of this earlier video by the you tuber they interview (in chopped up pieces….soundbites made to sound silly ,,,control the narrative, control the narrative CONTROL! CONTROL!:
https://youtu.be/0q_eYZ-zjys
2.14] LIVE: I just interviewed with the Washington Post about Q
Where Jordan Sather discusses how he knows they will do a “hit piece” on him and chop up all ideas he expresses into sound bites that they then pontificate on in ways you hear a lot…..around here:
The CIA Line.
Well, well, well, how did THAT happen???
Too little observation. Too much haste to jump to conclusions because the Q Movement (like ANY movement.)…has a few…nut jobs….a few mediocrities …..and many people with flawed ideology and beliefs!
So, what else is new about ANY organization, any movement, ANY large group of people????.THAT is not a determinant fact of anything. It says nothing…unless it is universally true among ALL of them.
And it isn’t. If you cared to look at close to all of them.
I get an uneasy feeling watching Blessed to Teach….but anyone heavy on belief and very light on critical thinking makes me feel that way. No, I am not picking specifically on Dennis again. I’m critiquing the majority of human beings!
This kid Jordan is not one of those, however…IMHO. He makes his thinking process far more transparent than most people know how to do….and well…he CAN think!
Now here’s what I think is THE KEY to this controversy, ultimately: I hold that the WAPO interview linked above is starkly DEFENSIVE in nature….and a very lame attack, in terms of any real sort of effective offensive initiative.
And they give it away in the first minute or so, if you are observant….not just of their hit piece video but a number of things in the global political sphere that one must needs “tie together”.
Like those 4 little words mouthed by Vladimir Putin not that long ago:
…..“those that eat babies”…
I have never witnessed any infant murder nor consumption by older humans of younger ones, but until proven otherwise ….I do NOT think it at all probable that Vladimir Putin spoke those words in jest.
Do you???
Here’s the defensive opening “blocking action” executed by this “designed play” pulled on Jordan Sather by the Deep State:
https://youtu.be/7qlJMEUSSWU?t=18 Yep …a mere 18 seconds in.
Join WAPO in dismissing …….those 4 words above spoken by Putin, if you will.
I will NOT yet.
And that’s the deeper issue here.Lots of people, without knowing Putin EVER said those four words are finding themselves fully able to believe that the idea he expressed…………has something to do with how blind they were for decades……and how close we have come..in the last couple of decades….to losing Civilization.
HOW did the Empire bring about the insanely dangerous situation they brought the world to?
I think they did it through mechanisms of control that are most usefully dubbed “Human Compromise”.
And there are some excellent interviews on that subject that ring very,very true, of a gritty detective who I can tell is NOT lying.
He thinks way too quickly on his feet, in response to questions about dark political doings in this country decades ago…that I am familiar with….that I was following as early as the 1980s…as they were unfolding….as books like the Franklin Coverup were being written…and I was reading them…to be lying .
And this gets at the question of “the unthinkable” and the reluctance of many good people to “go there” . Their INabiltiy to even take a first step into the darkness that exists there. This is what held back hundreds of millions of people around the world on September 11, 2001.
Not me, guys. Not a lot of other isolated persons who almost no one wanted to hear, either.
That incapacity to “go there”…..THAT’S a distinct vulnerability….a pervasive incapacity and unwillingness among the masses of people that inhabit this planet ………..and it is constantly reinforced ………..by the mind benders that the Empire depends upon to keep the sheeple herded away from discovery of the workings of the Chains of Human Slavery that The Empire System Must Preserve ……To Continue to Exist and to Plague Humanity.
And people can’t think it or even imagine it!
Well, Imagine THAT.
To be continued.
“But one little thing that I do observe…..is that the prevailing attitude here toward the Q-Anon phenomenon very closely matches that of ………….WAPO/CIA.
And that’s why I chuckle a great deal, most every day.”
Yes, that makes me chuckle too. The oldest of old propaganda messages. If you are not with us, then you are with the enemy. That is just screwed up child level rhetoric and forces more polarity – no other words for it.
Who said it last? A certain Bush. “If you are not with us, you are with the terrorists.” he bellowed. He also announced: “I heard the call. I believe God wants me to be President.”
Good observers then can figure out that this is the same old story of division and creating enemies. Divide and conquer baby! Who is it that said that if you can make people believe absurdities, you can make them commit atrocities.
My observation of the day, is still the chuckle about Putin’s description and it is has immediately become a hit in our daily expression. Are you oinking along with me on this? Let me see if I can make this pan of special food oink along with me. We’ve fully integrated that very funny expression into our daily chat.
So, I’ll be a little careful who I oink along with (grins).
The FOX News / RT apologists go head to head but both are really wondering who can secure more missile sale contracts with the Saudis.
Aah, it so happens that Caitlin Johnstone analyzed a similar occurrence – the MSM and FAANG cronies use this methodology well.

Precious metals are about as opposite of crypto currencies as you can get.
There’s all sorts of Divisions of Labor….in both Nature and Human Affairs….a subset of Nature, by the way
Introducing this precious metals analyst, Craig Hemke….who, sofar, so good….. seems like he has done his homework on the history of that form of money….especially in the last 80 years or so..
Unlike crypto commenters Cliff High and Bix Weir who forecast that Silver is scarcer than Gold and will become increasingly so, (passing Gold in value per ounce!.. Cliff’s last name isn’t “High” for nothing…..lol…. Mr Hemke advises you to increase your peripheral vision and take note of Palladium over in the outside, FAST LANE,….which at $1500 per ounce currently has already outstripped Gold…today…as the most precious, commonly traded metal.
If Hemke is right, I’m calling it The Palladium Plug….because if someone wants to do something to cause The Empire Banks to Go Down the Drain RUSSIA…he says is in position to do exactly that .Pull The Palladium Plug On Them..as Russia is far and away the world’s biggest supplier of Palladium:
https://youtu.be/RCCpljYVkzw?t=1388
Cued up for y’all right where he is leading up to remarks on Russia’s Strong Hand in a Rarely Discussed “Element” of the Global Precious Metals Markets.….and how bank obligations to supply that metal…obligations which they are struggling mightily to meet right now, according to Hemke, can cripple their financial and political power.when their paper promises Game Is UP.

Interesting that Lavelle and Crooke seem to see the USA as in, now, civil war (their terminology).
Peter Lavelle meets with Alastair Crooke meet again to discuss the end of America’s unipolar moment…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYQQtKlbklE
I myself tend to doubt the “civil” aspect of their view, as a civil war seems to me to consist of a contest for control of the State and State apparatus. Nevertheless there are latent stresses that might arise with such goals.
Instead, I suspect, the US is attempting to prevent dissolution and loss of control due to macro-economic changes. If this control weakens enough, then we may have some sort of rhyme with Confederacy…I think Lavelle and Crooke misunderstand the Northern War of Aggression because they’re educated in canonical history rather than objective events and causation.
Crooke is a smart fella…he’s spookish…https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Alistair_Crooke
They discuss, more saliently, the obvious ideological delusions within the US’s elite and many plebs, which may guarantee a Thucydides Trap either exists or is likely… I tend to expect it’s a reality, and that this assures econo-collapse. That, in turn, would seem to create the ground for their “civil war” – fairly soon, but not yet…
Looking ahead and past the Eurasian/US war to the post war conditions, the status quo post bellum never, in history, equates to the status quo ante bellum, this implies not a genuine contest for control of a lost State, but a contest for Regions…vaguely similar to the Confederacy…but possibly successful. In turn this implies Regions heavily influenced by foreign States, particularly by China and Russia.
