The ghost of late US First Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, who was driven insane by the alleged
Russian threat and jumped out of a window while in a mental asylum shouting, “The Russians are com-
ing!” seems to live on. In fact, it appears to be haunting Romanian Defense Minister Gabriel Beniamin
Les, the Russian embassy in Bucharest said in a statement, commenting on the defense chief’s Friday
speech at the Black Sea and Balkans Security Forum 2019 in Romania’s Mamaia.

I believe that Stalin asserted that Romanian was a profession, not a nationality. This one appears to rent by the hour. Just as the Merkins like their stooges-always keen to please.
Quite funny ! According to old Koba’s remark, I am a Romanian by profession, who is proud of being born in Romania. Many have cursed me for that in my short history, my provenience being that of a mixture.
You know why is funny ? because Stalin himself was not Russian, though he managed to kill a “few” Russians and many others in His short history. What can one say : a man of Fate.
Perhaps you should think of yourself as Dacian.
MH17: “The parents of a brilliant aerospace engineer killed on MH17 on her way to Western Australia say the atrocity would never have happened if Ukraine had closed air space over a rebel-controlled combat zone…
The couple have described the atrocity as a crime against humanity, listing Ukraine’s failure to close air space over the war-torn area as the top reason it happened.
The Dyczynskis said diplomats who attended a meeting in Kiev with Ukraine’s foreign affairs minister Pavlo Klimkin three days before the attack also failed the victims.”

The DM has a search facility where you can look for news chronologically on say ukraine, via the front page and scrolling down the right hand side until you come to the Search box, select Site and enter ukraine. You will then get a list of articles containing that word, which is not visible on their front page, and which doesn’t allow for any comments.
Still no word, anywhere, in the Free Press sewer of Mahatir’s firm and repeated assertions that the ‘investigation’ was rigged from the beginning to blame Russia.

My last Wednesday’s reading of the Mars- constellation as “blocked Trigger” appeared applicable.
http://astromundanediary.blogspot.com/2019/06/blocked-trigger-supposedly.html
Mars today on the grade of Angela’s birthday, which has happen to be earth-elements birthday since 1802.
Elements? Coming generations will appreciate the psycho/physical key of realizing one’s ‘dominant element(s)’, as a basic step to understand oneself.
Today is a new beginning (Mars) with earth-elements ‘burning heart’ aka Sun, aka creating power. Everyone feel free to join in.

Looking to the Stars
by ioan
Stars are moving
gently shining
on the distant vault
turning, dancing as yourself
in the humans world
You are looking up to them
they are looking down to you
like a pupil to the others,
but you know now, who is who
“but you know now, who is who”
that’s the mark of wisdom, you sing it
and I dance it.
Thank you for the essence!

The Personal Touch-…which Dennis always enjoyed…..for Sean, Alabama, amarynth. and…??
Email sent this morning to my “Doberman” business partner, who gave LF personal guidance on his Crypto- Independent Film Producer ambitions:
Me to Doberman:
“While driving out to San Bernardino yesterday, I got a call from L F.
LF: “What was that crypto you told me about a couple of months ago??? Was it Bitcoin SV…..(BSV)….???”
Me: “Yes.”
LF: “DAMN! I wish I’d paid more attention to you THEN, when it was a LOT lower! But I’ll pick up some now. Thanks, brother!”
I am copying to LF with this email because I don’t just wish that friends would do well financially……..but even better in knowledge, in wisdom….in deeper understanding…. not merely of personal impact of ideas……….but also of potential societal/civilizational impact
ERGO, for you and Luis:
A few weeks ago while on craigwright.net after reading an article I was greatly impressed with………..I signed up for notifications of new posts/articles by CSW.
Below is a notification I received Thursday night of a new post by CSW.
SUBSEQUENTLY FRIDAY AND THIS MORNING I HAVE RECEIVED ABOUT A DOZEN MORE!
I expected about 1 per month. A nice easy flow. Now we have A FRICKING FIREHOSE OF IDEAS, teachings from Dr Wright…..
Why the sudden blast???
I think it may have something to do with BTC blasting through $10,000 and now past $11,000 in less than 48 hours.
And certain globally impactful..(ahem!) …”Conspiracy Theories”.
Your READING (pun intended! LOL) would be appreciated!
Bro 93
SEE BELOW I did a quick check to see if the second notification was just a repeat of the Thursday night one….,BUT NO! Looks like a ton of new CSW material, firehose fashion…# 2 was another article. So I expect the same of 3,4,5,6-12 or so.
Oh, by the way, whereas “Utility, mass-adoption is where it’s at, PRICE IS MEANINGLESS….(not for human passions, it isn’t…LOL) !” BSV, after a few days of lagging…is also taking off. $242 as of this email.

