A bunch of commercial airline pilots have filed a class action suit against Boeing. I have heard nothing of it on MSM, and they are also avoiding details that make it clear that Boeing has murdered 2 planes full of people. Airlines may or may not be complicit, so also the FAA.

… Joker and Impostor …
so, we now come to realise the European Union is not a progressive unified union to benefit European people, but is a Joker and Impostor …
Political Commentator George Szamuely believes Europe does not have a strong will to preserve the Iran nuclear deal from being scrapped.
“If they had the will to do it, of course they could have done it,” he said.

( include MH17 and Nord Stream 2 … what else ? )
The EU will NEVER stand up to their Zionazi Masters. Bibi et al want a New Purim, and they’ll get it. They might even get a New Masada as well.
True, the famous square mile in London does not play.
As a warning, recently a German cornfield was bombed.

… just in case in TheCafe 19-6-18 this was entered too late for you I repeat…
Hi Rob,
your curiosity is encouraging. Someone has collected something about MH17 into a pdf that you could have a look at if a target email address was known (your physical address is not necessary for this purpose).
S. One
Thanks, but e.g. commentator Terry has already written an extensive and good post on this, and I don’t want to put much more time in it:
/the-case-of-mh17-and-the-imitation-of-a-maidan-in-georgia-the-provocations-of-globalists/#comment-660565
Cheers, Rob
Thanks for the link Rob, somehow I did not remark this article.
I thought about other things, but what Terry lists is much better, nails the case as a total and provocative negation of all “western values”.

It is probably a very forlorn hope indeed, but is there the ever so tiny chance that the EU is perhaps going to grow a pair with their latest Intex initiative? With what is unfolding in the below link it will be interesting to see how the spoilt brat-like hegemon behaves… now I will make a very bold prediction…BADLY.
Cheers from across the ditch

Well, what I saw, Col, was that the EU invertebrates promised only a derisive amount, under one billion, for the Intex sham. I think that the chance of the EU insects defying Trump, or, more to the point, Trump’s bosses the Zionazis, who really want Iran obliterated, is zero, or less.
Does anybody have an update on the proposed Iran-Pakistan-India or China pipeline? Unless I am mistaken, the SCO missed a golden opportunity to “bitch slap” the AZ empire at the recent Bishkek SCO meeting by failing to announce accelerated construction of such a pipeline, because:
(a)It would have been a win-win for the entire SCO
(b)It would have promoted increased trust & unity within SCO
(c)It would have inspired countries outside of NATO to pursue another development model, and encouraged anti-war movements within NATO
(d)It would create thousands of jobs, thus giving potential jihadi recruits something better to do with their time.
I am sure the entire SCO would happily share the costs of deploying extra S-400s, ground patrols, & fighter patrols along the pipeline route.

The Lion and the Beasts – ‘Tales from Rumi’, transl. E H Whinfield
A story is told of a lion who held all the beasts of the neighbourhood in subjection, and was in the habit of making constant raids upon them, to take and kill such of them as he required for his daily food. At last the beasts took counsel together, and agreed to deliver up one of their company every day, to satisfy the lion’s hunger, if he, on his part, would cease to annoy them by his continual forays. The lion was at first unwilling to trust to their promise, remarking that he always preferred to rely on his own exertions; but the beasts succeeded in persuading him that he would do well to trust Providence and their word. To illustrate the thesis that human exertions are vain, they related a story of a man who got Solomon to transport him to Hindustan
to escape the angel of death, but was smitten by the angel the moment he got there. Having carried their point, the beasts continued for some time to perform their engagement. One day it came to the turn of the hare to be delivered up as a victim to the lion; but he requested the others to let him practice a stratagem.
They scoffed at him, asking how such a silly beast as he could pretend to outwit the lion. The hare assured them that wisdom was of God, and God might choose weak things to confound the strong. At last they consented to let him try his luck. He took his way slowly to the lion, and found him sorely enraged. In excuse for his tardy arrival he represented that he and another hare had set out together to appear before the lion, but a strange lion has seized the second hare, and carried it off in spite of his remonstrances. On hearing this the lion was exceedingly wroth, and commanded the hare to show him the foe who had trespassed on his preserves. Pretending to be afraid, the hare got the lion to take him upon his back, and directed him to a well.
On looking down the well, the lion saw in the water the reflection of himself and of the hare on his back; and thinking that he saw his foe with the stolen hare, he plunged in to attack him, and was drowned, while the hare sprang off his back and escaped. The folly on the part of the lion was predestined to punish him for denying God’s ruling providence. So Adam, though he knew the name of all things, in accordance with God’s predestination, neglected to obey a single prohibition, and his disobedience cost him dearly.