That was a good interview with Crooke and Lavelle, thanks. Crooke put his finger on the problem I think when he mentioned the western ‘certainty in their own mental constructs’ as the cause of the blindness to reality we are currently experiencing in the western sphere. There is a good article in the sidebar, posted by Taras 77 that analyses in some detail the possible effects and blowback on the US of the trade war with China, and makes clear that none of this has been comprehensively or even adequately thought through by those cheerleading for “all options are on the table”:
https://consortiumnews.com/2019/02/18/will-the-trade-war-lead-to-real-war-with-china/
Gavin Williamson has been given a veiled rebuke from Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, for his threat to send our only carrier (that has no airplanes as we cannot afford them) to patrol the South China Sea as China, naturally, cancelled much needed trade talks (given the imminence of Brexit) on being so threatened. Gavin’s dreams of Empire 2.0–send a gunboat to suppress the natives–will have to go back to the drawing board. Since another of his wheezes involved mounting guns on tractors in lieu of building tanks, (due to austerity, of course) may the gods preserve us from this.
The constant rumour that our military will be transferred to EU command, even if Brexit ever actually happens, is starting to look like a very good idea.
That sentance was scary….either immininent collapse or ww3…..not sure which would come first…..
PCR pretty much nails it here: (complete, utter, surrender-get kushner, et al out of there):
“Trump’s surrender to the neoconservatives makes it impossible for an informed person to support him. He has signed off on the coup against democracy in Venezuela, and he has placed all life at risk by pulling out of the INF treaty with Russia. Putin has publicly announced that the consequences of Washington’s reckless and irresponsible decision to junk the INF treaty will be the targeting of the missile sites in Europe and also of the American command and control centers.”
https://www.globalresearch.ca/if-truth-is-politicized-all-is-lost-trump-grants-free-rein-to-the-crazed-neocons/5669297
I have had a discussion or two with PCR, and I like him, but do not see him as particularly well-grounded. His understanding of the avuncular fool Reagan (a man I know about, personally) is frankly delusional – this stands as evidence of a flaw in PCR’s intellectual and observational abilities. I read his latest essay, which you proffer. In some sense I agree with his idea that “Trump’s surrender to the neoconservatives makes it impossible for an informed person to support him.” However…
Whether one supports the Clownish Trumpster or not balances upon, for one, the question of what one expects to come of said support. Some voted for him (supported him) in the recent election because they saw him as liable to bring chaos and delay in Imperial Designs, and thus create a somewhat longer period for Russia and China and Iran to prepare to resist and then defeat the Imperium while further weakening the support for the Imperium generally, and thus, in due course, create circumstances wherein a post war reality amenable to the establishment of Regions in a Confederation in the space formerly occupied by the present hijacked and bankrupt State might obtain. They saw Trumpie as both agent of ruin and as a fine and fitting pharmacos… ending a long drama with a farcical clown act…This is to say that Trumpie may well be the trigger agent, whatever his intent, for a lost war and a new revolution.
In the present day, the Clownish Fascist is, it is evident, going to play a functional role in making a war of aggression against Venezuela. Now imagine what’s going to come of this… Of course it’s a disaster for Venezuela, but also, quite probably, going to evolve into further dissolution of control over the Satrapies of Western Europe, the squandering of vast treasure in futile murders, an acceleration of domestic economic collapse, and so forth. Possibly, according to such views, a decade-long insurgency in Venezuela…one does think of the Vietnam defeat… Insurgencies require outside support in order to function and continue, and maybe to prevail, but not much. This is quite liable to be available. Venezuela is The Big Muddy? Huummm, maybe.
If informed people desire such an outcome, and many do, then perhaps they ought to support Trumpie.
Of course this also balances on the question of Power – does it matter if one supports the Clown, or not? Do people have the power to give support now?
I imagine they might, a tiny bit; it may matter – but if the die has been cast, the Rubicon crossed…(today’s Crosstalk explores that question, and seems to support, by implication at least, that it has), then it may not matter at all.
(VVP recently spoke to the realm of politics and diplomacy. He said correctly that it’s a bit like mathematics (and not emotion). Whether or not somebody likes somebody is a question with zero value in the realm of realpolitik. Trumpie and the ultraliberals around him are blind men in the grip of a delusional ideology, quite unable to do mathematics…but they do command a terrible set of infernal machines they call “weapons”…and they do not understand, are unable to understand, Power or the use of “weapons”. One does think of a blind insane giant, They say that those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad…PCR noticed, sorta, but he fails to see the full scale of implications.)
Thanks for the reply; very learned and perceptive discussion, parrhesiastes.
There is a lot of verbage and garbage out there and it is difficult to descern what to accept and what to not waste time on reading-my filter is usually on but I do admit that I’m guilty of reading and quoting that with which I am generally in agreement.
I do think PCR is usually off the mark on Putin and Russia but he is one who usually does provide a trigger for my rage and frustration. Giraldi is another. But at the end of the day, does it matter? I would say no but what does “support” in itself really matter unless one is of the huge monied elite. That is another dimension.
Huge amount of effort goes into the propaganda mill but, again, to what effect. It is good that some informed commentators call out this garbage from where ever for what it is, at least to slow it down as it is spewing out to the sheeple.
It seems that cynicism reigns supreme and democracy, whatever that is, dies in despair.
You captured my sense in the following:
“Of course this also balances on the question of Power – does it matter if one supports the Clown, or not? Do people have the power to give support now?”.
Best regards,
The hate hoax thing is not so new as i imagined, i stumbled across this ebook from 1994 and im actually a bit surprised. http://fakehatecrimes.org/Crying-Wolf-by-Laird-Wilcox.pdf
“In recent years “anti-racists” have proclaimed that virtually every behavior and
institution in our society is covertly racist. Anti-racism has become a small
industry in the United States. Entire career fields are built around defining
and combatting “racism” in one form or another. As individual problems are
solved and offensive behaviors disappear, the definition of racism is broadened
again and again to include more and more behaviors, hence we have the problem of
“increasing” bigotry and intolerance. I suspect the last thing many professional
anti-racists want is a truly race-neutral society. They have developed a vested
interest in the continuation of the problem, a kind of “co-dependency”
relationship, if you will.
It’s no great surprise that a bright, socially-conscious individual would
realize quite on his or her own that there’s nothing like some racist graffiti
or some other “hate crime” to invigorate the militants, and what the hell, it’s
for a good cause – right? Americans are not known for their ability to defer
gratification for long. Hence, the racist or anti-Semitic hoax. It’s as easy as
apple pie.
Consider a college campus boiling with racial and gender sensitivity, with
courses in victimization, organizations for victims, a constant barrage of
victimization propaganda — but no immediate and palpable victims. “Anti-racist”
vigilantes with no racists (or misogynists and homophobes) to hang had better
get busy and make some, and as we see, they often do.