Hi,
Craig Wright just published a new post named Bitcoin and the costs of consumption. You can view the full article here:
https://craigwright.net/blog/bitcoin-blockchain-tech/bitcoin-and-the-costs-of-consumption/
END
I have a ton of reading to do, but Sean…. THE one article ………that pertains to us all, like birth and death………….is the one on TAXES.
Here ya go: https://craigwright.net/blog/law-regulation/taxing-crypto/
I think the anti Anarcho-Crypto Capitalist perspective is morally and politically sound.
I know I have a great Debate on my hands from the Nice English Lady. LOL.
Gotta run!
No, I’m not going to debate. Rather, I’m going to respectfully give you a prescription which of course you can choose to fill, or not. The prescription is simple .. start reading wider than Craig Wright. I think a good start would be to read the White Paper and do some comparative analysis between that, and what Wright says now, desperately trying to get back to relevance and re-inventing a past. Second thing you should read, is 1984, and then go and compare with Satoshi Vision.
The thing that puts me off the most, actually revolts me, is his whittling away at personal responsibility and personal sovereignty. Wright wants to tell us (and he does tell us) what we can use our money for in a massive system which he controls, and he says so clearly. He wants to set the values for us and his system will control us into obeying his values, all the while building government and banks Western style. It is there in the so-called vision, clearly spelt out.
I say .. f that Vision! Not in stature, but in typology of vision I would add him with people like — well, let me not say before they try and take me to court as well.
The man who wants to control someone on welfare to the extent that they may not buy a desert … Go read it, and weep – a welfare recipient may not buy a damn cookie in Wright’s system. It is there, clearly spelt out – it won’t be there for long, because Wright removes stuff, and rewrites stuff. I guess the poor person on welfare will not be allowed to go to the park and kick a ball around on a Saturday afternoon. They have to be searching for work. Read it, and weep! I guess I will not be allowed to give something extra to the person on welfare. 1984 Redux! The man who is going to control it all with his system up to the food that you and I purchase. He is going to control the government, the courts, the everything, even the poor person on welfare and everything will run on his system. Can anyone see the problem yet? Can anyone see the 1984? Can anyone see the problem with Craig Wright defining what I, or others can spend money on, defining what our ‘commons’ should look like and how people should behave, while he defines what is proper and what is honorable in his view which may be demented? No Way José! Anyway, I’ve wasted enough time.
So Bro, cannot debate with you as I have no interest in someone who wants to systematically control the world, wants to tell all of us what integrity is, busy redefining his past, calling everyone else in the space a criminal, all the while funding his company with gambling profits. I truly hope that you will start reading wider because Wright is not building a cryptocurrency, he is attempting to build a system of control that he owns and his sheep say Baaaah!
Yes…I agree with your assessment of Craig Wright.
It’s somewhat telling that he has a problem with Julian Assange.
Shy of the scrutiny no doubt.