Until US politicians on both sides – Rebublicans and Democrats – grow backbones and ditch the “Israel First” stance that all of them are forced to adopt, the country will continue to lose relevance and see decline in all areas.
As the Supreme Leader of Iran said recently, the fact that someone with Trump’s obvious shortcomings can be elected president, is in it self, a sign of decline:
“The fate of more than 300 million humans is in the hands of a person with such characteristics, this is a sign of America’s political decline,”
Trump’s presidency has so far preoccupied itself with matters deemed important to Israel, despite the fact that pursuing them have not been in America’s best interests.
These are:
• Entangling the US in Syria
• Quitting the JCPOA
•Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem
•Strangling the Palestinians economically by cutting off funding and and imposing the Israel-crafted “Deal of the Century” on them
“Giving” Syria’s Golan Heights to Israel
• Whitewashing the brutal killing of the Saudi journalist
• Aiding the Saudi slaughter in Yemen
• Sanctioning and provoking Iran that has dutifully complied with its obligations under the JCPOA
The current US administration has pursued the above policies to the detriment of America’s interests and its standing in the world, but done regardless, because Israel and Jews in the US believe that they are in Israel’s interest.
All the 2020 presidential contenders are agreed on 1 thing:
“Israel’s interest are paramount and the US support for Israel must be bi-partisan and unconditional”
Until they have the courage to reject all of that nonsense, America’s decline will continue to accelerate.

