Hezbollah leader: “The possibility of war with Israel is very high this summer and I may no longer be with you”.
https://ejmagnier.com/2019/04/20/hezbollah-leader-the-possibility-of-a-war-with-israel-is-very-high-this-summer-and-i-may-no-longer-be-with-you/
I just read this right now, and don’t know how I feel about it. The possibility of war with the Zionist state is always high, but the words of sayyed Hassan nasrallah makes it sound imminent. Sounds like the sayyed thinks right now is the opportune time for Israel to strike, because trump bends to their every wish. If it happens, it happens. I just pray for calm to come quickly in the middle east, seems like the only guarantee is the continued prospect of war and bloodshed. Inshallah we see the collapse of the Zionist and Saudi regime within our lifetimes. Then maybe the US will finally pack up and leave.
Those alleged words by Nasrallah sound quite defeatist compared to how he usually talks. I recall Nasrallah assuring that they will defend Lebanon and its riches in the sea with all their might.
It seems, from Elijah Magnier´s own Twitter, that Hezbollah officially has deny the veracity of what it is said in that article:
https://twitter.com/ejmalrai/status/1119678358495866880
That Israel would wish to start a war on Lebanon now when Trump is in power is clear, the more when Trump wants to control the world´s oil market, hence his envoys menacing everybody who has oil, like Venezuela and more recently Nabih Berri. Other thing is that they would really do it and who will be defeated were such a war to start.

Thanks for that tweet. Very interesting. When I said I don’t know how I feel about this, that is what I mean. As those words are not the way sayyed hassan Nasrallah usually talks. He’s usually very calculated, and I don’t recall every hearing him talk about himself in such a dramatic way about something that can possibly happen in the future. The only way I can see him saying something like that, is if he wants to show the urgency of the situation to the members of his org. Which can be a possibility. Since besides a few tit for tat measures against Israel, things have been relatively quiet on the Israeli-Lebanese front. So he could have said that for that reason, for the sake of urgency. I like Elijah Magnier, as I think he calls it according to what he sees and here, but he could be mistaken here. A lot of false stories come out about hizbullah, sometimes from random people, sometimes from Zionists and sometimes even from honest sources. I don’t know where this story falls under, even though I don’t believe Elijah is making this up. I guess we will find out soon, as it looks like sayyed hassan is going to give a speech within the next few days.
Thanks for sharing the tweet. Take care.

Tell me about it, I felt sick when I found out Pompeo was in Lebanon like a few weeks back. They should have grabbed him by his ears and threw him into the Mediterranean. Yes, I believe you are correct. Trump seems to be a president who completely rolls over for the Zionist state. Some of the previous stooge presidents at least sometimes denied Israel(very rarely, but It did happen on occasion). Trump would give them the sun and the moon if he could. Lol and some people actually thought trump was going to come in and raise hell against the Zionists and other powerful interest groups. Maybe he’s just making the worlds longest/slowest move in a game of 4-d chess lol. If they saw Trump giving the Zionists, the entire universe they would say “sit back, relax and watch this grand move by Pres Trump, he’s setting them up, don’t worry about it, relax.”
“Other thing is that they would really do it and will be defeated were such a war to start.”
I believe you are correct about this also. What they don’t realize is a country like Iran and their allies, would literally fight them for the next 100 years just to make sure they never sleep in peace for the rest of their lives. They don’t understand the beliefs, or the respect these people have for their martyrs. To them a martyr is the equivalent of a rock star in the western world, or maybe even more. The fervor of Shi’i martyrdom is a very unique thing in this world. Especially if they die fighting known criminal entities like the US or Israel and anyone aligned with them. The individual fighting those entities would know that he is on the winning side of history, this comes from their belief in God almighty. I can guarantee you they would be the braver men on the battlefield whenever these two sides eventually face off. Take care, peace.
I don’t think that Nasrallah sounds defeatist at all. He is being realistic and pragmatic, as he must be in his position, and covering all his bases. He must be Target no.1 for Israel, and no amount of security is ever 100% guaranteed not to fail or have a weak link at some point.
Good leaders prepare for the inevitable, to ensure that the loss of a leader doesn’t mean the end of the campaign.

You could be right my friend. He could just be covering all his bases. It seems like he thinks the next conflagration would be a big one. As the article says they expect the Zionists to hit 1-2 thousands targets the first day. He could just mean the entire leadership of hizbullah would be wiped out in the next war, including himself. As I said in my above post the Israelis after all these decades of confrontation still have no basic understanding of their foes. Hizbullah is an organization with a sound philosophy, and an honest, honorable goal. The movement won’t just wither away if you kill sayyed Hassan, or even 1,000 sayyed hassans. This is a group that still commemorates, and repeats the stories of its martyrs from almost 4 decades ago. Those were the first martyrs the group offered. They will never let the memory of sayyed hassan die. I remember reading a quote in the past, from sayyed al Khomeini, the father of the Islamic revolution, and the man who gave his seal of approval for hizbullah: he said something along the lines of “the death of a martyr is like a bell that wakes up thousands of souls.” If the Israelis were smart they wouldn’t target him at all, because if the manage to kill him, he would become a symbol they would have to see for the entirety of their existence. Even if they manage to never kill him, he has already become that symbol. I guess these are some of the tough positions oppressive regimes are put in sometimes.
From pictures of him, he’s got some grey in his beard. As another with a touch of grey in my beard, one does reach a point when one realizes that this old world will continue on someday and you won’t be here.
How come the future has to take such a long, long time?