A second part of my message today:
Miss Merkel’s Tremor
https://mundanestagebuch.blogspot.com/2019/06/miss-merkels-tremor.html
The most underrated girl, in our time, particularly in Germany.
Mundo, I don’t know why, but I searched your Merkel Tremor for insight into the significance of the Movements of the Planet Mercury…and all I came up with Trump in the same sentence with Napoleon and Adolf Hitler.
My head still spinning and seeking balance, I went back to the Great American Pastime, that Masonic Game of Compass and Square, to ground myself..in 3s, 9s 27 outs.…..in something Mathematically Certain….and found this Magical Moment In Sports:
https://www.mlb.com/news/albert-pujols-homers-in-st-louis-with-angels
from today’s Angels-Cardinals game
I don’t usually pop a beer and report on sports here, but when One Home Run Blast into Left Center Field ………….conjurs up multiple other Blasts From The Past……………I prefer “A Bud” in Anheuser Busch Stadium, St Louis.
Now Albert will be a first ballot Hall of Famer (640 or so home runs…..batted .328 with 450 homes in his first eleven sevens with the Cardinals…….monster numbers, by any measure….) and like half the players in the Major Leagues is from the Dominican Republic……….and I’ve sailed to Dominica (a different island…but also in the Caribbean) and the Dominican Friars settled California for the King of Spain, establishing Multiple Dominican Missions linked by El Camino Real, and Albert is finishing his outstanding Hall of Fame career as ….An Angel…..so that brought back ANOTHER blast from the past besides those other hundreds of Home Runs he hit as a Saint Louis Cardinal:
The Singing Nun Sings “Dominica”…….a Top 40 “HIT” from 1963:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO7cD6qmydo
Dominique, nique, nique, over the land he plods
And sings a little song
Never asking for reward
He just talks about the Lord
He just talks about the Lord
At a time when Johnny Lackland
Over England was the King
Dominique was in the backland
Fighting sin like anything
Now a heretic, one day
Among the thorns forced him to crawl
Dominique with just one prayer
Made him hear the good Lord’s call
Without horse or fancy wagon
He crossed Europe up and down
Poverty was his companion
As he walked from town to town
To bring back the straying liars
And the lost sheep to the fold
He brought forth the Preaching Friars
Heaven’s soldier’s, brave and bold
One day, in the budding Order
There was nothing left to eat
Suddenly two angels walked in
With a loaf of bread and meat
Dominique once, in his slumber
Saw the Virgin’s coat unfurled
Over Frairs without number
Preaching all around the world
Grant us now, oh Dominique
The grace of love and simple mirth
That we all may help to quicken
Godly life and truth on earth
Dominique, nique, nique s’en allait tout simplement
Routier pauvre et chantant
En tous chemins, en tous lieux, il ne parle que du bon Dieu
Il ne parle que du bon Dieu
A l’e poque ou Jean-sans-Terre de’ Angleterre etait Roi
Dominique, notre Pere, combattit les Albigeois
Repeat first 4 lines: Chorus
Ni chameau, ni diligence il parcout l’Europe a pied
Scandinavie ou Provence dans la sainte pauvrete
Refrain
Enflamma de toute ecole filles et garcons pleins d’ardeur
Et pour semer la Parole inventa les Freres-Precheurs
Refrain
Chez Dominique et ses freres le pain s’en vint a manquer
Et deux anges se presenterent portant de grands pains dores
Refrain
Dominique vit en reve les precheurs du monde entier
Sous le manteau de la Vierge en grand nombre rassembles
Refrain
Dominique, mon bon Pere, garde-nous simples et gais
Pour annoncer a nos freres la Vie et la Verite
For accuracy’s sake, I seek grounding by a less addled, less free associating brain:
The name of the tune is “Dominique” not Dominica etc. It is pronounced as Dominica with a very soft ‘a’ at the end because it is French. It was recorded in the early ’60;s by The Singing Nun who performed it live on the Ed Sullivan show in July of 1964. It is in French, actually Belgian, by Sister Smile, as she was known (deceased in 1985). It is a song about Saint Dominic, a Spanish Saint, and the founder of the Dominican order.
Oh, shut up, and be grateful for the chance to work on your High School French, which you never worked on in High School……lol!
For Fans of the Power of The Personal……..scroll down in the link to the interview of Mrs Deidre (That’s French, right???) Pujols “It’s like we never left St Louis”
Oh, Louis…..that’s French too…..just like the Nun Singing About A Dominican Major Leaguers……….in A Higher Game.
“Mundo, I don’t know why, but I searched your Merkel Tremor for insight into the significance of the Movements of the Planet Mercury…and all I came up with Trump in the same sentence with Napoleon and Adolf Hitler.”
Admittedly, my Neptune made it cryptic: June 22: 1812 and 1941, Napoleon + Hitler started their adventure in Russia. Trump could have.
Why did you search for Mercury in a tremor- event?
The planets Mercury + Mars were with the Donald and his war-staff in the realm of the rich (and poor) families = Cancer, blocked to me by Donald’s Sun + Uranus in 10th house making him sensible to Saturn/Pluto in zodiacs 10. sign. The game was too low for him, he sensed that.
Continuing on the theme of “The Puissance Of Personality” in opening The Consciousness of The Individual to New and Unfamiliar Areas of Inquiry and Possible Wider Interest, I extract this from an interview quote within Neon’s latest article on the mysterious “Silent Ones” in Italy ………….involved in Russiagate:
“As for Mifsud, I never met or knew him. But, as a son of university professors, I can tell you I don’t ever recall my parents going to a hotel abroad, with one of their students; supposedly presented as Putin’s niece. So, it looks like the Occhionero family still has a lot to learn about academics; beyond perhaps the current subjects of theoretical physics and sociology.”
The interviewee is speaking of his own family, for he is Guilio Occhionero, a powerful Italian who the Clinton-allied gang in Italy decided to frame up and imprison………in order to cover their own tracks in Russiagate.
Apparently the Cabal chose the wrong Fall Guy….One Who Has Had The Demonstrated Capacity of Fighting Back…….. HARD!!