China Stops All Meat Imports From Canada Amid Strained Bilateral Ties
https://sputniknews.com/business/201906261076051697-china-canada-meat-products/
“The spokesman explained that the decision comes after the feed additive “ractopamine”, which is permitted in Canada but banned in China, was found in Canadian pork shipments.
He added that about 188 “forged” veterinary certificates were delivered to “the Chinese regulatory authorities through Canada’s official certificate notification channel”, which the spokesman claimed indicates that there are “obvious safety loopholes” in the Canadian meat export supervision system.”
Sounds like another ginger mcclaren type criminal at work certifying canadian meat exports. Canada, a nation that defeated the americans in war, twice, has sure gone to govno recently.
I watched a couple of Canadian TV programs concerning Chinese-Canadian relations today. The various Rightwing thugs and idiots were pretty mad that those Yellow Devils in China were giving Canada a good kicking. Very upset were they. No mention of course, of the reports (even in the Guardian!!)that the Five Eyes thugs got together last July, in Canada I do believe, to plan this campaign to destroy Huawei. A campaign that will backfire beautifully, but that’s beside the point. And Trudeau admitted that he knew days ahead that Meng was going to be kidnapped for rendition to the USA, in an act of outright war. Not only does the case have no merit because the charge for which the victim is to be extradited must be a crime in both Canada and the USA (which it is not) but the US sanctions regime is illegal under International Law, as is the USA’s outrageous extra-territorial reach. I hope China gives Canada a really good kicking, and if Meng is renditioned to the USA, I trust that all trade is severed with the pumped up racist stooges.
Well, on the upside of climate change, abrupt, or otherwise, the US food heartland is flooded. And well, up here in the north, things are looking up for another bumper harvest, right across the country. I like the selectiveness of climate change. Anyways, not to fear, Canada lost a Chinese market and good old human, pollution, I guess, has come to Canada’s rescue in the from ‘weird weather patterns’ opening up the US market to Canadain farm products. Good thing Trumpy and Stumpy got those tarriff issues sorted out.
And I wouldn’t worry about Meng too much, she’s a Canadian dual citizen anyway. One of Canada’s most respected lawyers who just happens to be a well liked ex PM just told the world, and for the most part, Canadians, that she should be freed and the case dropped. Talk about taking the piss out of something.
Actually, following the coverage on BNN, this may be blowback for the announcement the day before that Canadian plane maker, Bombardier, is selling its commercial-jet business to Mitsubishi (and not to Boeing, like Bombardier’s main competitor, Brazil’s Embraer, did.)
BNN notes this meat exports suspension will hit Canada’s big banks, similarly to low energy prices. This just smacks of an economic attack from our American brethern. Just my opinion. Same old song and dance…
To quote MP Jim Carr:
“Somebody is falsifying Canadian export certificates,” Carr said. “Someone think that there’s an advantage in using the Canada brand to get into the Chinese market.
“It’s a problem and we’re going to get to the bottom of it. We’re working with provincial counterparts, with the industry officials involved, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the Chinese themselves so that we can come up with some idea of where this product comes from and how to determine who’s falsifying these export certificates to get to the bottom of it.”
That said, unauthorized ractopamine use is not a new problem in this country.
On the topic of Canadian – Chinese relations, i came across another issue when doing research into Asbestos. This had to do with Canadian – Chilean relations:
Essentially there are several levels of strangling the asbestos industry: You can ban mining / you can ban the export / the domestic manufacture / imports / the domestic consumption.
Canada did not ban the mining and did not ban exports but did ban imports, domestic manufacture and processing as well as domestic consumption…
So Canada did what is their sovereign right, to ban processing for domestic sale, imports and distribution of asbestos and products thereof…
Chile banned imports of raw material / processed goods and banned domestic mining and processing – and sale thereof…
This Chilean move, which is their sovereign right…outraged the Canadians…who then took Chile to the WTO to force Chile to accept Canadian exports of asbestos…
The US had a hissy fit over the ban by China of imports of scrap paper and plastics. The US has 240,000 jobs dependent on the supply chain of dumping scrap onto China…
China has the sovereign right to ban imports of waste. It is the USA that has taken the easy option to export waste and neglected the simple reprocessing, reuse, incineration route…(which could also create jobs, if they got their heads out of their asses)
Now the UK also has egg on its face as UK waste disposal firms have been exposed on national TV, dumping waste in Malaysia as China banged its doors shut …
Thanks for the comment, Analyst. Plenty to consider. In reading PM Trudeau’s press release from the G20 summit, I came across another interesting tidbit pertaining to Canada-Japan cooperation:
“On June 17, 2019, Canada announced the signing of two memoranda on clean energy cooperation with Japan. One commits both countries to advance cooperation in the areas of clean energy, energy efficiency, and oil and gas, and to accelerate action on climate change in multilateral fora. The second commits to greater collaboration in clean energy areas like carbon capture utilization and storage technologies.”
Again, I’d expect Canada (and Japan) to partner first and foremost with the USA on these matters. This is a bit of a change. (Trudeau met with South Korea’s Moon, too, who may also be looking for other options)
And on the subject of Canadian bullying of Chile, PM Trudeau did host a meeting of the Lima Group while in Osaka (with Chile, Argentina, and Brazil) which called for the restoration of peace and democracy in Venezuela, currently under the illegitimate regime of Maduro. Some things stay the same!
While the subject is up for discussion, I’ll add one more post (for those who are interested) re: Canada-Japan cooperation. There is an extraordinary amount of activity going on here which slipped past me when Trudeau hosted Shinzo Abe at the end of April:
– Mitsubishi Corporation holds a 15 per cent share in the $40 billion CAD LNG Canada project, the largest private infrastructure investment in Canada’s history, with the lowest carbon intensity of any large-scale LNG project in the world.
– Mitsubishi Corporation is investing $5.8 million CAD to Vancouver-based Spare, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled platform for on-demand mobility and smart transportation networks. The two companies, in collaboration with Nishitetsu, will test a commercial AI-controlled on-demand-bus transit service in Fukuoka, Japan, a multi-year project. With this collaboration, Spare and Mitsubishi Corporation will be well positioned for significant growth in the multi-billion dollar market for next generation, shared mobility services in Japan.
– Fujitsu, a world-leading information and communications technology company, opened its global AI headquarters, Fujitsu Intelligence Technology, in Vancouver, British Columbia
– DENSO, the world’s second largest mobility supplier that develops advanced technology and components for nearly every vehicle make and model on the road today, announced the opening of a research and development (R&D) laboratory in Montreal. This new initiative will create high-value engineering positions in the Greater Montreal region and will support DENSO’s overall global R&D activity. DENSO has had a presence in Mississauga and Guelph for 46 years, and the Montreal office is its first AI-focused office in Canada
– The two Canadian studios of video game developer Square Enix Inc., Eidos-Montreal and Square Enix Montreal, represent together nearly 700 well-paying jobs, the group’s largest development units outside of Japan. The group plans to continue to create jobs for Canadians over the next five years. In 2019, the group will finance the expansion and renovation of its facilities, and will create more than 100 additional jobs.
– CyberConnect2, a Fukuoka-based home-use game development company, opened its first overseas studio in Montreal in May 2017. In fall of 2019, CyberConnect2 plans to release its first game, in which the Montreal office has played a large developmental role.
– Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) established MHI Canada Aerospace, Inc. (MHICA) in 2006. Since its establishment, MHICA’s business has grown and its workforce has increased to roughly 800 people. The company is now recognized as one of the biggest aerostructure companies in Canada. MHICA is the sole production facility for MHI’s aerospace business in North America, and the company is preparing for the expansion of future business opportunities in Canada.
– In March 2019, Japan’s Kubota Corporation announced a long-term original equipment manufacturer deal with Winnipeg manufacturer Buhler Industries for the development and production capabilities of a new series of tractors. Buhler’s expertise and position in the tractor market makes the company the ideal match for the growth of Kubota’s business in North America. The result of this agreement is an increase in production at the factory in Winnipeg, which will bring additional stability to the supply chain and employees. Buhler currently has over 1,000 employees.
– The Memorandum of Understanding between the National Research Council of Canada and the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International of Japan will facilitate research and development collaboration and co-innovation for Canadian and Japanese firms and organizations. The agreement focuses on technology areas of mutual interest to both countries, such as robotics, neuroscience, mobility, and the web.
– Toyota will soon build a new vehicle in Canada, adding the Lexus NX luxury SUV to its Ontario assembly plants as of 2022. Previously, both versions of the NX were produced in Japan. So the Canadian-made versions will be the first ones ever made outside Toyota’s home country.