What I see happening with hoaxes is a kind of “market” process: the frequency of
hoaxes increases with their utility in accomplishing desired ends. When the
“market” or payoff for victimization goes up, the temptation to create
victimization where none exists is very strong and the temptation of exaggerate
minor cases of alleged victimization is even stronger.”
I guess i should not be surprised that it is a old trade, but i admit it had not crossed my mind that hate hoaxes were old news.

Looks like this one wheel cafe has about had its day; just time enough to have my say before going on my way.
Dimitar’s poetry is exquisite, the one who makes my heart sing. Please allow me to share this in gratitude:
—————–
I wish I could have held you then
Held you again and again and again
Baby, baby, baby
Mama, mama, mama
I hear the sigh you never sighed
Feel the tear you never cried
Dressed all up in grown up garb
I see your blanket in the yard
What will you do when life’s hard
Who will water the flowers
Or start the sprinklers
In the early morning hours
Come sweetheart to my breast
I will give you milk and rest
All the angels from above
Send you gifts of precious love
All your hours have been numbered
By the moon while you slumbered
I don’t care if it’s a girl or boy
All I want is joy on joy
Girl oh girl, boy oh boy
—————————
Bro, what can I say? I read your every word. I don’t agree with everything you propound, but I’m glad you speak your mind. Your links are part of my remedial education, like Jimmy Dore’s wise observations that, (in my rendition,) is “all leaders are bad guys to some extent” and “Dems and Repubs alike are for the latest invasion of a weaker country that’s hoarding our resources.”
You are the expert on trolling fish, sometimes in my case; I don’t mind–just don’t hook me, use a net. Jordan Sather seems a fine young man, a model of a good balance between “heavy on belief and light on critical thinking,” (my paraphrasing).
Paul, the Awa Awa singers put me in the mood of our ancient wise ancestors; oh, how far we have fallen from that sacred milieu.
I have been away for some time, and so have missed much of the wisdom and humor here. My reading of this cafe informs me of the high quality of thought here; and of how much benefit I have received from the Saker and his stellar moderators, and in-house contributors. I don’t agree with everything that goes on here, but the influence on myself is quite tangible; despite my curmudgeon, againstness views. For instance, I just notice you got your timepiece adjusted correctly–don’t get it? Don’t fret it; just ask Bro about my Timex.
Gotta run from this cafe to the one downstairs, and then watch Fox News or sports, or whatever Barb and Ed (sister and bro in law) want; they’re only too happy to put up what I want, but their tastes and mind-scapes are in general not mine. Of the four siblings, three of us are devout Catholics still, while I was the black sheep who left the church, and went to California, of all places. Still, they love me as well as any Catholic.

Trump has just nominated KKK as ambassador the UN. http://tass.com/world/1046088
For those outside the US or Americans who don’t know their own history, the KKK, or the Ku Klux Klan, first arose as groups of former confederate soldiers banding together to fight ideas like the Federal occupation of the defeated confederacy and the theft of wealth under the guise of Reconstruction, as well as any notion of segregation of the races.
The KKK then continued and morphed into a very racist paramilitary that enforced segregation. Those who didn’t obey would first be warned by the burning of a cross outside their house, emphasizing the good Christian nature of this mob. If that did not force the people of color who were acting ‘upity’ in the eyes of the racists, or the whites who were too friendly across the races, the violence would escalate up through beatings and murder. The KKK through this time is the reason why the term lynching is a permanent part of American political discourse. Not only were the paramilitaries violent, they were powerful as often the mayor or sheriff of the town were leading the mob underneath those white hoods.
These days, the KKK still exists, but has lost the power it had in the days before the civil rights movement. Now its some angry racists yelling about white power and showing off their Confederate flags plus often some German WW2 memorabilia. They ain’t pretty, but they are not nearly as scary as their murderous, cross-burning namesakes.
Now Trump has put KKK as American’s ambassador to the UN. Seriously, that’s the guys initials.

excerpt> (machine assisted to English) “The GDR seems to have risen again – as a German Democratic Republic. Opinion polls became a means of politics; they are usually used to make opinions , not to fathom them. So it is not surprising that, even if you ask the same group of people, the results can be different – depending on how you ask the question. There are questions with preconceived purpose premiums , control questions in order to sort out survey results in contradictory answers, random surveys , cluster samples or deliberate leading questions in order to achieve the desired result for the client.”
Many will, no-doubt, disagree, and I myself have doubts, but History of Europe seems to me to suggest that the influx of foreigners will produce pogroms, and they will be either murdered or expelled. A terrible crime (smashing Syria, Libya, etc) makes for…well, more crime? Yeah. Violence seed violence, pity.

I just read the main-page comments at the open thread on Venezuela. I think this is mostly theater, with the actors on both sides following the scripts they’ve been given from above. Why?
It’s the usual hoax to distract from the real game going on in the Middle East with Zionist Israel as producer, director and investor in the construction of Greater Israel with Jerusalem as the hub of the many tentacled obor rails where all roads lead to Home, the Third Temple of trade and finance.
The New Messiah is a secular, technological wizard, bringing us hope while stealing us blind. I marvel at how the Beast has honed his horns into a cornucopia mirage–magical illusion at its finest.
What do I know? I’m just a tragic-magic child who thinks he sees an Empire without clothes. I tried to tell my parents but they told me to “hush” and salute the Emperor when passes, lest the neighbors report them to the authorities.
As for Venezuela, my heart was cheered to see that Vercia V. is still with us, reporting from ground zero. For her sake, and the courageous Venezuelans, I hope I am not too far off regarding the theatrics of this staged event (imho). Trump doesn’t seem too concerned since he’s over in Vietnam, (the country we liberated), saving the world from Rocket Man; and preparing shelf space for his anticipated Nobel Peace Prize trophy.
Of course, the World Commander in Chief gets to take Air Force One, while Kim is taking an armored train on the pubescent obor road. What a show! You can’t make this up; but the Master Patriarch story tellers in the line of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob sure can.
If people really do get hurt, I will feel bad because I didn’t take this event seriously enough; but virtually all of these shootings with guns and cameras involve paid actors and fake deaths. My source for this outrageous statement is none other than Miles Mathis with his super persuasive evidence. In the meantime, I’m strapped in and hanging on for dear life upon this roller coaster world.
27 million Russians died in the FUKUS sponsored 2nd World War.
Apparently many will, in old age, now freeze in state un-sponsored tent cities.
At the main page an interesting and entertaining article just went up by Pepe Escobar. I may be wrong, but I think it illustrates what I was saying about staged events. In this case it is the war promotion propaganda, which is a main source of income for the Empire, with huge military budgets and many subsidiary dependents.
For me, the “tell” of the Empire’s hand is the INF (Intermediate Nuclear Forces) treaty, which Pepe references. I am persuaded beyond any reasonable doubt by Miles Mathis’ evidence that no one has nuclear weapons; nobody knows how to make them.
Atomic and nuclear bombs and missiles are one gigantic hoax to instill fear in the populace and to keep them compliant and dependent on the masters, so the brain washed keep paying their taxes for these boondoggles. Sure, there are conventional bombs aplenty but they lack enough of the fear factor.
This theory also supports the notion that all top leaders world wide are either in on the hoax, or are persuaded by the false propaganda. Normal war weapons are bad enough but if there are no nuclear weapons, the fear goes way down, at least for me.