“There was a plane with 38 people yesterday, did you see that? I think that’s a big story. They had it in their sights and they didn’t shoot it down. I think they were very wise not to do that. And we appreciate that they didn’t do that. I think that was a very wise decision,” Trump told reporters.
https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/06/22/599164/Trump-says-he-will-be-Irans-best-friend
… but …
“We are putting major additional Sanctions on Iran on Monday,” Trump wrote on his Twitter on Saturday afternoon. He immediately added that he looks forward to the day when “sanctions come off Iran, and they become a productive and prosperous nation again.”
https://www.rt.com/news/462470-trump-iran-additional-sanctions/
Odd, isn’t it, that no presstitute anywhere in the Western Free Press dares to state the plain facts that the US sanctions on Iran are illegal under International Law and acts of aggression, the Supreme Crime. Such loyalty, like well-trained dogs and bitches. With apologies to all canines.

Are we entertained ?
They are for lining the cockatoo’s cage-if the cockie is broad-minded, of course.
The Woman in White
Emerging from the top of a stairway, my companion and I enter a sizeable room with my attention immediately
drawn to an immense mural directly in front of us. As if vibrating off the wooden wall, its monumental narrative conveyed profound struggle. A teeming Michelangelesque mass of figures – clothed in uniform outfits and undulating like strands of woven lightning, leapt off the wall with the scene and figures ending abruptly before a splash of white ground gave way to the sanguine wall underneath.
I then found myself being drawn into another recounting, a smaller, equally dramatic depiction of a scene no less
compelling than the first. Noticing a third painting, I think, ‘who are these artists?’ Yet another visceral moment, unassuming yet breathtaking, confronts me! There’s no self consciousness in these works. Whoever these artists are, there’s an inherent naturalness in their representation and manner of expression. It’s just what’s done. With great authority and elan, but without fanfare. There is no “artist’s stamp” anywhere. Everything serves some greater intent.
We move on into a soft-lit chamber, which, unlike the first room is clearly enclosed. The misty light appears to be
coming from directly above, with the boundaries of the room indefinable and in shadow. A melancholic warm mahogany dominates. As we complete a kind of u-shape, I notice another intramural of two or three figures ahead. I spend some time stuidying it, but can in no way recall what any of these scenes actually contained, other than that they were predominantly monochromes in blacks and greys shot through with a range of whites and were composed of muted figures coursing with energy.
I find myself regarding the painting at a distance, when all of a sudden a movement to my left reveals the hovering form of a woman dressed in white slowly emerging from the shadows!! As my eyes find hers, I notice she’s already looking directly at me as she glides past moving ever so slowly toward the far side of the room. As she’s only a few metres away, I can clearly see she is beautiful, neither old nor young, with blonde hair tied back, bright red lips, and pale wistful grey, or perhaps green-blue eyes. Eyes that won’t let go of my own, as she casually floats over to a thick mattress wrapped in unkempt white sheets, laid down on the floor. Positioning herself, she calmly alights on her back, somehow ending up under the sheet.
At the same time I’m aware that in the centre of the room, just left of the line between her and I, there’s a large descending spiral staircase. Mirage-like, it’s apparently only half there, yet it is. She’s now prostrate, those eyes
unwavering, intent, still locked onto my own. My friend, silent the whole time, now takes the lead and indicates
it’s time to leave. I’m directly beside him as we make our way out of the room in the same direction as we entered.
I’m suddenly aware that I’m flooded with strange supernal electricity, every hair on my body standing on end…
unlocking the door;
sincerity is the key

Interesting that this commentator uses the example of the Peninsular wars to make his point. It was the defeat of a French army there reported in high secrecy to Napoleon on the eve of the Battle of Borodino which made him hesitant to commit his Imperial guard (20000)at a decisive point. They were held in reserve only to mostly die in his slogging retreat. He failed to Secure the road to Moscow thereby cutting off the Russian army’s tactical retreat.
Oops not ”thereby “ in my last sentence . Substitute please “in order to” The Russian army was intact and retreated and was able to evacuate and burn Moscow and then turn around to hound Nappy all the way back through Europe nipping at his heels along the way