Lifta – https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D0%B8%D1%84%D1%82%D0%B0
Lifta (Arabic. لفتا) – abandoned Arab village near the western outskirts of Jerusalem. The place has been inhabited since time immemorial and is mentioned in the Bible. [1] Located north of the road leading from Jerusalem to Jaffa and Tel Aviv, on the slopes leading down to the Sorek Valley at an altitude of 700
meters above sea level. Residents left during the Arab-Israeli War (1947-1949). In the 1980s, this place
was declared a nature reserve.
In the 1990s, there was a youth community in Lifta, consisting mainly of Russian-speaking drug repatriates
[2] [3] [4].
In 2011, the remnants of the village wanted to demolish and build in its place a luxurious entertainment complex-hotel. Former villagers filed a petition to save the village as a historic site. [5] Lifta is the last
surviving deserted Arab village that has not been rebuilt or re-populated. [6]

“In Phase 4 Stereo” … I think this means quadraphonic, which were very special LP records produced just prior to the Compact Disc (CD) becoming popular. The Compact Disc had a massive amount of ‘free space’ and better designed could have been quadraphonic or even better. A quadraphonic sound system should have four speakers where each speaker is allotted its independent track. The listening experience is like being at the performance. I have an old Japanese quadraphonic record player with just one quadraphonic record. These records are rare.