Happy Easter!
There are those in pursuit of the intangible, believing it to be a tangible thing, and those in pursuit of them. There are those in pursuit of the passions of the mind – the road of excess, ‘not yet at the palace of wisdom’.
And there are those who’ve tasted of the waters of life, and lose themselves trying to find them again ( and those in pursuit of them ). Three poems exploring these ideas, two new and an edit of an earlier poem.
My Wayward Heart
my winter coat
is frayed and worn,
the frost is
on the run,
I left my home
in early spring
to find that
wayward one
where the mountains rise
above the clouds,
and the fierce
winds unfurl,
I caught a trail
both heart and hale –
left by my
wayward girl!
across the valleys
blue and wide,
on through the
green morass,
I came at last
to Harbour Town
to see that
wayward lass
where did she go?
I came to know,
down by
the waterside;
’twas a sailing ship
full well equipped,
that took my
wayward bride
across the waves
of the ocean deep,
filled with
teeming shoals,
a bridal wreath
of mountain heath
I bear my
wayward soul
the years have passed
three score and ten,
since the day
she did depart,
I will remain
and one day fain
to find my
wayward heart
my winter coat
is frayed and torn,
there’s a breach
in the skies above,
I took to the road
in early spring
to find my
wayward love…
The Measuring Cup
if everyone had
a measuring cup,
their portion
to declare,
there’d be enough
to go around
with plenty left
to share
but men are creatures
of greed and lust,
trained to need
and want,
to walk the earth
as lord of all,
until they’re old
and gaunt
it’s then they fall
upon hard times,
and cannot buy
their way,
it’s then they plead
wth the Lord of All;
please help me
in Thy way!
if every man had
a measuring cup,
his portion
to declare,
there’d be enough
to go around…
with plenty
left to spare
The Song of the Wind
o’er the moor
across the heath,
this heart it
moans and wails,
my snaking path
with chaos wrought
a shipwrecked dawn,
an ocean pale
whence I’ve come,
whither I go?
to know my heart
is danger rare!
the wild main
forsaken once
has taken him
and left you there
the booming weald
may sing my praise,
rejoice in
my caress,
but that which madmen
dared to dream
I’ve come
to repossess
come hither
all you children fair,
with eyes that look
but do not see,
my steeds await
and I must go
hear my whisper
heed my plea
Some thoughts on poetry;
Poetry is an attempt to render the beautiful or sublime without the burden of engaging the logical or narrative thought process.
Poetry as an art form, may predate literacy.
Experience is the golden thread that gives a work life. The master poet weaves his own experience through his telling, in the most creative, interesting or imaginative way possible. If he has done his job well, the reader will find him/herself identifying, on some level, with the protagonist.
A happy end is best, but not always possible. Whatever the case, the most important thing is that the poet strikes the imagination in the reader.
A poet mixes heaven and earth.
A good poem should set the reader thinking, it should move his emotions, it should “take him away” or give a moment’s respite from this world we’re in.
More thoughts on poetry;
There are days that feel like poetry, and days that feel like the last thing possible is poetry. The master poet seeks to ‘become poetry’ on the days conducive to it, and to ‘make poetry’ out of the days that aren’t.
Poetry is a creative act, as well as a state of consciousness.
Poetry is contemplation.
Poetry sows spiritual seeds – whether its breaking up the old, or pointing the way ahead.
When Rumi said, “standing to perform, not knowing the melody, unaware of the beat…” he spoke of the eventual realization that the poet/soul, must have; the key to poetry/the creative act is always here and now.
As long as we’re imposing ‘yesterday’ onto it, it will not work, or come about.
When a poem’s done, it’s a snapshot of a unique moment, but also a state of consciousness, or being.
Everyone was, is or will be a poet.
A Master Poet resides in all of us.
Thank you Dimitar for sharing. I enjoyed the reading. as almost always has a quote that fits just beyond the seeable sum and soul of a thought.
I’m glad, thank you Hornswaggler.
I’m sure there’s a great poem in that name, friend. As soon as I find out what one is. But I’d be interested to hear what it means for you…
Dimitar,
Well the dictionary definition of hornswaggle is to decieve cheat or trick someone. Thus a hornswaggler may be called a trickster. Is this me then or is this the world? Am I a hornswaggler or have I been hornswaggled by the world? Am I tricking myself by interacting with this beguiling world or has the world tricked me into having this thought to begin with? In this age it is becoming harder to tell truth from fiction despite all the “information” that is available to us thanks to the internet and the omnipresent screens. That’s sort of the intrigue of the name for me. Cheers to you.
“Am I a hornswaggler or have I been hornswaggled by interacting with the world?”… I get it, yes, we become a good hornswaggler ourselves, but need to one day put our hornswaggling behind us, and replace it with a greater ‘code to live by’ so to speak. We’re looking for a code that brings us into harmony with all of life. We usually end up getting what we want once we’ve given up trying to ‘swindle’ it out of life. Thy will not mine, etc. Cheers, D.
But if gvt was a horn swaggler,(and there is plenty of proof that they are) wouldn’t it take a hornswaggler(or at least someone who can practice hornswaggling well) to confront or defeat hornswagglers?
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, is due to deliver a speech on Monday, April 22, to mark the birthday of Imam Mahdi – according to Al Manar TV.
We can expect him to assess the current geo-political realities in and around the region, with his usual clinical analysis of the events and scenarios as he sees them, and at that time I guess, he will address what Elijah Magnier wrote about.
Magnier is a credible source, as far as I know, so what he said cannot be dismissed out of hand, and of course, Nasrallah is not known for pulling punches, so lets see what happens on Monday.
Nasrallah’s is renowned world over for his bravery, astute leadership skills, charisma and his unparallelled veracity.
He does not fear martyrdom and the enemy, though armed to the teeth, cower in fear at his every move.
As he said recently, despite the provocations and machinations of the enemy, the Resistance has its red lines, and it has its finger on the trigger.
Hezbollah does not seek war, but neither does it fear it.

The year 1949 saw the invasion of Communist China. Chinese soldiers defeated the tiny Tibetan army and occupied nearly half of the country. China imposed a “17 point agreement for the peaceful liberation of Tibet” on the government of Tibet in May 1951. This agreement gave huge power to China to exercise its rule over Tibet.