Thank You Paul
Yes indeed, makes one think…
For me, in Australia, I started to think Bob Hawke…
Recently deceased I could not bear to hear or see the spectacle of his Memorial;
Once I saw the DVD The Falcon and The Snowman, and heard the story of Christopher Boyce, I could think only of Bob as a CIA asset/Rhodes scholar who ‘ran’ the ACTU…think pilots strike and demise of Ansett…
I started to think of Gough Whitlam, who wanted Australia for Australians…ignominiously sacked by G-G
I now think that Australia needs an authentic revolutionary…knowing the Fate…we are Sold Out. I think of Assange…Australia is awash with petitions, but the powers that be are shutting down the means of communication, while the mess descends into smear, shame and blame…we will crush you.
History is filled with heroism…
Thank You for your calm and steadfast presence in this Vineyard, as you nurture the Spirit in your own authentic way
… well I may appear calm, but what can pawns do, especially when most pawns do not see the issues and are happy enough ? Gough Whitlam was the last independent PM and about others you are correct.

Babuška…..you’re pretty much on the money. As a fellow antipodean I’ve despaired of the trajectory of political discourse and the events of the last 30 years. The insouciance of the vast majority of sheeple and the presstitute media, vanguarded by a once proud and independent Aunty is confirmation of your bleak assessment. Australia’s appalling treatment of Assange is indefensible and will forever be a neon highlighted smear on the country’s toxic reputation. Don’t get me started on Abel’s et al and the Pilots’ dispute!
Abeles, Hawke’s Zionazi controller. Oh, dear, the stuff I heard when old journalists (a species now extinct) got together and lubricated their memories. Today the corruption is open and explicit, and the presstitutes know just how to keep their lying mouths shut.
Hawke and Keating were class traitors, like so very many Labor rats over the decades. Albanese looks like another. Hawke and Keating were proto-Blairites, swallowing the neoliberal Kool-Aid, and handing the economy and society over to the capitalist parasites. They were both rewarded, on retirement, with lucrative ‘business opportunities’ to live out their days in comfort. And, thanks to Labor marching Right, the Liberals and Nationals, aided and abetted by the Murdoch cancer and the ABC since the Howardisation of the 90s, have moved so far Right that we live in a sub-fascist failed society, run by the intelligence agencies, with Pentecostal and other ‘religious’ haters running amuk, and just itching to join our Masters in Thanatopolis DC in a suicidal war against the hated ‘Yellow Peril’, the evil ChiComms who have forgotten their place in God’s Divine Plan. Austfailia has built up such a mountain of bad karma, abusing the Indigenous with real viciousness to today, treating the Pacific islanders as ‘savages’, joining in every US Imperial aggression and blood-bath, and raping, defiling and desecrating the very fabric of the land, and living by, for and through mindless, pig ignorant, immensely self-satisfied, greed, that Nemesis, when it arrives, very soon, will be quite merciless, I expect.

Interesting comments, some of them
– System Servers: I gotta ask, are George Soros’ fingerprints on the “spontaneous” protests? I noticed
a lot of very well made signs in some news video of the “protests”. Not that I as an American would ever
condone extra judicial punishment, but the sooner Soros, his son, and their associates eat some poloni-
um and their assets are seized the better off the world will be.
– Jan Abovitt: You can be sure this has its origins somewhere in the West, which is constantly looking at
making life difficult for Putin’s Russia. The keep trying to stir another hornets nest wherever they can in
any country bordering Russia: yesterday Ukraine, today Georgia. It is all part of the West’s (read USA)
“grand strategy” to stay in power. It is a strategy that is doomed to fail because they underestimated and misjudge the power of the citizens.
– yefelwulf: We know JEWMERICA is behind it, have been since the trouble in Georgia began. They care nothing for Georgian’s it’s the strife and conflict they want disunity and economic chaos to inflame the
public and keep their puppet politicians in power. To make Russia a threat they can use to keep E JEW countries in line with fear and sell more weapons the same CIA plot used since WW2 and people still fall
for it. Like Jewkraine Gorgia will learn the hard way but not before Jewmerica has its pound of flesh. The Golem Trump will be smiling about Georgia’s democracy today.
– malleni: As soon as you see banners in ENGLISH – you know… – behind those “democratic demon-
strations” is definitely –
1. USA …
2….or more precisely – ISRAEL, because this entity (it is not a country) – control whole USA with its