US Combat Ship Collides With Canadian Freighter In Montreal
An advanced U.S. Navy combat ship that is slated to be commissioned as the U.S.S. Billings collided with a berthed freighter in Montreal on Monday, FreightWaves reported. Both ships were damaged as a result, but their crews were safe. The U.S. Freedom-class littoral combat ship hit the M/V Rosaire A. Desgagnes at about 2PM on Monday, according to Lt. Cmdr. Courtney Hillson, a Navy spokesperson.
I think you mean this link: https://www.freightwaves.com/news/u-s-combat-ship-hits-freighter-in-canada?utm_campaign=Daily%20Newsletter&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=74029699&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9XN7kV70gop5lacgaztRFDDt3O7nkfMPAQBHXDDWkxYY3GnFSAxigC9wVynYzjpbo-6jzfHcO18B4eyakWacjtM5EcVhKPE7r22Nbuht1qJVkzRRc&_hsmi=74029699
If we are worried that the US Navy can’t navigate anymore (the hit ship was docked and not exactly stealth!) I can also tell that quite some US Navy ships (and also nuclear Trident subs of the UK navy) still have their onboard computer systems running on Windows XP.
I can imagine this stupid ‘clippy’ popping up on the screens, saying ‘it looks like you’re trying to sail through the Strait of Malacca, can I be of assistance?’

North Korea has yet another reason to distrust the Pindos.
More than a third of Americans would support a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea if that country tested a long-range missile capable of reaching the United States, new research has found, even if that preemptive strike killed a million civilians.
The survey of 3,000 Americans was conducted by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and asked people to consider a scenario in which North Korea had tested a long-range missile and the U.S. government was considering how to respond.
North Korea has already tested a “long-range missile capable of reaching the United States”.
Food break; Some people call it ‘crack’ it’s that addictive, but the recipe can be found under ‘egg roll in a bowl’. It’s on most keto sites. For those who enjoy a nice spring roll, the ingredents can be wrapped in a spring roll wrapper and fried (I find egg roll wrappers to heavy). Fried? I know, but hey ya gotta live a little too. If you add clear vemicelli noodles to the mix and wrap it in a spring roll wrap, presto, a version of lumpia.

Trump-Xi trade war summit at G20 in Japan still up in the air as ‘conditions not right’, China adviser says
https://www.scmp.com/economy/china-economy/article/3011531/trump-xi-trade-war-summit-g20-japan-still-air-conditions-not
( a meeting is said to be on the agenda … what sort of meeting ? we shall see )
Guys…..and Girls….it is The Climate of Pessimism that Could Kill Us All……..not the optimism that creates public fresh water systems and waste water treatment systems…dispensing with the dreary old animal-like stinky (pessimistic) “back to the bucket” approach.
“Think back to the Helsinki meeting. Immediately beforehand, Team Mueller released an indictment of purported Russian hackers, an indictment whose release was timed to sabotage that meeting. With the G20 coming up this Friday, we again see attempts to scuttle the potential for Trump-Xi-Putin cooperation.”
Putin shows the way,according to this mornings’ LPAC Lead:
“………….and Putin responded to a question about continuing to treat the U.S. as partners, despite the repeated attacks on Russia’s economy and dignity, by referencing the beautiful architecture of his hometown, St. Petersburg, contributing to his underlying view of the beauty and potential of the human species.:……”
But the Empire Climate of Pessimism is the Real Danger, friends, still, to be overcome with a New Paradigm of Optimism and Beauty………which is not in the bottom of a bucket, moi drugoi:
“The New Paradigm increasingly gripping the world threatens to entirely replace the dying British system, and it is precisely to prevent this new outlook from taking firmer hold in the world that the British are pushing for war and chaos, including trying to push Trump out of the way to do so. Think back to the Helsinki meeting. Immediately beforehand, Team Mueller released an indictment of purported Russian hackers, an indictment whose release was timed to sabotage that meeting. With the G20 coming up this Friday, we again see attempts to scuttle the potential for Trump-Xi-Putin cooperation.”
So….Pooping in buckets and going back to the “Good (sic) Old Days of Empire”……….obviously won’t cut the mustard, Friends:
“Again, the dangers are real! Under the current NDAA, and with the stable of maniacs hovering around Trump, and with the unrefuted lie of Russian involvement in the 2016 elections, the number of potential flashpoints that could cascade to nuclear war are many.
The personal diplomacy between Presidents Trump, Putin and Xi this weekend can and must be the turning point. Cooperation for peace and development must replace the drive for war.”
THIS is what The Empire strives to avert at all costs. (As well as the coming fresh water management for a few billion already existing human beings and the logical complimentary waste water management systems to boot……..along the corridors of development of BRI………consigning their “buckets”…perhaps for sweeter smelling gardening….rather than human waste disposal.)
It is transparent for those with Eyes of Optimism to See How to Survive and Thrive….Durably…and Hygienically.