The Chinese government has never made a formal apology for their atrocities in Tibet. Today in China, the authorities call for Japan to issue a formal apology on an alleged genocide issue. But the reality is that China itself does not take responsibility for its own mistakes.

The OP’s post above begins precisely by already giving the https://file.wikileaks.org/ link, and the index it leads to begins with a 1984 item. BTW, the notice for the Index appeared in a sidebar in a recent LewRockwell.com post. It was a very useful and timely notice, as this Index is not generally known.
This older archive is spreading like wildfire which is a good thing. But, the story is generally told that it is an insurance dump, or response to Assange’s arrest.
So, because there is so much nonsense floating around now about Assange, for me, I like to work factually.
A few posts further along, one minion tells about a Caitlin Johnson article that has clear factual information in among all the false stories being spread. This was a good article and I had it as a tab on my browser to take a look at it in more depth. Just an hour or two later, it was gone.
It is clear that anything will do regarding Assange, any story, misrepresentation, falsity, but the factual info is being overshadowed by the fake and in my view, there is method in that madness. Assange is being dehumanized and the real true story is being overshadowed. Yes, a good archive to link to, but not a “the data dump we’ve all been waiting for”.

Those naughty Chinese, blocking bbc and cnn propaganda and upsetting the zionazi-gay psywar machine. Bad…bad.
Maybe the israeloamericans will “find” the Chinese somehow orchestrated the Sri Lankan terror bombings today and provide all their web “helpers” with predigested “facts” to spam the web with.

Sri Lanka to use China’s Maritime Silk Road for infrastructure development
https://m.economictimes.com/news/defence/sri-lanka-to-use-chinas-maritime-silk-road-for-infrastructure-development/articleshow/51755088.cms
“Sri Lanka reiterated its active participation in the Belt and Road Initiative put forward by China. The two sides will use the development of a 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) as an opportunity to further advance infrastructure development,” said a joint statement at the end of Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe’s four-day visit here.”
Odd coincidence the Tibet spam appears the same day of the Sri Lankan terror attack.
This sort of garbage is precisely why I thought Wikileaks was originally a CIA set-up designed to defame China to the benefit of the Dalai clique, led by the world’s paramount hypocrite, CIA asset since the 1950s and keen student of fascism under the tutelage of the SS officer Heinrich Harrer. But then Assange seems definitely to have bitten the hand that fed, hence his current predicament. One really has to admire the fanaticism of these Sinophobe agitators who expect us to believe that the continuation of theocracy, feudalism, serfdom and the medieval tortures and punishments that accompanied them was in the best interests of the Tibetan people, and that the introduction of modern, health, education and communications, plus the huge declines in illiteracy and child mortality, and the great increase in life expectancy, plus the emancipation of women, were and are all bad things imposed by the dreaded ChiComms. These idiots also seem to think that the immediate imposition of a string of US and NATO bases and a SOFA, that would accompany the return to power of the Dalai clique, would be good for the Tibetans. For the brothel-keepers and drug pushers, as everywhere where ‘US Forces’ spread their wings, of course, but for the Tibetans? I rather think not.
Very sad news from Sri Lanka. I have visited this island twice and was touched by the warmth and care of the people. This is a horrible attack:
“BREAKING: 20 dead, hundreds injured as explosions hit Sri Lankan churches and hotels
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-04-…lombo/11034476
More than 20 people have been killed and some 280 injured in a series of explosions at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka.
The death toll was confirmed by the director of Colombo’s National Hospital.
The attacks hit three churches — St Anthony’s in Colombo, St Sebastian’s in Negombo, north of the capital, and another in the town of Batticaloa — during Easter Sunday services.
Three separate explosions were also reported at the Shangri La, Cinnamon Grand and Kingsbury hotels in the centre of Colombo.
Alex Agileson, who was near St Anthony’s Church, said buildings in the surrounding area shook with the blast.
St Sebastian’s Church posted pictures of destruction inside the church on its Facebook page, showing blood on pews and the floor, and requested help from the public.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility.”

Let’s see-a ‘little-known Islamist group’ with immense expertise at co-ordinated attacks. ‘Chatter’ that an attack was imminent. The Sri Lanka Government ‘alerted to the coming attack by a ‘foreign’ power’. More, no doubt to follow from the usual template. Oh-‘No claim of responsibility’, and an almost immediate response by the authorities who could not prevent the attacks, but who knew the perpetrators and attempted to arrest them with hours. Odd, odd, odddd. And the disinformers here are already blaming ‘Buddhists’ for attempting to foment sectarian conflict between Moslems and Christians. The smell assaults the senses. As usual.
Now that ‘claims of responsibility’ have surfaced, I did the mandatory Googling, and, sure enough, the ‘jihadist’ videos claiming ‘responsibility’ were ‘discovered’ by Rita Katz and her SITE operation. Katz, of course, is pure Zionazi and a very ardent Islamophobe, and her mysterious ‘organisation’ somehow ‘finds’ these videos before the rest of the world’s media, time after time. In other words, this was a MOSSAD op. no doubt part of a process to prepare the world for another round of Holy Genocide against Moslems.
A very interesting old article

All roads lead not to Rome but where?
http://www.antiwar.com/justin/j121701.html
This is why members of Congress can conjure up a Special Prosecutor and spend almost 2 years probing the non-existent Russian “interferance” into the 2016 US presidential elections.
They can investigate Russia because that is something that they are “allowed” to do by those who control them.
Israel on the other hand, is something completely different.
The entire US mainstream Media and every government institution and agency in the US, including both houses of Congress and the White House and the State Department, the Department of Defence, the CIA and the FBI etc. all cower in fear of Israel.
So even when Israel and those working on its behalf are caught red-handed perpetrating serious and outrageous crimes against the US or US officials or US citizens, everyone from the president downwards, either ignore it or work to actively cover it up.
Yet these are the same spineless cowards who have the nerve to accuse and sanction Russia, without jusy cause.
Israel and its agents deliberately shit all over the US and its officials daily, yet all they ever do is to grin and cheerfully clean it up, but somehow they believe they can talk down to Russia.
They should thank God everyday, that Russia has a leader like Putin, who is not easily moved by anger.
But know this: the bear can be provoked for so long and no more!
We should all know that nothing – except salvation – lasts forever, and the person who succeeds Putin, might not have Putin’s tolerance threshold.