The upcoming G20 meeting in Osaka will be interesting.
Trump told Xi to ‘be there or else’.
Trump says he is looking forward to meeting Putin… but the Kremlin says ‘let’s wait and see’.
Trump will have ‘words with Erdogan’ over the delivery off the Russian S400s.
Trump will have ‘words with Modi’ over the delivery off the Russian S400s.
meanwhile, President Putin’s planned and arranged meetings with partners will focus on efforts to settle international crises, Putin’s press secretary Dmitri Peskov said on Sunday.
Another reminder from me of why we are intent on stopping the empire’s war on Russia : for her cultural brilliance of the past.
This time a poem by the great Russian poet Annenski,(1855-1905). In memory of a friend of mine who died recently, and who my brief series of writing and poems concerning “the old vagrant” were based on.
Bronze Poet
Clouds that whiten in a dome of blue
and twisted trees sharply delineated,
the dust aglow, each shadow elongated
and phantoms that pass through the heart anew.
Why was the tale so brief? I cannot say.
Was there a second half I didn’t know?
In pale skies the clouds dissolve away
and night roams through the blackened trees below.
That man, the bench he sits on in the dusk
are growing heavier and more grotesque . . .
Don’t move! For as carnations start to shine
and leafy bushes melt and intertwine,
the poet shakes his uniform
of tired bronze and springs onto the lawn.
Hmm, I copied this from a book and missed the word “away” . . . so,
‘the poet shakes away his uniform’
Maybe a kind mod will insert the missing word . . . ;)
Ras
Nice poem and ,yes ,that one small word changes the meaning. The poem translates well . thank you. I thought he was dusting off his uniform to join the old fight again renewed but his renewal is of a different kind it seems.

Bronze Poet by Innokenty Annensky
Clouds that whiten in a dome of blue
and twisted trees sharply delineated,
the dust aglow, each shadow elongated
and phantoms that pass through the heart anew.
Why was the tale so brief? I cannot say.
Was there a second half I didn’t know?
In pale skies the clouds dissolve away
and night roams through the blackened tree below.
That man, the bench he sits on in the dusk
are growing heavier and more grotesque…
Don’t move! For as carnations start to shine
and leafy bushes melt and intertwine,
the poet shakes away his uniform
of tired bronze and prings on the lawn.
by Иннокентий Фёдорович Анненский (Innokenty Fyodorovich Annensky)
(date unknown)
translated by Peter Oram
Fun fact: Annensky is thinking of a statue of Pushkin in the Lycee Garden in Tsarkoye Selo.
Well well, what’s in a word… The “leap” of the translation by Peter Oram has morphed into a ” pring(s).
From the urban dictionary :
Pring describes a conscious, bigger effort to jump, throw or move a body vertically upwards whilst performing a skill. A sort of cross between ‘spring’ and ‘ping’ !
“You don’t have enough height or power. You need to ‘pring’ it up on take-off !”
Annensky is apparently extremely difficult to translate… The bronze horseman is the famous statue of Peter the Great at St Petersburg. I think he meant this one.
Dear ‘ole Pete, the great importer of western styled just about everything of the time, and with his wifey, German I think.
So, the man on the bench is well fixed with the result of all that. He’s any man, an inheritor of the restricting suit of intellectualism, and, yes, he’s about to shake it off. Soar upwards.
What is in a word,indeed! Ping in the urban dictionary is a high pitched sound as that made by a bullet striking metal like bronze . Or perhaps the sound of a tired ( hackneyed, worn out) suit of metal being shattered from within with shards left on the lawn as a genius spirit is made free to travel the land again.
People do tend to encase the genius of an age in a laudatory narrative which can become stifling..fixed…dead.
Fantastic image-content and intelligent comment, thank you..
i would be extremely interested to know the possible Russian interpretations and layers of meaning of this word, and the of the line, and in the context to the whole…
Also, the difficulty for the poet is to be understood in the way they intended, and not as the reader likes or thinks and so on. Hence perhaps, the difficulty in translating Annensky, who may even have composed poetry with this in mind.
Major cross-over with politics and poetry in great Russian poets work, Pushkin also. But one has to find this, as their work was often heavily censored, even in Pushkin’s time.
Annensky was remarkable and self effacing, his first book of poems with the name (anon)imous in Russian !
Take care,
ras
The saga of the Bronze Poet, of ‘what’s in a word’, and with recapitulation :
I copy a poem onto here from a book, and miss an all-important word.
I confirm this with a second comment asking a kindly mod to insert the missing word..
The mod copies and pastes the whole poem again, but with different translation of this one word “leap” by the translator Peter Oram, to “pring”. Both words having a similar meaning.
Teranam13 then makes a second comment based on the word “ping” instated of “pring.”
I reply to this, not seeing that she has misread pring for ping, and provided a meaning based upon a word that in fact, is erroneous, but whose definition, and accompanying comment, I find interesting and different.
I read her comment again and realize the confusion. I also read my comment following hers to check whether it mirrored my thoughts properly in relation to her comment, and see my own typing mistake.
This is marvelous, a lesson in humour, humility, and good will – Annensky would have loved this.

