Interesting developments and shrieking USA officials, an UAE oil tanker would have been ‘disappeared’: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-07-16/us-intelligence-eyes-iran-over-missing-uae-tanker-gulf
Now, it didn’t disappear, its transponder is off. It’s quite visible on radar. Didn’t a British oil tanker did the same lately, and when three IRGC patrol boats appeared on the horizon a British navy vessel claimed it had chased away an ‘attack’? The Iranians just didn’t bite.
(Funny that USA and UK sources weren’t even able to agree on the number of IRGC boats, one said ‘three’ and the other said ‘five’).
There is something going on, and I suspect some dirty play. This article was placed in the readers selected news by Tomsk:
http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13980425000488 . The Saudis are highly disappointed that the UAE largely left the ‘war’ in Yemen.
Now, for more background, you can read this article by Elijah J. Magnier, who is well informed in Iranian circles. The UAE is very worried that in an escalating conflict with Iran they will become a war zone, and have started talks with Iran: https://ejmagnier.com/2019/07/14/the-uk-must-release-the-iranian-tanker-the-uaes-mission-to-tehran/ . Their leaving troops from Yemen might have to do with this.
It seems quite unlikely to me that the UAE will play some kind of trick on Iran. Here might be more at stake. I don’t trust the British in this for a dime.
Cheers, Rob
Ah, here is some reasonable explanation: technical failure and a request for assistance: https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201907161076266141-tehran-says-iran-navy-aids-disabled-foreign-oil-tanker—report/
The British tabloid The Mirror (always reliable), has a *huge* story on a *bomb boat* in the Persian Gulf, approaching a UK Navy ship, with ‘explosives’ and ‘Houthis’ on board: https://sputniknews.com/world/201907161076265156-britain-iran-unmanned-boat-gulf/
I’m wondering which paranormal powers have been applied, to establish these facts with a high Skripal flavour. One day the UK will maybe try to do a kind of Kerch Strait incident makeover. Whether that will end well remains to be seen.
Cheers, Rob
Poor old Britannia, waving the rules as ever, but NOBODY is impressed. Roll on Brexit, BoJo as PM, the Zionazi lynching of Corbyn and the destruction of Labour and the secession of Scotland. This has just got to be all that bad, bad karma from centuries of Imperial bastardy abroad, and class war at home, coming back to bite the British on the bum. The vultures have come home to roost.
You dont think there is another rabbit outta magik hat? No more LONG LIVE THE QUEEN? Then what happen down under, you think??? TIA
It is brave of you to admit to your, alas repeated, Transient Ischaemic Attacks. Toodle-loo!
To understand what happens in the land downunder, one should first study history. With the Iris ‘Fenians’ being amongst those ‘criminals’ transported to Sydney Town and the subsequent rebellion at Castle Hill put down by Captain King, the Irish simply smouldered and waited their chance. It came during WW2 with Frankie Forde and Co.
The alcoholic John Curtain was Prime Minister, but every time the ‘Irish’ needed to make a move, poor John went ‘sick’. The Irish Cardinal in Queensland was also in on the mission to remove the monarchy from Australia, and moves were afoot for that to happen.
With the Japanese army and navy approaching Australia, the time was ripe. The last of the Australian Imperial Armies had been sent to defend Singapore and then were ‘surrendered’ to the Japanese. Churchill wanted the 6th Division sent to India, and Curtain needed them home, and then we got McArthur who FDR really didn’t want back in America to spoil the coming elections.
For the Irish, the time was nie to remove the Monarchy in Australia and make it a republic. All they had to do was to let the Japanese invade Australia, landing at Rockhampton and move inland to Tenterfield, capture the railway system and using that system move their troops south to the outskirts of Sydney and Melbourne (Canberra was still a cowpaddock) and lay siege to both cities and it was anticipated that Australia would fall within a month.
Once the Japanese had captured Australia, they would hand it over to the Germans who would make Australia a ‘Republic’ and the Irish had their ‘New homeland’. But things didn’t go that way, there was the ‘Battle of the Coral Sea’ which stopped the Japanese troops, and diverted them to New Guinea, where the Australian Militia (not the Imperial Army) mostly of the 39th Bat from Melbourne and the 52nd from Sydney stopped the Japanese on the Kokoda Track (not trail as that’s US language) and once the 6th Div arrived to supplement the militias old pox-ridden Tom Blamey visited the 39th and called them ‘Rabbits that run’ a rather derogatory remark, which should have had him shot.
And so the Irish Catholics missed out again, but they still had ‘their’ ALP and Frankie Ford, as John Curtain didn’t see out the war.