I am reposting this very good article from Caitlin Johnson, which I found on another thread. It is specifically on how to debate Assange detractors but in fact is a good primer on how to debate anything. It covers some common fallacies that invalidate any argument and gives many good tips on constructing a solid argument and points out the traps to stay out of. It also makes clear when not to bother arguing at all.
This is the zerohedge version, its quite long but very educational for anyone involved in discussion anywhere, particularly online with the numerous (and sure to increase in the future) trolls. I first went to medium.com where her blog is based as the page is easier to read there (no ads) than zerohedge but got a notice saying that the page has been suspended. Which tells you all you need to know about the stance on free speech of medium.com, I guess, clearly not fans of Assange, truth or fairness in the world:

@ Mulga Mumblebrain,
I saw your late comment in the last café and gave a partial response. I would also like to address another part (avoiding the sphere of noo):
‘I think that this Field of Wickedness is what drives the monsters who rule over us, and which some more ambitious of these evil-doers have worked to make contact with and draw diabolical power from, over the millennia. To commit atrocities, particularly against children, seems to be a preferred path to approach and enter the infernal regions, and draw power from them.’
/moveable-feast-cafe-2019-04-17/#comment-639312
I would say that not only do the evil-doers access the ‘Field of Wickedness’ their victims get to visit it too, though without consultation and most unwillingly and are then scarred for life, no compensation. If you accept that we have close relatives in other species, we are firmly of the animal kingdom and so on some level retain the potential that all Nature’s children have of being ‘red in tooth and claw.’ Its not some special place, its a human propensity and one well recognised. What keeps back the red tide of blood are the social taboos and codes of behaviour and conduct that have been formulated and applied over the aeons by thinking people, wiser ones who deserve the ‘sapiens’ part of homo-sapiens. Not all mind control or social conditioning is (or perhaps ‘was’ would be a better word in today’s climate) evilly intended. But it has undoubtedly always been in effect, for good or ill, since the first thought crossed the first thinking mind.
Making contact, as you put it, involves the overt breaking of these taboos, as only acts rendered so disgusting as to make most reel away in horror can forge the bond that the evil-doers need to ensure that participants comply and keep forever silent. Think of the hazing rituals US college boys get up to, its the same principle but ratcheted up quite a lot. It makes the prospective evil-doer complicit and the diabolical power is an illusion, the bait to hang on the hook so that the right marks (those willing to do anything) are selected. They are all lost, caught in a trap of their own making, as they have crossed the line (regressed back to beasts) and cannot go back. Most of them know it too, there is no power to be had in such a situation, just ‘might makes right’ and they deserve no pity.
I think you’ve got the gist of the Empire Dynamic of Evil at work, OM.
I think it’s days are numbered, however, because unlike millenia ago, there are too many people catching on now.
The very next thing I watched, after reading your post:

3) Nancy Pelosi in the same town in Norther Ireland, very same day, that a rising star Irish female journalist Lyra McKee is shot and killed………..
And ALL THREE are staged “Narrative Changers”.
And involve sexual perversion and “human sacrifice” (murder)

You are cherry-picking again, Bro. I could cherry-pick too and build an equally solid? case to answer yours but cannot be bothered to waste my time..
In one school in Ballarat in Victoria, where priestly paedophiles like George Pell operated, 50 or so ex-students have committed suicide over the years as a result of the abuse, and God knows how many others have lived blighted existences. Pell is a very great hero to the Right here in Austfailia, particularly beloved of the Murdoch cancer for his hatred of gays and dedicated opposition to Greens, environmentalism and climate destabilisation science. How such obscurantism and his dedication to child abuse made him fit to be a Cardinal and such an ally of the Right in their incessant culture wars, is known best of all by Rupert Murdoch, and Karol Wojtyla, those monuments to ‘Western Civilization’.

@Mulga Mumblebrain
You watched to much TV. Even IF we are ‘animals’ – THAT kingdom in no way or form is claw and blood as you try to project.
99.9% of the time almost all animals and certainly the higher developed ones are not killing – I spent hundreds of hours in the churches of God – the forest – AND never saw that claw and blood EVER ! And more absolutly certain NOT within a species or even family of species !
The way nature works is out of abundance and yet at the same time perfectness, in that there is nohting man made which can compare to it (not even a square meter of forest).
YOU enter a morals point of view from your human perspective, or in other words total subjectivity, something you have been carefully conditionend for.
Why ? Because the invers of the projection tells you that humans are claw and blood animals (rooted in nature) and by that objectifying the subjective viewpoint, or in shorter terms becoming supremly stupid !
That’s the material BEASTS are made of, anti-god creatures which finally can only devour themselves. There is a very, very good lecture by Jacques Derrida about Deleuze on tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_r-gr3ccik which declinates this transformation. Although they are Deconstructivists their work as ‘Philosphers’ in their logic nonetheless unveils fundamental truths.
Modern humans are not animals, in no way even with claws and blood, you still haven’t grasped what happend back there when they were thrown out of paradise, and what it stands for.
Hi, Dan. I’m agnostic about ‘Paradise’ but am very much aware that this world was paradisiacal before we set about destroying it for money. I do agree that Nature is not ‘red in tooth and claw’. I rather see that as human projection onto the other creatures of this world. Predators only take a decent sufficiency, and usually the weak, old or diseased. Humans, well a fraction of our species, kill for pleasure and out of greed. A small fraction, I would say. Unfortunately that fraction, the psychopaths, have created a system, capitalism, that is inimical to Life on Earth, and it has destroyed us.