Pepe mentions the Cuban Missile crisis as being real, but I wonder if it too was not faked. It would not surprise me. Do you still believe anything that governments say just because they say it? I don’t, except for the truths they mix in with the lies to make the noxious potions go down easier. It’s a bitter pill to swallow about our glorious leaders; but after all, “the truth will set you free.”
This is a sensitive area for us since it involves Putin and Russia. I think he is a genuine nationalist, looking out for the good of his country; but then Trump also presents himself that way too, with plenty of results to bolster that opinion. To help untangle the conundrum I distinguish between oligarchic Russia and commoner Russia. The former might be a fifth column Empire enabler, while the latter would not–and the same would apply to America.
The Escobar article has a header in bold print: “The House of the Rising (Nuclear) Sun.” In the context of my argument, this is an inflammatory “shouting fire in a theater” statement. At the same time, we have the inflammatory situation in Venezuela; and if that is not enough, provocation by the Ukrainians on the Russian border.
Does anyone see the pattern I see? To me it’s pretty plain that we are being played by the Governors with their bag of magic and psychic tricks. Unpleasant truths that threaten our worldview are never popular, and are heavily defended against by our conditioning. As always, this is just my opinion, which could be wrong.
“Atomic and nuclear bombs and missiles are one gigantic hoax to instill fear in the populace and to keep them compliant and dependent on the masters”
Of course.
The second, smaller, bogogeyman, is islamic fundamentalism.
With any luck, trump & Putin popularity is even less than the polls admit.
When this hoax kills billions of people and we are all stuck together in a very long line trying to reach an overworked St. Peter at the pearly gates, we can compare notes on this hoax.
Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria thought the same thing, as long as he could. Some may recall the preacher saying “Are you going to believe me or your lyin’ eyes?”
Like they say, Hope dies last. The reality is stark. Atomic explosives and the gizmos that make them fly or swim to point zero are real, and nobody who has seen one detonate doubts this.
It is as real as a gun, as real as the earth itself. And stark. Read some physics, Dennis. Playtime pretend is over.
“pretend is over.”
However, it’s a given that the ones pointed at Florida are.
Pretend-time came to an end at Alamogordo in 1945. I have been there.
@ “However, it’s a given that the ones pointed at Florida are.”
“are” – what, real or like bullets for Ghost Dancers and cargo to Cargo Cults, they, they gadgets, are imagined to be imaginary because this is easier to believe… most belief, most ideology, perhaps even all ideology is simply the warm cloak of comforting imagination. Perhaps the man about to be hanged believes that the rope will break, for him, this time…or that a place is safe. No place is safe. I have no idea what gadgets are targeted on Florida, but essentially the entire NA space is.
VVP spoke to atomwar> “Nobody would survive” One assumes VVP is aware of Florida…
If anybody believes that there is a place on earth or even near earth, say, Mars, that cannot be targeted and obliterated by atomic explosive, they’re simply enjoying a delusion.

Psyche op “Heart Throb” looks as if it is fraying and fizzling on the border of Colombia and Venezuela. Supposely trucks bearing loads of yellow roses just arrived—late for the rock concert yesterday in Cucuta.
Roses? Are you kidding? In a Latin American macho mob ( no kids or women) you think they are going to waltz around sticking Roses in? where? gun barrels?? Wrong culture at the wrong moment.
Take those yellow roses to France and they will know where to stick them on their matching vests. I suppose they expected groupies from the rock concerts to hang around for the roses and fireworks but things are very down to the real nitty gritty in Sur America.
Everyone knows the Guys running this coup ran torture camps, threw people out of airplanes and did mass killings in the countrysides so no one, I repeat no one, is feeling hippy-dippy. Everyone is wary-scary but Maduro is ready-steady. He is not going to be bull baited to death.
I do not know or care if this will comment is not published, because my concern is with the Global Economy, and trying to prevent or delay a Dictatorship in Australia, and the West and the East will also receive a copy of this document through the political parties of Australia.
I will send a copy of this letter to several political parties in Australia, and give them the opportunity to say that they have discussed rebuilding the economy, and discussed the creation of many jobs, that will also address social injustice in Australia. This comment refers to Julian Assange, and the real reason he is being slandered and persecuted, and the real reason why Establishment puppet journalists do not defend him. The unprincipled people in Australia’s alleged public services, rarely want to do what is proper, and so they wait until Australians ask for their legitimate rights, and then after that, those alleged public servants deny them their legitimate rights, and some Australians criticize the abuse of power by these alleged public servants, who are self servers and parasites on the taxpayers’ money. These alleged public servants, then corruptly use those legitimate complaints as an illegitimate excuse not to do the proper thing, and to deliberately frustrate their customers. They act in this despicable and underhanded way, rather than doing their jobs for which they are paid, and they do it in the hope to provoke customers to act in a way, which may be improperly construed to be inappropriate an inappropriate way of requesting for their legitimate rights, given the circumstances, after they were being illegitimately frustrated and provoked, because of being denied their legitimate rights, and few of those evil Devil worshipping public servants only want to do the less than the bare minimum, and only reluctantly and grudgingly, and it is especially because they greatly enjoy unnecessarily frustrating their customers, because they love causing suffering to people, and these alleged public servants will only make a virtue out of necessity, because there is very little virtue in them. Australian voters hope that the democratically elected, or even the undemocratically selected members in Australia’s parliaments do not follow their bad example. The best economic policy is one that is based entirely on fairness, justice, and equity.
Perhaps the basics of this economic recovery plan, should not be cherry picked, because I think that it is a package, and perhaps the banks will help those struggling with mortgages, because they do not want the government to print money and purchase those houses, and it is not because the banks are concerned for people, and that is fine by me, as long as those people who need help receive it. If any economic or taxation policy is not fair, just, and equitable to the individual and/or to the nation, then it should be modified until it is, and if it cannot be made fair, just, and equitable, then it should be rejected, because fairness, justice, and equity is the only way, and the quickest way to economic recovery. It is like going to purchase a car, and say that you are cherry picking the car, and that you only want the engine and the steering wheel, and that you are confident that such an alleged car is roadworthy.