Trump Pronounces Sanctions on Ayatollah Khomeini Who Has Been Dead Since 1989
https://www.checkpointasia.net/trump-pronounces-sanctions-on-ayatollah-khomeini-who-has-been-dead-since-1989/
I’m still hesitating whether we are dealing here with outright idiots, or some cunning plan. Based on just gut feeling I’m of the opinion that Trump is not dumb, but this *diplomacy* does not elevate from the schoolyard yelling of an elementary school.
Were it not so serious and outright dangerous, I tend to think in what the USA foreign policy might think they are, in a scene from a hilarious series of Monthy Python: ‘how to irritate people’.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PktyJR_U2J0
In the meantime the rest of the world is shrugging their shoulders more and more, and the USA is bluffing themselves into corners where they cannot come out of anymore without saving their face. I mean, can you imagine Guaido over two years, still yearning on some YT channel, that he is the *real* president of Venezuela (*yawn*)?
Can you imagine the pale faces of MIC engineers, sending a high tech drone in Iranian airspace (the Street of Hormuz doesn’t even have international airspace, despite what the USA yells), with advanced radar detecting and jamming techniques, and the Iranian forces just blow it out of the sky like that with a home made missile?
I hope Trump is wise enough to talk to Xi and Putin to save his mess. Otherwise all horrendous options are open. And don’t let Bibi think that they can walk out of this without a bloody nose or far, far worse. It’s really damn time to stop this idiot Oded Yinon wars.
Cheers, Rob

P.S. Posted this reply a couple of hours ago. Didn’t show. Strange, as other posts have disappeared lately, even if visible at first.
Trump is a manipulative bully psychopath with only commercial gangster cut throat techniques…..desparately trying to some kind of american statesman in their cultural fashion….but so far desparatell failing to be a world statesman….this he knows and reinforces his self belief and experience that then the only way to become a world statesman is to fall back on his commercial gangster cuthroat techniques(after all Putin was in the KGB wasn’t he but has no idea what he actually did or his character and education from the streets instead of Trumps failing “privelege”) which will never lead to him becoming a world statesman….only some bully boy trying to get into a club that he is unsuitable and totally mismatched for and definitely not wanted now…..let me in..let me in he pleads…..the others so far have politely smiled and just turn away…soon to tell him to stand in the naughty corner of the room with a big dunce cap on his head.

I know exactly what you are saying.
It is completely and utterly astonishing to me that there is an element in the US that considers that Trump can do no wrong and is in office because he was “divinely appointed”…I mean you could hardly make this s$%#t up!
Holding fast to this theory is the moronic Greg Hunter and a good portion of his sycophantic commenters on the so-called US Watchdog site.
As an example of this idiocy here is a recent comment….
“Love your wrap up Greg. I totally agree President T cannot go as quickly as we’d all like. But given that he’s divinely appointed he’s having to apply the long-term wisdom of a serpent.”
How sad is this

There is a pecking order at the end of the day, and just b/c one may not like or understand it does not make it any less valid. Whats even worse is the thought of whom created it all, that’s where the all fighting starts.
The ‘long-term wisdom of a serpent’?? What, like in the Garden of Eden? Or is it the wisdom of his ‘one-eyed trouser snake’, that seems to be where his most active ‘intelligence’ is centred? Could be one of them snake-molesters that get bitten by a rattler or cotton-mouth from time to time, Glory Be!
“Springballad”
The song about sun and lilacs
Spring in explosion
Everything that lives and unites
us in a unique composition
Give me just one song
so that no winter passes
without it reminding us
how lovely it was
how lovely you were
You were as beautiful as a rose
in the middle of the bright spring
I was as if in a constant narcosis
Loved everything about you
Give me just one song
so that no winter passes
without it reminding us
how lovely it was
how lovely you were
Give me a puff, before we know
we will be far on our way
Time has made quite different plans
For you is my forget-me-not
Give me just one song
so that no winter passes
without it reminding us
how lovely it was
how lovely you were