poroshitko out:
National exit poll data:
Vladimir Zelensky -73.5%
poroshitko – 25%
Yes, and it seems Porkie has already conceded – too large a gap for him to fiddle/cheat the vote as he did in round one. Apparently he says he is going to stay in politics – hmmm.
https://www.rt.com/news/457167-zelensky-wins-presidency-ukraine/
Zelensky did say something which felt odd to me – he said this proves this can happen in any of the former Soviet Republics – why just refer to the former Soviet Republics and not the world or EU? The USSR collapsed 30 years ago – are Langley writing his speeches? – they live in the past. Which other ex republics are they going to replace the incumbent President with a comedian/actor or complete novice?
The news reader on RT said he used to tour a lot and be in films in Russia and abruptly stopped when the war on Donbass started.
My feeling is that nothing will change. It will be interesting to see if Russia will recognise him or not. He is Macron 2.
The Ukrainian lawyer Marguerita Montayan-?-apparently has done a piece with what possibly happens now….one of her thoughts is that the USA will keep the ukrainians hungry due to disastrous economy and that either by deliberation or neglect the conflict against Donbass will be kept going is what I think I understood from a brief synopsis by mrs…perhaps a comentator with russian language here can check MM out….at least one gets a salary there in the army..personally I believe Tymoshenko being ” gracious” so far as Poro has been knocked off the scene without too much effort from her…will be waiting in the wings and pressurising the media to keep asking can Z change things and if so what and how… .then she will step in with due criticism when he fails……nothing innews how the right sector etc is feeling at the moment….lost Poro but are their opportunities for their own interests and agendas with Z?????

“Americans have allegedly granted Pyotr Poroshenko immunity guarantees and warned future president [Vladimir] Zelensky’s team to let the predecessor alone,” the Strana (Country) outlet writes citing a source in Washington.

@ Павел
This TASS news item is not clear at all. Quite bizarre in fact.
Has the U.S. granted to Poroshenko immunity from prosecution in the U.S.?… Or “granted” him immunity in Ukraine?…
The former would make legal sense – if he was facing prosecution in the U.S. courts – which, apparently, is not the case.
While the latter would not make any legal sense whatsoever, since the U.S. government has no jurisdiction in Ukraine.
Speaking of clumsy journalism…
… TASS knows something … note and observe how the new president will act.
“… TASS knows something …”
Maybe. Something. But nothing about what they put in that article. (They “say” that the Ukrainian outlet “Strana” “says” that they have “heard” from “sources in Washington” something – which in turn makes no sense even on its own!…)

A rather self-evident misdirection. It was not TASS who posted their sorry rubbish here: you did.
In Soviet times, TASS (ТАСС=Телеграфное агентство Советского Союза) was a reliable source for learning the official thinking of the government at least. Sadly, it is not even that any longer. Not to mention their shabby reporting of matters which are well beyond the walls of Kremlin, as so well exemplified above. You should not unquestioningly believe just everything you read in MSM in general, be it from the “west”, of course – or even if it comes from Russia.

It seems too incredible to believe, but, in the US, everywhere is seen an obviously planned campaign to replace every possible reference to Christ with the “easter bunny” in national media. At the Pittsburgh Pirates game today they even handed out easter bunny ears for spectators to wear, and showed spectators wearing them endlessly.
The people wearing them probably thought this was light-hearted humor. In my view it showed a hidden intention, congruent with trying to remove crosses from all public places and replacing “Merry Christmas” (US. In Britain, “Happy Christmas”) with “happy holidays.”
So, once again: Happy Easter !

“Social media don’t teach us to dialogue because it is so easy to avoid controversy… But most people use social media not to unite, not to open their horizons wider, but on the contrary, to cut themselves a comfort zone where the only sounds they hear are the echoes of their own voice, where the only things they see are the reflections of their own face. Social media are very useful, they provide pleasure, but they are a trap.”

That was an interesting piece, thanks. He made some interesting points about the way identity has morphed in a sort of ever changing show that you put together yourself now rather than what I, an oldie, see identity as, a concrete and baldly basic description of more interest to officials filling forms than to me who supposedly inhabits it.
I agree with him regarding ‘community,’ the term is only valid in real time off-line with real and awkward others that have to be adjusted to or incorporated into the picture some way. With the best will in the world, online communities will never provide for the human need to belong, in some sense, to the people you live amongst–and that does take skill and practice to navigate, skills not necessarily communicable online.
I might add his book, ‘Modernity and Ambivalence’ to my pile to be read, so thanks for that pointer.

In 2016, 24,338 tons of physical gold were traded, which was 43 percent more than in 2015, according to Claudio Grass, of Precious Metal Advisory Switzerland.
The creation of a new gold standard by BRICS is also a step to end the US dollar’s domination of the global economy
“As Beijing and Moscow understand that America used the dollar to control the world, by implementing a new kind of ‘Gold standard 2.0’ they want to distance themselves from this control. Furthermore, the vast majority of the people in Asia sees gold as superior, or ‘real’ money, something the West has forgotten, because of all the paper wealth (credit) they have accumulated,” said Grass.

Socialism versus the Family
Socialism is a distortion, in a collectivist direction, of human beings’ natural need for familial connection with others. But socialism and the family are incompatible. The family requires independence from governmental interference in order to flourish, and parents know its needs better than government officials can. Meanwhile, the breakdown of the traditional family leads to greater need for state assistance. The ethos of self-gratification that weakens commitment to the family also leads to increased desire for services from the state. Hence it is no accident that, historically, advocacy of socialism has always tended to go hand in hand with hostility to the traditional family structure. Anyone opposed to socialism should defend the traditional family and anyone concerned to defend the traditional family should oppose socialism.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7qrKi6hlPo
What a cockamanie idea pushed by all the Western Foundations all of a sudden. Socialism destroy the family, they say. This one is a direct quote from the Heritage Foundation, without even a link to the quote and without even the poster’s views. Just a quote and a youtube.
Here is the link:
https://www.heritage.org/markets-and-finance/event/socialism-versus-the-family
I call it nonsense, nonsensical and a bunch of so-called freemarket economists (i.e., hard capitalists) are saying this more and more. Its become a meme … Socialism Destroys the Family, they say.
These people think that socialism is the opposite of capitalism. A better description would be that socialism is the opposite of liberalism in the true definition of both terms.
As socialism is the natural civilized way of souls, carrying families
in neighborhoods, Sociopaths hate both of them.
And aren’t families doing so well in Free Market paradises like the USA and UK.