I have heard the suggestion that the coronavirus face masks and the gloves are the mark of the beast on the forehead and on the right hand. It is a fact that most of the leading Nazis were involved in the occult, as has happened with many leaders of some countries during many generations, and so Hitler was a secret Devil worshipper and a secret servant of the invisible devil and of the other invisible fallen angels or invisible demons, who are as real, and as invisible gravity, invisible magnetism, invisible radio waves, and invisible mobile phone waves, and invisible air, and all spirits, both the good and the evil are invisible to humans, even though they all can see each other, and the invisible rebel angels are very dangerous (Colossians 1:16; 1 Timothy 1:17; 1 Peter 5:6-8). Hitler had an invisible, yet very perceivable mark of the beast on his forehead, and can be readily perceived after a person knows how to look for it, which was easily seen or perceived by his speech and his actions, because guilt was written all over his face, which included his forehead, and the leading Nazis had scull badges on their headwear, which is called Totenkopf, and those beastly scull badges were in the position that was directly in front of the foreheads of the wearer of that headwear, and even Police in Western democracies have badges on their police hats and caps, and the mark of the beast is recognized by their behaviour and attitude, as we have seen with some police in America, and America is unjust, because it has a very high percentage of their population in prison, and they should pay some level of Unemployment Benefits perpetually for those who are unemployed or under employed. Britain left the European Union, because Continental Europe cannot and should not be as much of a democracy as the United Kingdom is for practical reasons, even if most of Continental European Union countries at present have the mark of the beast, over Serbia and its Province of Kosovo. Britain wanted Continental Europe to fragment with racial issues, and this is why the War Criminals, Blair and Clinton, who both have the mark of the beast; illegally and immorally waged war on Serbia to create and further exacerbate separatist movements on Continental Europe, and it is because Britain and France do not want to lose their influence on Continental Africa, and they are aware of Chinese investments in Africa, and would like Africa to be like the Colonial days, and perhaps Africans may not want or trust any White man’s vaccines against coronavirus, and different races may prefer to invent their own vaccines, because they trust that more, if they do not have Uncle Toms, because of what they have seen in Europe, and what the white genocidal countries, like Britain and France did to Libya. Anglo America has the money to puppetize Uncle Toms of every country, and poisons and dangerous things that could change people’s DNA or give them cancer. Hitler’s Nazi soldiers had the invisible, yet very perceivable mark of the beast on their right hands; which is easily seen or perceived, because of their right handed salutes of those Nazi soldiers which signified them giving their support for Hitler’s evil schemes, including Hitler’s evil scheme to prevent people from buying and selling legitimate and essential goods and services, along with Hitler’s death camps, and his holocaust, and his wars. (Revelation 13:2-4; 16-18).
The principle of user pays, in the context of fare evaders, will help with an improved public transport system, because deliberate fare evasion is not fair, just, or equitable, and some people get annoyed with fare evaders, but it would be better to remain diplomatic, polite, and calm, because it is the public transport department is responsible for that problem, because there are very rarely any inspectors to police this, and those who deliberately practice fare evasion have the mark of the beast, even as deliberately practising tax evasion is evidence of the mark of the beast. There is no literal mark on a person that constitutes this, but it is their behaviour and their attitude (Genesis 6: 5; Luke 17: 26; John 8: 44).
The intention of the Beast, who is more cunning when he sleeps, than most humans are knowledgeable or wise when they are awake. The lying and murdering Beast wants to unite Mankind in Devil worship, and global dictatorship, with the New World Order, and with a cashless society, or if that does not work, then the Beast could try Fairness, Justice, and Equity and allowing cash to be used as Legal Tender. The Beast tried that with his global warming hoax, that is now called climate change for the reasons that I mention in this document, but the wheels could come off that method, because the Sun is going through its cooling phase of its Solar Cycle, and there has recently been snow in the Sahara Desert, and the Northern Hemisphere has had a colder than usual winter because of the Grand Solar Minimum. The secret invisible devil worshipping Beast, will always try to find a way to try to subject Mankind to dictatorial dictatorship for the evil purpose of trying to unite mankind in Devil worship, and the Tower of Babel was one attempt that failed, and that is why we have different races speaking different languages today, and which originated from one race that was speaking one language (Genesis 11:1-9). The secret devil worshipping corrupt elements within the corrupt real estate industry, want Victoria and all other States to sell off public housing Towers cheaply to them, and I heard that one of those public housing Towers is already privately owned, and perhaps Adem Somyurek was in their way. It could be that some secret devil worshippers created Covid 19, to try to get all humans to receive the mark of the beast. The Beast is a compilation of several anti Christ countries at the time of the end of the world, even as it has in the past been, a compilation of countries (Daniel 7:17; Revelation 16:15). The Beast invents deliberately slanderous and malicious lies to prevent people from buying and selling legal, essential, and normal products and services, which includes legitimate medicines, and some examples of these beastly dictators, are the vicious beastly psychopath Hitler, who had the mark of the beast on his forehead. The mildly spoken, yet beastly psychopath Stalin, who had the mark of the beast on his forehead, with his Gulags, where over one million people died, and where millions died because of the unnecessary famine that he deliberately caused, and his dictatorial purges, and his unjust and corrupt show trials. The beastly psychopath Chairman Mao, had the mark of the beast on his forehead, and who made Chinese people present the little red book, and he made them carry a photo of Chairman Mao with their right hand, which is similar to, and more subtle than the beastly Hitler salute, in order for them to be able to buy and sell, and this is because in those dark tyrannical evil Chairman Mao days, only the Chinese Communist government owned and ran every business in China, and it was a Giant Leap Backwards for the Chinese people.
There were suggestions that the Australia Card was going to be used as the mark of the beast, but Bob Hawke denied that the Australia Card would be used to prevent people from buying and selling legal and legitimate goods and services. It was always going to come to a global dictatorship one day, because the Bible is always true, and the invisible demons want to make the entire world a dictatorship, and now the invisible devil only has to make the Anglo American countries become dictatorships first, because then the semi democratic European Union will become a real dictatorship, and the Good News is that God has provided a way of escape for those who do not receive the mark of the beast (Proverbs 30: 5, 6; Ephesians 6:12; Titus 1:2; 1 John 2:17).
The fact that I mentioned Chinese history, then I think that I need to give my opinion on the recent news regarding Hong Kong, and that as far as I am concerned, then Hong Kong is definitely an integral part of China, even though there are people who are disappointed that China broke its agreement on Hong Kong with Britain, because these people always assumed that China, unlike America, was known for always keeping its agreements.
There are Australians who think that housing is the most important problem that needs to be addressed urgently; firstly, for the homeless, and then for the economy, because people who are housed, purchase goods and services for their residences. There are voters who think that the Coalition might have a greater tendency to be more susceptible to the unpatriotic, anti Australian, and anti human syndrome, rather than wanting to serve the people, because they think that they Coalition are more likely to have real estate investments, or because of being the secretly bribed or blackmailed puppets of their puppet masters and paymasters within the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, who Australians think have secretly usurped the will of the people, but they are 2 sides of the same dirty coin.
This is because the secret devil worshipping corrupt elements within the main honest real estate industry, who have the mark of the beast, have made puppets of what were once public servants and the representatives of the Australian people. Australians know how the corrupt and greedy elements within the generally honest real estate industry can bribe or blackmail politicians of both major political parties, and some Australians think that this is because both major political parties have lowered public housing stocks in Australia, because they are all susceptible to the unpatriotic anti Australian and anti human syndrome, merely for the basic fact that they have human nature, and especially because in any septic tank like Australia is, then the solids have more chance to rise to the top. This resulted in a housing crisis in Australia, within the corrupt elements of the real estate, and we know of the former Australian State Labor politician, Milton Orkopoulos is a convicted paedophile, who was also convicted of supplying drugs, and that he was sentenced to over 10 years in prison, and a former Queensland opposition leader Keith Wright was also convicted of paedophilia, and there are others. The corrupt elements within the real estate industry want to bribe or blackmail enough senior politicians of both major political parties, and perhaps they may have secretly filmed some of those senior politicians, and we know that Adem Somyurek has been spied upon, and secretly filmed and possibly falsely accused of branch stacking, because he may have been to say certain phrases, and then goaded into saying them, to have that type of reaction or answer at the time, and it was done in a despicable and underhanded way when he thought he was having a private conversation with a supposed friend. Much of the films of him that would give the correct context is kept secret, because he might not have wanted to be a puppet of the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, and that this is probably only a distraction for the fact that all Australian parliaments have been stacked with puppets of the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, and the corrupt septic tank system knows how to give incentives to Adem Somyurek to get him to lie for them to make the corrupt system appear pure.