Mundo, I will try to catch up with Mercury and Merkel this cafe or next.

Now I am racing to keep up with my Red Pilled Sister who once threw her apron on the counter of the sandwich shop where she worked, walked off the job without hesitation, and joined a crowd of some thousands marching down the street in front of the shop and protesting the Vietnam War…. a block off a major college campus….
Her email of this morning:
“a hell of a lot of threads knit into a ‘coherency’… I was apparently quite oblivious to the forest while trying to figure out a couple of trees during my brief tenure as ‘student radical’ in Seattle… during which time other ‘radicals’ with whom I brushed shoulders considered me quite the wuss as I was rather adamantly ‘non-violent’… frankly, I don’t think there were many, if any, ‘good guys’… nor do I see that many now.. or at least any that I would unequivocally qualify as such… there are a number I give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise… AND this seems to be only one strand of the Obama story as ‘Q’ has brought up other strands none of which eliminate the others.. i.e., NOTHING is simple and straight forward… but this does illuminate multiple corridors leading in the same direction apparently populated by the same tribe of rats.. what it does NOT do is exonerate other tribes of rats skirmishing in the same and similar corridors..

END of her email
I’ve only had a few minutes to preview the video on the Weather Underground, but once I took a look at Bernadine Dorn’s Lover/Husband……….what immediately came to mind was “Establishment running the ‘Anti-Establishment’…….and …………….’Masons’…..and then dear old daddy-in-law in Illinois……and I’m like:
“Yep!”
But before then, my reply:
I think it is fairly obvious that the advocates of violence………generally speaking….especially among student radicals………are dupes just anxious to get their adolescent rebellion “rocks off”.
They are invariably penetrated by the FBI and other agencies like it…….working for an agenda the dupes and their organizers can’t grasp (in the case of the dupes) or don’t care to (in the case of their organizers…..because they get an egoic or monetary reward for instigating the scenario that leads to the desired narrative and outcome…and could care less about some heads that get bashed in…..or the failure of the “cause” …WHY? They have their own personal advancement cause that “the cause” is just a vehicle to take them to THEIR destination…….not the cannon fodders’….ideal of justice…or whatever….)
Now armed justified force…………to put down invasion violence …whether personal…or national political……….is another matter.
So defensive force violates no one’s “rights” (invasion is not a right)….whereas unprovoked aggressive violence…or chaotic violence smashing windows and burning buildings of owners not involved really…in the injustice…….is what the perpetrators of the injustice or violence………ENCOURAGE, often!
Surreptitiously, of course.
Discernment is key.
I’ll watch the video.
Old lefties radicals are still burned up by the International Caucus of Labor Committees and “Lyn Marcus” ( a very successful pseudonym meme chosen by Larouche to pull brighter “radicals” out of the leftist stew…into an infinitely more productive approach, far, far more threatening to the oligarchy….) for messing up their stupid errors in their radical flings and flirtations with the Mark Rudds, Abbey Hoffmans and other FBI run Pied Pipers of the Fake Left….who were just acting…for exposing the…the whole farce…in NYC Columbia University Student Strike 1968…etc.

Here is the article on Facebook’s cryptocurrency, Libra, that I wish I could have written. It would be OK for most everyone with a casual interest but also, we are in the process of redefining money. So, in terms of massive industry, bigger than countries, and their massive power, most everyone could be interested. I remember Catherine Austin Fits on Bitcoin Core, saying, we could be be prototyping Mr Global’s new money. The moment is here, but it is not Mr Global, it is Mr Global Industry – FB that is bigger than many countries.
Final comment, this is the future and we are there. We have to grab it on our terms.

Jacques Attali praised Emmanuel Macron, the new Minister of the Economy, whom he knows well for
having been for him a kind of “mentor” in the past. The economist has high hopes for Emmanuel
Macron. “I believe that Emmanuel Macron has the talent to be presidential one day,” said Jacques Attali.