Somehow I stumbled upon this. A young boy is invited on stage at a Foo Fighters concert, declares he’s also a fan of Metallica, gets a guitar and starts playing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkVlbmHjR9Y
And he may keep the guitar ;-)
Let me attach a story. I’m a longtime fan of the British band The Cure. Being a fan of The Cure is something for life. The band itself is kind of reclusive in public, but they have a very active fan site. From there I know for instance, that the band came to know about a British girl, fan for years, who had never been able to go to a concert of them while being severely physically handicapped.
The band sought contact with her, and said ‘don’t worry, we will come to you’. They grabbed their gear, went to her house, and gave an intimate private concert for her.
No earnings involved, no cameras or publicity. But they gave her the evening of her life.
Somehow I don’t see someone like, say, Beyonce doing this.

“On the (Empire’s) Waterfront”
“Only a certifiable fool would miss the fact that the majority of we Americans are either knee deep in ****, financially, health wise and even spiritually, or very close to it.
The smell of war, phony war, and the smell of greed has fogged up the thinking of most of us. Where do I begin? Come on, how many times that Uncle Sam ‘Bangs the drums for war’ before the truth will sink in? One needs not go back further than the dawn of this new century to see and smell the ****. September 11th, 2001 was the shock the puppet masters wanted, and so far it still works. With all the diligent and comprehensive research done by so many scientists and investigators (some mainstream and some not) the stain of that lie will always paint over the truth. Connecting 9/11 to what followed is easy: The excuse to not only destroy and occupy oil rich Iraq, and mineral rich, key pipeline area Afghanistan, was part of the PNAC (Project for a New American Century) plan. The real ‘Deep State’ has continually hoped to dominate the Middle East before the Chinese and Russians get too deeply involved there. As the late General Smedley Butler put it in his 1935 essay War is a Racket, the money people (banks) and contractors make a fortune on ANY war we get into… ”
Of course all of this is natural in the current system. It allows for this and holds these outcomes within the very same words people associate with “freedom” and “democracy.” It’s always important to learn the principles these terms are built on, in order to create a world where people won’t get fooled by empty slogans and blind rhetoric.

Monday, Monday….re: Easter Attacks
If what the Sri Lankan authorities are saying i.e. that this was done with international organizational support and financing, then it is logical to predict with a minimum of hysteria that these attacks constituted merely a trial run for whatever nefariously obvious or even hidden purposes will be revealed by future repeats. These types swim within a larger Muslim community upon which they depend for protection and aid.
Why Sri Lanka? really? Where the Muslim population is about 10% and the Christian is 7%? and where the Buddhist military there is no push-over when it comes to dealing with insurgencies of Muslims/Hindus politicized in unholy ways. ( Tamil Tigers). No one is intimidated nor will one inch be surrendered and whoever planned this fully well knows it.

of coherent context; besides the fact it was wrong…human eggs are in the ovaries .
And then there is the lawyer ( male) who proudly dresses his boy in skirts.( She can’t say anything about it) My friend asks herself, ” What is wrong with these parents?” She works in an elite section of Sacramento and says at least the European tech parents who immigrate to work in the international corporations are not yet looneytunes when it comes to protecting the innocence and natural development of their children.
Your’re not in Kyiv anymore: Ground zero mobile home park clubhouse: Looks as if between the Smart TV, the Cable Company’s surveillance apparatus,and complaints of folks locked out of Turner Classics for the duration of the Poroshenko/Zelensky performance that the Ukrainian caretakers got busted bad by the owners… They were summoned outside and lots of yelling in Russian followed…. Sigh, in a way, too bad about a way of life ending….the smart gas meters on the lines leading to the sauna/pool area will end those midnight trysts most likely…As the surveillance state makes further inroads.
Maybe it IS time to move to Idaho?
All kidding aside, ioan is not as coy as I pretend, for metaphorical fun.
He hears things, and because he cares about everybody, he urges caution, in an email already getting old:
“What I just heard about Bitcoin : there will be an upwards in values until somewhere in October this year, than will fall again below 2500 of its actual value. The Chinese particular investors are buying cryptos (have no idea which one, presumably Bitcoin) but not the state institutions, they are still buying Gold en masse. On the Russian front, is probably the same thing happening.
Keep on and be careful.”
Of course there are endless predictions by everyone for every time frame.
But he is a temperature sensor from another part of the world….and all data can be collected and cross-referenced, especially that which comes from different perspectives….Russian and Chinese, for example.
However my current concern is 1000 times more Theory Than Price….and when one gets into the Depths of Theory……Price Means Nothing At All! Now, that is.
It’s all about Global Adoption or Global Abandonment…..in the Sweet Bye and Bye. (Later)
Yet all feedback is warmly welcomed, from the Trading Floor of Current and Future Price all the way to the Rarified Ayre of Loftiest Peak of Satoshi’s Vision.
Let me break down the feedback not with agreement or disagreement on Price…..but by doing a very short little Theoretical Day Hike Up the Side of Mt Bitcoin:
First WHICH Bitcoin Slippery Slope are we even on???
It needs to be understood that the word “Bitcoin” is just alphabetical code that means many different things to many different people:
1) For the Crypto-Sceptics and Crypto-phobes it is every token idea of every blockchain project yet begun none of which resonate with their identity or value system….so from this mass-perspective, There’s “no ‘there’ there” as Peter Strzok said about the Donald Colluding With Vladdy….it’s ALL Chimera, Illusion, A Mirage….Fake Financial News.
2) For the majority of Crypto Dabblers and Serious Players it is Bitcoin Core….or BTC….the “Reserve Crypto-Currency you used to have to buy before buying any other “coin” or “token”. (There is a distinction…but not here, not now…). Now you can buy with fiat (USD, BP, EUR, etc) using your credit card. Everything changes. Rapidly.
3) For Roger Ver, Peter McCormack and other it is BCH ABC which has “forked off” in disagreement twice. FYI there are polite , friendly forks and there are unfriendly contentious ones: “You disagree with us (Community of Developers, Miners, Whales)?? “Well then, Fork Off!” Roger did so, twice.
4) For CSW, Calvin Ayre and the London Blokes on BSV Channel “Bitcoin SV is THE REAL Bitcoin”
Now you see, ioan, what the Vast Majority of People (like the Chinese and Russian sources you heard) almost certainly mean when they discuss The Price of Bitcoin…………is BTC….or what some call Bitcoin Core….what is supposed to be now useless for small payments and is instead “Digital Gold”…….or a Store of Wealth….but in no way, say CSW and Calvin Ayre and the London Blokes on BSV Channel…is BTC the Real Bitcoin!!
BSV is!
BTC is a Highjacked Fake, they say! It’ll go not to 2500, longer term….but to ZERO!
So this is rather perilous hiking…..even for a Day Hike. You May Have No Idea Where You Even Are!.Nor may the next hiker you run into, either!
So, be careful! Yes!
“Never risk more than you can afford to lose”.
On the other hand, if you just lock the doors and stay home, what do you certainly lose, in terms of what you could discover.???
We are here to learn. That’s what the Vineyard Cafe Hive Mind Crypto Project is all about: Shared Learning. And I have sent out messages (emails, private conversations) 1) to the French-Tahitian Realtor on the other side of one transaction I’m in. 2) To the MBA student cashier at the Indian Restaurant I frequent most and so forth and so on and on…..
And, since this is the Cafe and we need a music break, let’s have ONE, with a song that’s code for a very important point Coming Soon To A Cafe Near You:….which is Very, Very Deep Theory: “ONE….or NONE”.
(Otherwise, as in Love….except for Leary’s Communal Vision…it just gets too confusing!
You’re The One!
You’re the one that I long to kiss
Baby, you’re the one that I really miss (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You’re the one that I’m dreamin’ of
Baby, you’re the one that I love!”