I think that Adem Somyurek probably was involved in branch stacking, because people have said that nearly everyone in the Labor Party has for decades been involved in branch stacking to some extent, because people may not be able to become a Labor parliamentarian, unless they branch stack, so that the Labor Party can wrongly exonerate the puppets of the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, and sideline any resistance to the corrupt elements within the real estate industry. Adem Somyurek has denied branch stacking, and so I will and must give him the presumption of innocence, unless he is found to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, because that is one of the essential principles of justice. The Banking Royal Commission was aware that some banks, along with and corrupt elements of the real estate industry have enough money to bribe Australian politicians, and to hire private detectives with miniature cameras and listening devices to secretly film and record Australian politicians, in order to make them their secret puppets, rather than have them be servants of the public. The following policies should be refined and made better, and the suggested figures can be readjusted, but only to make it possibly fairer, more just, and more equitable.
Where I suggested a 15 % administration and facilitation fee in this economic recovery plan, then that could be variable, as unbiased experts and accountants would give their suggestions, and this should be done preferably by private companies, because the government has difficulty to organise a drink up in an alcohol warehouse. Where I mentioned a quarter of the household income as rent for public housing, then it could be a fifth or a sixth of household income as rent for public housing, and where I suggested a 15,000 dollar incentive for companies to rehire former employees, then that could be lower or higher than that. Private companies such superannuation companies, who want more workers to be their members, might want to fund the renovations of houses, where the owners of those houses would pay that money back, along with an additional facilitation fee of 15 % would be added to each loan, but there should be no interest paid on that administration and facilitation loan for those home/shed/garden improvements and that amount would be paid back with one quarter or a fifth or a sixth of the household’s income, until it is repaid, and those companies should not pay tax for one year, in order to establish this job creation scheme. This means that the government or private companies like superannuation companies would have all the money they need to rebuild the economy, and at no overall cost or very little cost to the taxpayers or the budget, and possibly a reasonable profit for the taxpayers and for the budget, or for private companies, and this will create much employment, which will significantly add to government revenue. If the renovated house is sold within 5 years after a renovation, then the owner might have to pay a higher percentage of administration or facilitation fee for that service for renovations.
There could be a scheme such as the purchase of an air conditioner, gardening equipment or other things for the home, shed, or garden, like a fridge and other appliances, and which has to be valued at approximately 5,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars to be eligible for that 15 % above the principal of the loan, which is the administration and facilitation fee, for the economic recovery and job creation scheme, and where the home owners would have to organise their purchases, and do all of that homework themselves, and where the government or the private companies then have to approve it, and pay for those approved goods or services.
This would create many jobs, and result in the purchases of many building products, and many household items that will help Australia’s very needy people, and rebuild the economy, and create many jobs. For 15 billion dollars, which is a pittance of the Federal budget, then the government can build 75,000 transportable log cabins at 200,000 dollars each, that are made as kits in factories, and then built on site, and this will alleviate the problem of homelessness and problem of excessively high rents, and rebuild the Australian economy, because lower rents means more disposable income from the poor that would stimulate the economy. If this had been done years ago, then Australia would have saved many Billions of dollars during this recession. There could be people who think that the corrupt elements of the real estate industry want their puppets in Australia’s parliaments to artificially create the situation where more public housing is sold off to these beastly psychopaths in the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, who clearly have the mark of the beast. With regards to people who cannot pay their mortgages, then the Federal government should purchase those houses as public housing stock, and charge the household a quarter of the income of the household as rent, until the former homeowner(s) can afford their mortgages again.
The Federal government should print the money and pay the banks for purchasing those houses, and after 5 years, the householders should or could be back on their mortgages, and their new principal of their loans should be the original principal at the time their houses became public trust houses, and minus the amount of rent that was paid to the Federal government during that time of renting their former house, unless the government wants to continue to keep the house as public housing. The money to buy all of those houses should come from money printed by the Reserve Bank of Australia at no interest, and this will not create inflation, because the money will go to the banks rather than into the economy, and the banks will have more money to lend to businesses, and the government will own those assets that the banks had owned, before the mortgage repayments became a problem for those homeowners. The term job keeper scheme might or should be called the work for the job keeper payment, or work doer payment, even as work for the dole is, because it is not fair or just or equitable for society, for people to get money for doing nothing, because there is a work for the dole scheme, and so it is fair, just, and equitable for job keeper to be consistent with work for the dole. With regards to the aviation and tourism industries, then perhaps the government could pay for the cost of maintenance for their planes, and those who lose their jobs could assist tradesmen to build public housing for the work for the job keeper scheme. There are Australians who would like the government to purchase their home as public housing, and rent it back to them for a quarter of the household income, and be placed on the same benefits and money as the pension, and most of them would be able to manage on that, and cope with that, until the economy recovers sufficiently enough for them to obtain work again. There simply will not be as many jobs in some sectors of the economy, and perhaps a housing trust house or unit along with the pension payment, along with a 15,000 dollar incentive for companies to rehire former employees, may be as practical and as good as it gets for workers who lose their jobs because of this recession, and perhaps those unemployed people who are over 50 years of age, should have the equivalent to that of the pension benefits and payments, and perhaps the work test should be optional for those over 50 years of age, until the economy recovers sufficiently, and the rest of the jobseeker payments needs to be increased, along with rent assistance that needs to be increased, until the housing and rental crisis has been alleviated. Homelessness is not fair, just, or equitable, and so it should be rejected as a policy, and insatiably greedy banks and the insatiably greedy corrupt elements of the real estate industry and the bribed or blackmailed Australian politicians have real estate investments.
The Australian politicians should not ask any predatory bank or the predatory elements of the corrupt real estate industry, or other predators, as to what constitutes fairness, justice, and equity, because a paedophile should not be asked if paedophilia is just, because a paedophile cares only for his own selfish wants, rather than what the consequences of his selfishness has on his victims. The Australian politicians should rather ask the victims for what is fair, just, and equitable, because the prey knows the answers to those things much better than the predators. There are many genetically true blue Australians, who are like those predatory paedophiles, but where they prey economically on adults, and many of those adults have families, and Australian parliaments have become saturated with puppets of the predators in the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, because both major political parties have reduced publicly owned house stocks, which benefits the corrupt elements of the real estate industry and themselves.
All Australian politicians need to say, and genuinely commit to making fairness, justice, and equity the New Normal, and this would include abiding by International law. We know that the Labor Prime Minister Ben Chifley sent in the Army to break up the Miners Union strike, and the Labor government under Prime Minister Rudd who has 50 million dollars and who is married to a woman who has 250 million dollars, and who received Federal government contracts, raised the pension age from 65 years of to 67 years of age, and I want to say that I have no problems with how much money people make, as long as it was earned legally and morally.
The Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke confessed, after Paul Keating, took that position from him, that Bob Hawke and Australia’s richest man at that time, Kerry Packer, were secretly best friends for decades, even while Bob Hawke was the leader of the Australian Council of Trade Unions. Prime Minister Paul Keating, of Irish ethnicity, alleged that he did not want the British Monarch to be the Head of State for Australia, and he was a pig farmer who saw how his pigs would put their snouts in the trough. There are people wondering what his daughter, Katherine Keating, was doing at Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion, and she was photographed with Prince Andrew, also known as Randy Andy at Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion, and people can verify this unless the Internet has censored this, and was Bob Hawke or Paul Keating ever secretly filmed on Epstein’s Island.
There could some people who might be wondering if Paul Keating knew that money is needed to build secret nuclear shelters. There are Australians who think that Australia should have a registry of people who own secret nuclear shelters in Australia, both foreigners and citizens, but that their locations should be kept private. We see that Epstein’s madam, Ghislane Maxwell is going to be in same facility where Epstein is alleged to have committed suicide, or from where he was given an elaborate jail break masquerading as his suicide, and it is alleged that coronavirus is at that facility.
We have seen how there is censorship, and I was watching Max Igan’s videos on the Crowhouse Homepage web link, and his entire YouTube channel was deleted by YouTube, but his videos are now on Bitchute, and many Australians want him to have his say, because Prime Minister Paul Keating’s daughter has been to Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion with Prince Andrew. The fact that he says that Covid 19 is a hoax, and for which he was censored, then perhaps he may be correct, because the devil wants a New World Order, perhaps a Corona Hoax World Order, and he will only use Fairness, Justice, and Equity if it is his only way to achieve that, because who can be against fairness, justice, and equity, but the invisible devil could Only do it as making a virtue out of necessity, because the devil has no virtue, and his real motive is to deceive in order to destroy, because he knows that he has to create a New World Order before he put in the abyss for a thousand years by a strong invisible angel (Revelation Chapter 20). Since there must be a New World Order, then there are people who prefer that it is based on the fairness, justice, and equity model, where the Beast allows cash to be used as Legal Tender, and if my document has put sand in Satan’s Evil carburettor, then he will be angry with me, now, and even after he is released for a little while, after he has been in the abyss for a thousand years, even as he is angry with Julian Assange (Proverbs 4:16, 17; Revelation 12:12; 19:19-21).
I really hope to see all of you there with me, because you can be if you want, because God wants all humans to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4).
Many Australian political commentators said that Bob Hawke was the best Liberal Prime Minister that Australia ever had, and he was proud of that, and he never asked them to please only refer to him as a Labor Prime Minister, and this is because both major political parties are 2 sides of the same dirty coin, because many of them from both major political parties, either work either secretly or inadvertently for the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, and they know that the British Doctors helped Boris Johnson survive coronavirus, and it could be because many British Doctors and the British Prime Minister and other British politicians have investments in real estate, and his comment regarding workers at aged care facilities was unbecoming, and he has the money to go to an expensive aged care facility, because he may have real estate investments. Prime Minister Bob Hawke said that the world would end in a nuclear war, and these things have made most Australian politicians want a secret nuclear shelter, and Australian politicians are prepared to lie to get the money for secret nuclear shelters, and food is being hoarded and stored in secret nuclear shelters.
We know that no man can be his own father, and that no woman can be her own mother, and we know that human males and human females come from human women, and but only with the help of a human male, and so where did the first woman come from, or where did the first man come from (Genesis 1:26; Romans 1:20). The first man was created from the dust of the ground, and the dead are dust in the ground, and so because the first woman was made from first man’s rib, then Jesus did heal every sickness in Ancient Israel, and God created a once non living man from the dust, then God can and will bring dead people back to life (Genesis 2: 22; Jerimiah 32: 27; John 5: 28, 29).
I do not think that the coronavirus facemasks and gloves are of themselves; the mark of the beast on the forehead or on the right hand at this stage, but they can be used in that way, even as the little red book and the carrying of pictures of Chairman Mao was not of itself the mark of the beast, but it was used that way, because Chinese people could not buy or sell unless they showed these things, and millions of people died of famine during the Great Leap Backwards, and this was used by Chairman Moa, to try to make all Chinese people become secret devil worshipping false atheists, or deceive them into being agnostics or even atheists, because the invisible demons want all humans to have the mark of the beast either on their foreheads or on their right hands, because they want all humans to share with them in their same punishment (Revelation 12:9; 14:9-11; 20:10). The secret devil worshipping Beast at the time of the end of the world represents the antichrist countries at the time of the end of the world, and one definite way they can be readily identified, is by the fact that they follow the example of the Beast who prevents people from buying or selling legal and essential goods and services, and the Beast blasphemes God, and those who dwell in heaven (Revelation 13:4, 5, 6).
We have heard of the ridiculous and malicious slander that Russia paid citizens of Afghanistan to kill soldiers of an invading country, in order to protect themselves and their families, and where that invading American army has killed many Afghan citizens, and to suggest something like that, is as ridiculous as saying that Britain paid citizens of France to kill invading murderous Nazi German soldiers in WW 2. It is as ridiculous as saying that if Japan had invaded and occupied Australia in WW 2, then those Australians would not have retaliated against foreign invaders and occupiers. Afghans have never been fond of foreign occupiers, and the British and the Soviet Union were in Afghanistan, and the Afghan people resisted occupation, and it is no different today. If any American says that they really believe that, then they are either liars and malicious slanders, or they are stupid, and if a majority of Americans say that, then all countries can see that Anglo America has lost any legitimacy to be the global hegemon, and that they should construct a world that excludes Anglo America, and we know of the constant malicious slander of the innocent independent journalist, Julian Assange, and the journalists, politicians, and judges in Britain and Australia do not stand up for this innocent journalist, because they want to get money from alternative energy in order to build secret nuclear shelters, because they know that some British judges are secret devil worshippers who have the mark of the beast, and who hear the voices of the invisible demons in their heads, and those British judges obey the orders of the invisible devil, while pretending to be pure (Luke 22:1-6). This is why some people who the invisible devil does not like, have a difficult time receiving justice, and the invisible devil does not like Julian Assange, because he prevented WW 3. These and other lies and slandering, is because Hillary Clinton blames Julian Assange and WikiLeaks for losing the 2016 election. The Clintons who have secret nuclear shelters, wanted to exploit the Russian territory of Crimea, and Hillary Clinton caused a coup in Ukraine to try to exploit Crimea, and the beastly psychopathic President Bill Clinton, who illegally and immorally bombed Serbia, that was based entirely on malicious slanderous lies, in order to distract the media regarding his filthy affair with the much younger Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton has the mark of the beast on his forehead, because he began a war against Serbia based entirely on lies, and many of the European Union countries have the mark of the beast, because they have recognised the unilateral declaration of independence of Serbia’s province of Kosovo. Bill Clinton has been on Jeffrey Epstein’s private paedophile brothel plane, named the Lolita Express, dozens of times, and which had secret miniature cameras on it. President Bill Clinton was close friends with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who secretly filmed American politicians on his Island for blackmail, in order to usurp the vote of the American voters, and that Island has been named Paedophile Island. We used to hear of the term global warming, and even run away global warming, but now those people who want to obtain taxpayers’ money by putting their snouts in the public trough, to build secret nuclear shelters, do not use the term global warming anyone or only very rarely, but they only use the generic term of climate change, which is a combination of warming is some places of the world, because of deforestation, and cooling in many other places of the world, because of the current Grand Solar Minimum phase of Solar Cycles, and these things concerning solar cycles can be verified at Wikipedia. These lying climate alarmists say that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, and so they should only use the term global warming, rather than climate change, and they do not do that because they do not want to say that alleged global warming causes a colder climate in the Northern Hemisphere, or say that deforestation causes warmer climate in Australia, so they use the term climate change, rather that global warming these days, because they want taxpayers money to subsidize their alternative energy, and the Australian politicians want the boomerang dollars that comes from that, as they do with overpriced road works, because of deliberately slow road works for more boomerang dollars to come back to the politicians who threw those dollars to fund those overpriced slow roads works, and other public works, because they want the boomerang dollars to build their secret nuclear shelters.