There is so much love, in your soul
An endless ocean, greatest pleasure,
And that is painful, even more
Now, that I have to miss that treasure
Oh, little girl, sitting in the garden
With your grandma, with your mom,
Beauty flowers are your wardens
Peace with you, thy work is done !
See Emily play (Pun intended)
Loud please.

Very lovely Kent! Just marvelous.
Nord Stream 2 is a modern wonder of our world.
Here are four Nord Stream 2 videos describing the logistics involved …
https://www.nord-stream2.com/construction-germany/
( Washington has just put sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 project )
In Northern Australia we are paying AUD$2.20 per litre for tanker delivered LPG, plus $45 per year bottle rental.
In South Australia LPG delivered is AUD$1.60 per litre.
Australia exports LPG to Asia at 60 cents (AUD) per litre.
Russian gas prices would be most welcome here.
Without wanting to get you to do anything illegal, it is very easy to get automotive LPG at around 70c per litre and transfer it to 9kg POL tanks. LPG is a refrigerant (mostly propane with a bit of butane) and adapters are readily available on evil-bay to transfer the liquid. You can transfer to the 100kg tanks, but I’d advise against that (unless you’re a fridgie).
I think I figured something out. Trump is now shouting at Japan to pay more for ‘security’. You know what he is doing? It sounds funny, but he is turning the US Military into a mercenary force for hire literally – of course hidden underneath ‘protecting the world’. That is why he is not fond of NATO, because he wants his own mercenary force looks like to me.
I think you’re spot-on, but it might be even more than just protection. I think it fits in a pattern that Thierry Meyssan has described: https://www.voltairenet.org/article197541.html
In short, there are to be ‘stable’ nations, and the rest of the world is simply a reservoir of raw materials. And the US Military is the (to be hired) transport service, and guess who decides who is going to have the goodies.
This is nothing new, it resembles the practice of e.g. the Camorra in Napoli. You have to pay your ‘pizzo’, protection money. You don’t want to have bad things happen, do you? And if you refuse, some blokes come by to burn your store down, or shoot some customers.
If you want to get a good view of this, read ‘Gomorra’ by Roberto Saviano (who since then lives in secret exile, he has a price on his head). The trafficking, the handling of toxic waste… it’s a far cry from the rather romantic view of ‘The Godfather’.
Cheers, Rob
China has fired the first shots before the G20.
There was talk of a ‘trade war truce’ yesterday and somebody important in US economy (I forget who) in the US said that the trade agreement is 90% complete … markets rejoiced (I don’t watch markets because the whole lot is rigged).
So, China says … sure, let’s have a trade war truce, but just before we have a truce,
– remove the ban on the sale of U.S. technology to Huawei
– lift all punitive tariffs
– drop the push for China to buy more US exports.
In other words, reset the board to where it was when the agreement between Xi and Trump was made last December.
I don’t think Trump is going to have a good time at the G20.

Where there’s oil, there’s trouble … as we all know.

Giant’s Milk: “Israel/Zionism is truly damaging. For all, including jews. I am so glad to see more and more Jews, especially youngsters standing up against Israel and political Zionism.”
Evidently something had to be done about George Galloway when he scoffed at “The Russians Did It!” narrative in the UK around the Skirpal affair………….
But he’s kind of laughing it off and enjoying himself…it seems. The absurdity of it all.