The ALP hasn’t changed much over the years, as it still yearns for a ‘Republic’ and recognises the UN and the US as its masters, and attracts all the far-far-left to its causes for minorities to rule over the majority, and of course one of those ‘minorities’ wearing his rose coloured glasses was he to whom you posed your question.
What will happen to the ‘Land Downunder’? Well with any outbreak of war as per the US requires, Australia may be lucky and be taken over by China who have some interest in us. Of course there is the other option that Indonesia may also decide to invade Australia as they have many bones to pick with both Australia and America over many issues, and the Indonesians will not be as civilised as the Chinese could be.
In fact, one could suggest that if the American wet-dream becomes a reality, then Australia will be up that proverbial creek in a barbed wire canoe. No wonder Lee Kuan Yew called us the ‘Poor white trash of Asia’.
What will happen, even if we avoid a war on China, is that the climate destabilisation catastrophe will bite us on the arse. Most people seem totally oblivious to how close the catastrophe is, and how rapidly it will engulf us. Austfailia will lose its agriculture and animal husbandry pretty quick, as the water disappears, then the uninhabitability of the Indonesia archipelago, as the wet bulb temperature passes the limit of human tolerance, will cause tens of millions of climate refugees to flee for their lives, and they won’t be heading north, that’s for sure. We’ll get a foretaste if Uncle Donald gets his war in the Gulf, and oil stops flowing to Singapore, and, therefore, petrol stops flowing to Austfailia. I expect that the Invisible Hand of the Holy Market will provide-or perhaps Morrison’s God will do it.So much to look forward to.
Well people, in special for outside the EU, meet and greet our new beloved leader EU president Ursula von der Leyen.
You’ll have probably never heard of her, and that is for good reasons. She is the worst minister that Germany has had in many, many years.
She has been minister of Defence, and has left it in total dismay. Not much functions, scarcity everywhere, and just a tiny percentage of material is operational. Not one submarine is operational. They can’t even find a proper rifle that can shoot straight, or has the right calibre. Exaggerated? This is a fairly neutral article about it: https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-biggest-enemy-threadbare-army-bundeswehr/
Behind closed doors (Germans don’t talk openly about such things) sarcastic jokes were made lately when two fighter jets collided, that these were the last operational jets of Ursula. With regrets for one pilot that died, okay.
No European citizen voted for her. From a survey, 60% of the Germans is against here appointment.
That doesn’t count. Her reputation is, that she is so *submissive* towards her overlords (she was at the latest Bilderberg conference too, there it might have been decided).
She was the lapdog of Merkel.
(Merkel is now on a ‘trembling’ tour, and said that she needed a glass of water. From former EU president Juncker it is well known in Brussels, that he also needs a glass of water regularly, but his staff knows that just a limited percentage of water is required).
Ursula will continue to destroy this continent. She practiced well on the Bundeswehr. I do hope that she has also read history books, this continent has quite a long and dark history, not at least just Germany.
Our tax money on democracy at work.
Cheers, Rob
Hi Rob,
So she was elected in rhe end…I watched an interview on TV of several Eurocrats saying she doesn’t have a vision or a project of her own for the EU …and how they wouldn’t vote for her….looks like she got enough votes in the end.
And like all A-list actors in entertainment, politics, academy, business, sports, media, pharma she is a (crypto) Jewish and a Zionist Intel asset. Shalom !
The feminazi started raving about Chinese malevolence, in investing in foreign countries, in the portion of her speech that I saw. Coming from a German Frau Gaulieter, after what Germany has done to Greece over the last ten years, that takes real chutzpah. At least the fear and hatred of the Western ‘Gods Upon the Earth’ for China is producing hilarious prodigies of hypocrisy and racist frenzy.
Don’t these Germans understand the seriousness of the threat of aggression by Russia. I mean – don’t they understand the threat those 33,000 troops on their borders pose … uh, wait a minute … I think that I got that wrong. The 33,000 troops are US troops stationed in Germany.
Well, so what, don’t these Germans understand that Russia could start applying sanctions to Germany the coerce them to do things against their national interests … uh, wait a minute … I thing that I got that wrong. It is the US who is threatening economic sanctions.
Well, so what, don’t these Germans understand that Russia aggression could cause a destabilizing flood of refugees into Germany… uh, wait a minute … I thing that I got that wrong. It was the US regime change wars that did that.
Well, so what, it is obvious that someone is threatening Germany and they better get their military in shape. Pronto.
Bilderberg 2019: List of the participants & Agenda

THE BILDERBERGER’S MEETING IN SWITZERLAND
by Peter Koenig — June 2, 2019
The 67th Bilderberg Meeting is taking place in Montreux, Switzerland from
30 May – 2 June 2019, where the about 130 invitees – so far confirmed –
from 23 countries, are staying at one of Switzerland’s most luxurious venues,
the Montreux Palace hotel. About a quarter of the attendees are women.
https://popularresistance.org/the-bilderbergers-upoming-meeting-in-switzerland/
By her appointment to the EU Ursula von der Leyen avoids years of investigation and potential jail time for her brazen corporate favors as German defense minister. I guess that is the most important aspect in her view.