Ok, ok. Maybe that mid-sixties sentimental slop isn’t in Vogue anymore.
Need something a little edgier, more contemporary with New World Disorder:
You’re the One (take two) decades later, Greta Van Fleet:
Babe, you’re so young and pretty
But you’re evil, you oughta know
Darling, ain’t that a pity
Won’t you stand yourself and show
You’re the one I want
You’re the one I need
You’re the one I had
So come on back to me.
You’re the one I want
You’re the one I need
You’re the one I, you’re the one I had
So come on back to me
Yeah, come on baby.
Yeah, Baby! That’s The Edge I’m lookin’ for! The Fleet-ing Value of ONE out of Many, Many Crypto!

Yeah, I think that song best describes the Chase for Crytographic Value:
NADINE
As I got on a city bus and found a vacant seat,
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street,
I shouted to the driver hey conductor, you must slow down
I think I see her please let me off this bus
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine
Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you
Darling you got something else to do
I saw her from the corner when she turned and doubled back
And started walkin’ toward a Coffee-Colored-Cadillac
I was pushin’ through the crowd to get to where she’s at
And I was campaign shoutin’ like a southern diplomat….
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine
Honey, where are you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you
You’re up to somethin’ new
Downtown searching for ‘er, looking all around
Saw her getting in a yellow cab heading up town
I caught a loaded taxi, paid up everybody’s tab
Flipped a twenty dollar bill, told him ‘catch that yellow cab….
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine
Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I catch up with you
You’re up to something new
She move around like a wave of summer breeze,
Go, driver, go go, catch ‘er for me please
Moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window trying to make her hear….
Nadine, honey is that you?
Oh, Nadine
Honey, is that you?
Seems like every time I see you
Darling you’re up to something new!
Be careful!
In that crypto-graphic traffic.
Litecoin might’ve been the Right Coin for Charlie Lee……but not for you!
LOL.
Instead of re-fighting the original crypto wars and saying things like Bitcoin ABC is a coin, which is just wrong and is a software, not a coin, just like Bitcoin Unlimited builds software and is not a coin, and both of these hash for Bitcoin Cash, let’s listen to a very cool interview with Vitalik Buterin. (I think he is an extra-terrestial :-) .. 24 years old and spent 1/3 of his life in cryto currencies).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-i_mTwL-FI&feature=youtu.be&t=2072
My input on markets and price … don’t try and call the crypto market. You will fail every time. Reason is it is on the one hand a true people’s market, something that we’ve probably not ever seen in our lifetimes. On the other hand, it is still a small market and people will do what people do. They will be whales that create short term bubbles, price up, and then the inevitable crash down, and these folks make money on the up and the down. I am convinced that tether is being used for this bigtime. If you want to call this market and trade in it, you need to be about 100% committed, learn the trading skills and do it with total energy and focus. Always be ready for crazy up and down swings and for me, I sit those out as it is not my thing.
BTC is not going to go to 0. It has no utility now, but is beginning to be used as a large settlement layer. If this goes, it will give it the utility that is needed outside of the store of value stuff.
Afghanistan and Tunisia (fwiw) have just announced the issuance of sovereign bonds in Bitcoin (BTC). In my view it is the right way to approach a settlement vehicle between countries. We will see how that turns out.