The US is annoyed that Russia has a missile with which to defend itself!
The United States and its NATO vassal states want Russia to destroy its 9M729/SSC-8 nuclear-capable cruise missile system, which Moscow has so far refused to do.
Those pesky Russians tell the truth again – it is very inconvenient for Pindostan!
(Reuters) – Russia has military intelligence that shows that a U.S. drone was in Iranian air space when it was shot down by Iran last week, Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of Russia’s Security Council, said on Tuesday.

US to cut three Chinese banks off from SWIFT system before G20 summit:
On Monday a US judge found three large Chinese banks — reportedly the state-owned Bank of Communications, China Merchants Bank, and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank — in contempt for refusing to comply with subpoenas in an investigation into North Korean sanctions violations. This opens the door for them to be cut off from the US financial system, i.e. SWIFT.
“Should it occur, to say that China will not take that well is as large an understatement as one can conceive of. It would be an earthquake”, commented Rabobank’s Michael Every.

Amidst the news of the world, and speculation as to how close the Clown Prince was to pushing the his my-button-is-bigger-than-yours button to launch Armageddon, I decided to listen to some music.

Jerry Garcia Band playing JimmyCliff’s “Harder they Come.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YxH_A57Y9E
“Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they’ve done
‘Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I’m gonna get my share now, what’s mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you’re dead you can’t
But I’d rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave”
I’d forgotten I’d once heard this tune. Until life reminded me. From the time when people thought that Peace, Love and Music could be an counter to America’s culture of war, violence and injustice. Well, that had a good start, but eventually it lost out to Reagan’s Morning in America and all that’s followed. But it left behind some wonderful music.
Seems like a nice gift to The Saker. :)
Hope everyone had a wonderful Summer Solstice!

Just a thought, because probably no one’s said it in awhile.
Oliver Stone’s “Untold History of the United States” is must see.
If you’ve never seen it, or if its been awhile …..
Meanwhile, I’ll sit and dream about how quantum physics has a theory that every choice or chance happens in one or some of the infinite number of alternate universes. So, somewhere out there is a world where Franklin Roosevelt didn’t get old and lose the fight to make his ally Henry Wallace the next President instead of that shopkeeper who was the pawn of the political machine, aka Harry Truman.
“…I’ll sit and dream…in one or some of the infinite numbers of parallel alternate universes.”
This was known at the time of writing the Gospels. I will provide relevant passage later.
I was determined to seek the Truth of this when I had a series of blindingly graphic dreams and was blessed at the same time to know a Spiritual Director who companioned me for many years in order to work with these dreams: deprogramming from ‘the things of this world’ and becoming ‘authentic’.
Hence my own insights into these parallel universes.
Long live the Fellowship of Dreamers
Its now getting to be just bizarre. Half of the US administration is running around the world threatening and bellowing, Trump wants to ‘obliterate’ Iran, while Kushner is taking part in some ‘peace and security’ (really, and we have to believe this stuff?) conference and the other half of the administration is busy sanctioning everything that moves while some US students protest that Jesus was a queer.
We’re seeing empire growing more and more desperate while the rest of the world (India and signs from Japan) are hardening attitudes and saying … No Way! No More. Its gaslighting, trollery and hopeless bellowing (which is no beginning to sound like wining!) from the administration that is beginning to understand that nobody is paying attention, but everybody is readying for war for in-case, and for the rest of the case, simply ignoring them. I think the word insane has no meaning any longer – we need to find another word for these circumstances.
Russia called military readiness drills in the Central area (I looked at the map there, it is just inches from Iran and covers the Balkans in my non-educated view). China has been shouting for weeks now, using words that I did not know the Chinese knew!
I think perhaps Xi and Putin will use this G20 to try and talk sense into Trump, otherwise, Trump is going to eat his very beautiful chocolate cake all by himself. I see announcements of who Trump will be having meetings with, but no confirmation from the counterparts that they will actually take a meeting with him. I see a Russia/India/China (RIC) meet being confirmed. Remember the last G20 when Trump cancelled meeting with Putin while on his plane and on the way because of the little Ukrainian ships doing stupid things to try and get Poroshenko to win the Ukrainian election. Is the Georgia maidan a similar attempt?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything this crazy all together at once and all across the globe. We’ve entered the Crazy, where Empire is beginning to figure that they are just the other guy, and Empire is no more but a bunch of babblers. A dangerous dangerous phase and like Paul Craig Roberts says .. The West is Leaderless, so, anybody that is somebody can try and jump into the gap and do something. (Catherine Austin Fitts with her theory that anyone can get money now from the US administration for any war that they choose as long as the stockmarket moves upwards).