I bet that it is hardly possible to get political top jobs nowadays without a solid track record of misbehavior or outright criminal activity, for it is this past that warrants a smooth steering by blackmail of those “leaders”.
Here in Austfailia gigantic corruption in the financial Moloch, revealed in a Royal Commission that barely scratched the surface, resulted in no prison sentences, and some slaps on the wrist. The so-called ‘authorities’ that were meant to ‘police’ these psychopaths were so deliberately ‘incompetent’ that it defied commonsense, but where else would a former ‘corporate cop’ be employed after ‘public service’ but with the blood-suckers they so carefully protected over the years? After a few months hiatus, all indications are that the leeches are back to business as usual.
I can’t resist painting pictures like this…
In Yonder Town
there is an alehouse
in yonder town,
where men do meet
and drink to forget
to listen to tales
that grow with each round,
of dreams once held
now lost to regret
there is a green reach
in yonder town,
echoing with laughter
and voices that call
where children climb
and old folks pine;
remembering long ago
they too were ‘this tall’
there is an old church
in yonder town,
where families gather
and pray together
a priest administers
there unto the flock,
and promises a heaven
tied to a tether
there is a graveyard
in yonder town,
where heads are bowed low
and solemn words heard
where tears are shed
and goodbyes said,
as old worn out bodies
are slowly interred…
there is an alehouse
in yonder town,
where men and women meet
and drink to forget,
to share their tales
of woe with each round,
of dreams once held
now lost to regret
To your good health ‘mon ami’… the very best fine Ale available on tap… from Dimitar’s Celestial Pub!
No time for regrets I am afraid… as well as for sorrows, they always seem to all go down the drain… through the back alleyways… before and after the rain.
Sun shines always above the clouds in ‘Thunder Town’ and these little green voices from ‘Younger Town’… only feed innocent new seeds… with joy.
The young ones will tirelessly work the merry-go-round, on some higher ‘pitch’… ever and ever mighter and lighter, full on with more refined elixir.
Under the trade mark of… ‘Wonder Town’.
Hear, hear! And a toast to ‘Wonder Town’ and friends such as yourself, dear kpax, ( and all other kindred souls, be they near, far or present in silence… ) May all good hearts flourish in that ‘wondrous land’ while our feet walk the dusty streets of ‘yonder town’! In Spirit and Friendship, D.
Everyone has bad days, even Gordon Duff.
I’m not taking a stance on his post. Yet, having read all of Zechariah Sitchin’s books, having paid attention to Dr. Steven Greer’s Disclosure Project, and being overly familiar with evangelical protestantism, it was a bit entertaining. I thought maybe a prayer would help.
https://www.veteranstoday.com/2019/07/11/disclosure-is-not-coming/
I will happily take a stance on this post. Gordon Duff would appear to be a delusional nut-job (to the extent that he believes what he wrote here).
I have not encountered any of his writings in the past, so I don’t know anything about his history. But if I do in future, I will give them a pass.
How does he know these absurd things he claims? He just asserts these whackadoodle things as though that’s all he needs to do.
Classic bizarro conspiracy writing, right down to the “now you understand?” ending. Gahhh…
There is a wide availability of literature that is Zecharia Sitchen like – researching for alternative sources for the advent of man or mankind and alternative history. Just off the top of my head, Michael Cremo, Graham Hancock, Jim Mars, Michael Tellinger (who I’ve met), and really stacks more. In addition there are creation myths aplenty with alternative explanations of how the earth came to be and how mankind came to be. And then there are the myths of the Dogon people, West Africa, where the creation myths have an eerie similarity to those of the Salish Indians, North West Americas – even to the drawings and art. The mythical stories usually include some kind of extra-terrestrial visitors doing certain things on earth, to the people, like dna changes. Michael Tellinger (and I’ve been to the site), seems to think he has found the site where Enki and Enlil actually mined gold and the two brothers had differences of opinion and one made the bad DNA decisions and the other the good DNA decisions.
Then there is this guy, and I truly forget his name now, who was a very accomplished translator of certain old languages for the dark treasure books in the bottom of the Vatican, which nobody gets to see. He has been speaking up about real translations, which he was not allowed of course to get published. A lot of DNA messing about in those as well.
You do know that with archeology if any object seems as if it does not fit in the planning of the diggers, that objects gets thrown out .. as a proverbial artefact, and never even spoken about.