Moral Non-Zionist Jew
February 24, 2019
I was raised an Orthodox Jew. I studied Torah and Talmud for over 40 years. As a Real American who
loves Justice and Equality, I can tell you that Judaism is the most racist, misogynistic, homophobic,
violent religion I have ever studied. All the moral failures and hatreds that occur in Christianity and Islam
(lets tell the damn truth here) came from Judaism, the Fruit of the Poison Tree. Almost EVERY time I say
this right out loud, I am vilified, condemned and sometimes even physically assaulted. The JDL and
AIPAC has called me an enemy of Democracy, and a Bad Jew. I am no longer a Jew, just as I am no
longer a smoker, and for about the same reasons. Poison is not good for your lungs, or your soul.

… Extremely Clumsy “Journalism” …
How is it possible in a “communist” or “socialist” country medical bills can incur massive debt to the point of people selling their property and body organs ?
So, when you see those Cupid arrows of love in the eyes of OBOR commentators think about ghost cities … lax labour laws … high education fees … unaffordable outrageous medical bills … families forced into selling their properties and completely ruined.
I don’t exactly know how to call such a system, but I am absolutely certain it has nothing to do with communism or socialism.

Notre Dame: An Omen
By Dennis Prager
https://www.creators.com/read/dennis-prager/04/19/notre-dame-an-omen
Civilization is produced by people not religion. Where ‘christ’ alive today, physicly, he’d lead the attack on the abomination that passes for ‘christ’ianity. Judeo bullshit lapped up by poddles. Infiltated and castrated from the inside, like priests can’t marry……………was Jesus married……………study the bible, it’s there in plain sight. All the stupid christian dogma, collection of scheckles………….like, who does that, who worships the scheckle? So if you are a western christian, visit a synagog, you’ll be right at home, with the chosen.
Christ going after today’s money changers in the temples would be a wonderful sight to see. And of course, quite horrifying to the money changers who back Macron, who has made sure the money changers don’t pay appropriate taxes and who diverts monies to the money changers, instead of spending the funds on renovations and fire systems in monuments like Notre Dame. It was crony capitalism that burned Notre Dame, not some fantasy of hate that Jesus Christ would be the first to denounce.
Dennis Prager
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Prager
Christian morality is fine and humanistic and akin to other philosophies and religions in its emphasis on mutual respect and compassion for others, but ‘European Christian Civilization’ is something else entirely. Need one recall the internecine religious wars, such orgies of bloodshed, the various Inquisitions, autos da fe, witch-hunts and persecutions, and then this ‘civilization’ spread outwards and the hundreds of millions exterminated by Western ‘Christian’ Civilization. Going on would be boring.
Dennis Prager writes in his article “Notre Dame:An Omen”:
“I don’t know if a worker accident or a radical Muslim set fire to Notre Dame Cathedral (as
they have scores of other churches around Europe). In terms of what the fire represented, it
doesn’t much matter. What matters is the omen: Europe is burning, just as Notre Dame was.”

Was the Fire at Notre Dame an Act of Terrorism or an Act of God?
Fire burns at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque at same time as Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral.

“When people stop questioning authority, authority wins… many times for bad and not good. This Easter season we all should remember that without whistle blowers and men and women of justice, we regress back to the jungle of ignorance and greed. Did not Jesus of Nazareth speak out for truth and fairness? They crucified him NOT for wishing to take over, rather for pointing out the flaws of society and of his own religion at that time. Did not Chelsea Manning , Julian Assange and Eric Snowden do the same? To sit back and forget the essential good of those three and do and say nothing reminds one of the old Easter Sunday joke:
‘On Easter morning Mary Magdalene goes to the room where the 11 remaining apostles are hiding. ” Fellows, I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is that the master has resurrected like he said he would. The bad news is he wants to know what happened to you guys.”'”
A tad outside the discussion on empire’s war mongering but it is in the realm of the empire’s utter and complete corruption to support its war making activities-behind every war, there is a bank:
– three of which are only alive today because the Fed engaged in an unprecedented $5.7 trillion cash for trash (you go maxine)
http://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/04/maxine-waters-needs-to-subpoena-details-of-the-feds-dirtiest-bailout/
____________________________________________
Based on data that Wall Street On Parade has newly compiled, there is a strong suggestion that the Federal Reserve conspired with at least three of the largest Wall Street firms to hide their teetering condition from the public during the financial crisis, despite the fact that these were all New York Stock Exchange listed companies with a duty to reveal material, adverse financial information to the public in a timely fashion.
If Maxine Waters wants to leave her mark in history as Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, she will subpoena records from the Federal Reserve on its biggest and dirtiest bailout program, known as the Primary Dealer Credit Facility (PDCF). She and her colleagues must then demand answers from Fed witnesses during the hearing Waters has scheduled for May 16 at 10:00 a.m. The upcoming hearing is titled “Oversight of Prudential Regulators: Ensuring the Safety, Soundness and Accountability of Megabanks and Other Depository Institutions.”
The Federal Reserve is the prudential regulator of the largest Wall Street bank holding companies – three of which are only alive today because the Fed engaged in an unprecedented $5.7 trillion cash for trash operation with the three during the financial crisis. Until the public knows the truth about why the Fed bailed out the insolvent Citigroup – despite its mandate not to lend to an insolvent institution – and why it bailed out Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch, which were broker-dealers, not major commercial banks, there can be no confidence in the U.S. financial system.
There can be no trust or confidence because we strongly suspect that the reason for these unprecedented bailouts comes down to two words – derivatives and counterparties. These banks were all so intertwined as counterparties to each other’s insane levels of derivatives that the Fed had no clue what to do other than to save them all. That thesis would also explain why the Fed funneled trillions of dollars in cumulative loans to foreign banks – which also just happened to be derivative counterparties to the collapsing Wall Street firms. These interlocking concentrations of risk between derivative counterparties are just as dangerous today as they were in 2008 because the Fed has not forced the banks to follow the law and put these derivatives on exchanges or central clearing facilities. The majority of the derivatives remain as dark, private over-the-counter contracts between counterparties.
‘House Negro’ Maxine to bite the hand that feeds? It is to laugh! Pity Black America, ‘represented’ by such as she.