List of the CIA’s secret prisons after 9/11 outside the USA in Europe and Africa
– see at Legal authority for operation / Black site
There is little or no stated legal authority for the operation of black sites by the United States or the other countries believed to be involved. In fact, the specifics of the network of black sites remains controversial.
The United Nations has begun to intervene in this aspect of black sites.
The fourteen European countries Marty listed as collaborators in “unlawful inter-state transfers” are
Great Britain, Germany, Isle of Man, Italy, Sweden, Bosnia, Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Spain,
Cyprus, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Romania and Poland. Named airport bases include Glasgow
Prestwick Airport (Britain), Shannon & Baldonnel (Ireland), Ramstein and Frankfurt (Germany), Aviano
Air Base (Italy), Palma de Mallorca Airport (Spain), Tuzla Air Base (Bosnia-Herzegovina), Skopje (Re-
public of Macedonia), Athens (Greece), Larnaca (Cyprus), Prague (Czech Republic), Stockholm (Swe-
den), as well as Rabat (Morocco) and Algiers (Algeria).[16] Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkie-
wicz characterized the accusation as “libel”, while Romania similarly said there was no evidence.On
May 19, 2006, the United Nations Committee Against Torture (the U.N. body that monitors compliance
with the UN Convention Against Torture) recommended that the United States cease holding detainees
in secret prisons and stop the practice of rendering prisoners to countries where they are likely to be tor-
tured. The decision was made in Geneva following two days of hearings at which a 26-member U.S.
delegation defended the practices.[19][20]

Alternet theory on drone shoot down. The Posiden is not stealthy, it would look like a big turkey on radar. The stealthy drone was flying with it. The Yanks say that after the shoot down, they ran cyber attacks against Iran missile batteries, but that’s the same as closing the barn door after the horse bolted.
What if the stealthy drone, at the time of shoot down, was running the cyber attack? Are they still stealthy in attack mode? I doubt it.

The Last Wishes of Heinrich Heine
August 28, 2009 by Rocky Smith
“Christian Johann Heinrich Heine, the son of middle-class Jewish parents, was born in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 1797.
Heinrich was destined to gain fame as a poet and essayist, but his route to greatness was circuitous.
When he was a young man, his ambitious mother sent him to Frankfurt and Hamburg to learn banking and business.
The dreamy Heinrich proved wholly unsuited to such pursuits. He instead began to study law, attending universities in Göttingen, Bonn and Berlin. Gradually, an academic career became his ambition.
At the time, Jews were subject to severe restrictions in Germany. They were forbidden to enter certain professions, including university academics.
So in 1831, after earning his law degree, Heinrich thumbed his nose at Germany and left it behind forever. He moved to Paris, the pinnacle of European culture, art, and society.
On arrival in Paris, Heinrich began a successful writing career — law degree be damned — focusing on critiques as an expatriate of German politics and society. German authorities banned his work, but Heinrich continued commenting steadily and mercilessly.
His essays appeared regularly in French periodicals, and they expanded to cover many subjects, including music, French politics, literature, and the arts. Heinrich wrote with authority and panache, and as the years passed, he became prosperous and content.
In the late 1840s, Heinrich was diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis. In time, he became incapacitated by paralysis and spent the last eight years of his life on what he called his “mattress grave.”
Near the end, it was necessary for him to prop an eyelid open with one hand while writing with the other. Eventually, he had to dictate his work.
To the last, Heinrich was faithfully cared for by his wife, the former Eugenie Mirat, whom he called Mathilde. She was a simple, uneducated clerk he had met at a Paris boot shop and married in 1841.
Their marriage of 15 years was often described as rancorous. Mathilde was said to be both dim-witted and vain — an especially disagreeable combination — and Heinrich’s affection for her was mercurial.
In spite of their unstable relationship, Heinrich’s decline seemed to bond them together. Both knew that he had little time left.
Shortly before he died, Heinrich prepared his last will and testament, which left his entire estate to Mathilde. But there was one condition: she was required to remarry.
Why the stipulation that Mathilde find a new husband?
“Because then,” he told friends, “At least one man will regret my death.”
Heinrich died in 1856 and was buried in his beloved Paris. Mathilde remarried, inherited the estate, and lived comfortably until her death in 1883.”
Whether her second husband regretted Heinrich’s death is not a matter of record.”
Twenty seven additional years of very Lovely Days for his beloved and her new husband!