It snowed in the Sahara Desert, and the Northern Hemisphere was much colder than usual, last winter, and the reason that Australia is having a warmer than usual winter so far, is not because of alleged global warming, but because of the bushfires, that may have been deliberately lit by corrupt elements within the real estate industry, for cheap land, and Kangaroo Island, which is surrounded by ocean also had bushfires, and there could be some real estate interests on Kangaroo Island. The malicious slanderers of carbon dioxide who want to put their snouts in the public trough to build secret nuclear shelters, have a vested interest in deliberately creating bushfires in Australia, for as long as the gullible Australian people believe their lies. The Roman Empire controlled North Africa 2,000 years ago, and Roman historians record how it was a tropical rain forest at that time, until logging and farming came to that area, and that it became a desert after 200 years because of that, and that desert spread southward and was only stopped because of planting the Great Green Wall of Africa, otherwise the desert would have spread to all of the African Continent, and the once tropical rainforest climate of north Africa became a desert climate, and carbon dioxide was not the cause, but deforestation was the cause, and the bushfires in Australia has caused the equivalent of deforestation in Australia, which has led to the warmer than usual winter in Australia so far.
There are many Nobel laureate PhD scientists at 1000frolly PhD – YouTube channel, who say that carbon dioxide does not affect the climate, and I would rather believe them, then those who want to get taxpayers’ money to build secret nuclear shelters, and I am not against alternative energy, but they should compete without government subsidies, if they can, because there is nothing wrong with carbon dioxide, and which is only 0.4 % of the atmosphere, and which is a vital plant nutrient, and the video is titled: “Maths make a mockery of the climate change theory: Alan Jones”, and humans only contribute 3 % a year to global carbon dioxide, which the oceans dissolve 100 % of all of that 3 % , and the oceans dissolve 100 %the other 97 % that is created each year by nature and undersea volcanoes and other volcanoes on the land. The so called environmentalists want to put their snouts in the public trough to build secret nuclear shelters that will also kept them safe during WW 3. They want Australian politicians to give them taxpayers’ money as subsidies for alternative energy, in order to secretly give much of that money, which is called boomerang dollars, back to Australian politicians, and where some of them may have been secretly filmed by the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, so that they can all have the money to build secret nuclear shelters for themselves, because they know that China and India who have a longstanding border dispute, and that both have nuclear weapons, and all Australians, including some journalists, and all the people of the world would like to have a secret nuclear shelter if they had the money.
There are among some Australians, and they are those Australians who know the truth, and they believe that if those from the corrupt elements of the real estate industry, who have the mark of the beast, and who are in league the invisible demons, then these might ask the invisible demons to torture Adem Somyurek in the invisible realm, to compel him to lie to make the corrupt system appear honest (John 8:32; James 2:19).
The lying and murdering Beast wants to unite Mankind in Devil worship, and global dictatorship, with the New World Order, and with a cashless society, or if that does not work, then the Beast could try Fairness, Justice, and Equity and allowing cash to be used as Legal Tender.
The following is not meant to be a substitute for receiving a Doctor’s advice, but it is a summary of my recollection of some of what a Doctor on the Internet has said, and who I consider to be knowledgeable, genuine, and honest, and people should go and do their own research on “how to strengthen the immune system” from Doctors, and I want to keep him anonymous, because it would not surprise me if Satan and his human servants may be using the coronavirus possible PLANNEDdemic to try to unite all of Mankind in Global Dictatorship for the purpose of Global Devil worship, in a Corona World Order, and he will fail in this attempt to unite the world in Devil worship, but could deceive more people with a Fairness, Justice, and Equity New World Order, that allowed cash as Legal Tender, but Satan will fail to unite all of Mankind in Devil Worship, even as he failed with his attempt at the Tower of Babel (Proverbs 21:30).
Modern medicine cannot cure old age, and many old people who allegedly die of coronavirus, would have died of something else, or that had some other health problems that contributed to their death, and if they did not have existing health problems, then they would have easily survived Covid 19, and perhaps doctors are given secret money for each person they falsely claim died from Covid 19, or they are hearing the voices of the invisible demons to falsely say that it was because Covid 19, and secret devil worshipping Doctors are not stupid, or above lying, in order not to be tortured in the invisible realm by the invisible demons (Luke 8: 26-31).
Secret Evil worshipping Doctors are not above being greedy for money or nurses, and they know that the human body had to be created, and many of them know of the invisible demons, they and could be secretly in league with the invisible demons, and some Australian politicians know this, and Australian politicians they that they will have to go to hospital one day, and possibly be seen to by a secret devil worshipping Doctor, and if any Doctor says that they do not believe that the human body was created, then they are Definitely Lying, because they are not stupid, but it does not necessarily mean that they are secret devil worshippers, but it could be because Satan’s system has pressured and/or them to become false atheists, but they are decent people, who have the mark of the beast, and Satan only wants them not to serve God, so that Jesus will destroy them at his Second Coming, and there is no need to fear them, but there are Doctors such as the WW 2 Nazi Joseph Mengele, also known as the angel of death (Revelation 9: 20).
There are Doctors who think that if a person has an optimal immune system, then they can survive Covid 19, except for the very rare occasion where a person has an optimal immune system, but might have a genetic disposition to be susceptible. Things that weaken a person’s immune system are: a low nutrient diet, low vitamins, low amino acids, low fatty acids, stress, not enough or poor sleep, smoking, alcohol, drugs, junk food, high glucose from high carbohydrate food.
Things that strengthen the immune system are: Selenium from Brazil nuts or from supplements, and which is necessary for key enzymes; and then there is natural vitamin C which is an antimicrobial and stimulates the production of white blood cells that fight infections, and it should preferably come from foods such as sauerkraut and other plant foods; and then there is Vitamin D, which supports T cells and protects against pathogens, and the Sun in summer or Vitamin D 3 supplements in winter are the best sources; and then there is Vitamin A which provides the structural integrity of the mucosal cells in the sinus and respiratory centres, and the best sources are cod liver oil, butter, and other sources foods; and there is Zinc that increases T cells and protects against viruses; and then there is Garlic, which ranks highest for killing off viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus, and mould; and then there is Colloidal Silver which starves off the oxygen supply to certain microbes, and is a very potent anti viral; and then there is Olive Leaf or olive leaf extract, which is an anti viral and it protects the immune system; and there are few other things that strengthen the immune system, but these are the main ones that strengthen the immune system.