“Now you understand … ” lol. An no, I am not a fan of Gordon Duff whatsoever.
Lest I be misunderstood, I do not subscribe to any ‘official’ narrative. It’s just that it would be useful if someone who is making very out-there claims would explain how he arrived at them.
But wherever there is uncertainty, people just pour in their fever dreams, mostly incompatible with all the other fever dreams put forth. This just gets into ‘god of the gaps’ territory. You can’t just assert stuff and expect me to take it seriously. Evidence! Some chain of reasoning, however tenuous.
I somewhat disagree with your characterization of archaeological research – paradigms are overturned all the time with unexpected findings. The thing to remember is that archaeology (and indeed, science in general) is not some sort of monolithic programmatic thing. Science is ‘done’ by people, usually teams of people, and they are often very competitive with one another, and love to see ‘accepted’ truths upended. That is the way science works at its best. All sorts of ideas and theories percolate around out there. I know how it works – I once ‘did science’ decades ago. Probably the trickiest thing to keep an eye on is the funding… the research isn’t a problem for the most part – it’s what gets funded to be researched…
“the research isn’t a problem for the most part – it’s what gets funded to be researched…” – exactly, that’s why we have so many problems with the actual politicians in the world, most of them are totally incompetent and with each day, they lead us towards disaster, it’s like having a blind pilot on a plane full of passengers.
Paleoanthropology is re-writing ‘human’ history every day. We don’t need no ‘aliens’-the aliens are us.
Amarynth, maybe you are thinking of Mauro Biglino?

Yes! And Thanks! – I’ve even read what is available in English, but the name would not come to me.
Dogon tribe & the Sirius mystery
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzQ3lmB8_pU
The mysteries of the Dogon,Nommo, Oannes & Anunnaki are revealed
in this video. The tribe of the Dogon people are famous for their work
of art. They also have an incredible religion. See the video and discov-
er why antropologists studied the relation between the Dogon and ali-
ens. And the link of the Dogon with the ancient cultures of Egypt and
Mesopotania.
The Dogon people are interesting, and equal to Michael Tellinger (and others) that work with 2 brothers, the Dogon also work with twins (on the human side).
“The blind Dogon elder, Ogotemmêli, taught the main symbols of the Dogon religion to the French anthropologist Marcel Griaule in October 1946.[14] Griaule had lived amongst the Dogon people for fifteen years before this meeting with Ogotemmêli had taken place. Ogotemmêli taught Griaule the religious stories in the same way that Ogotemmêli had learned them from his father and grandfather; instruction which he had learned over the course of more than twenty years.[15] What makes the record so important from a historical perspective is that the Dogon people were still living in their oral culture at the time their religion was recorded. They were one of the last people in west Africa to lose their independence and come under French rule.[14]
The Dogon people with whom the French anthropologists Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen worked during the 1930s and 40s had a system of signs which ran into the thousands, including “their own systems of astronomy and calendrical measurements, methods of calculation and extensive anatomical and physiological knowledge, as well as a systematic pharmacopoeia”.[16] ”
There are very many people that hold that we are not alone on our earth even now, or that in the past we were not alone.
Then there is a very polarizing Russian mathematician called Anatoly Fomenko, and he is hated specifically among the religions. He has found, using mathematical means, a 1,000 year change in the accepted history of humankind, which is the well accepted Scaligerian timeline. Of course, if you throw around 1,000 years here, the church and religious history changes fundamentally. I’ve read his first 2 books, but it is heavy going and I have to brush up on mathematics every now and again – slow reading, 2 books, 2 years.
Fomenko sounds like a brilliant nut-case. I suspect that the New Chronology is just a gigantic leg-pull on the cognoscenti and intellectuals. What would he make of Gobekli Tepe?
I’m afraid that Duff is the original, eponymous, ‘duffer’. Veterans Today is the Mad magazine of paranoid disinformation.
Its the editors’notes that are worthwile reading.
There are some good stories and some bad, your a big boy you can filter it out.
No disrespect sir, i enjoy your posts.
Cheers sir
There are some strange goings on over here as we Americans approach the 50th anniv of the moon landing.
Rich people, billionaires, have concluded that we as a species, are polluting the planet to such a degree that if steps to leave it and find another place to dwell are not begun now, that we could perish as a species in the near(100 years) future. They are planning on finding frozen water on the south pole of the moon and using that resource to propel themselves to where it is they believe they need to be to survive.
Now this is the most ridiculous thing I have heard about in quite some time, and I wonder just how much time, and how many failures in operation it would it take b4 these people either gave up, or simply lost their minds and croaked about all the future doom.
Do they really not believe in someone or something with a greater call who’s job it is to be one step ahead of this folly? If this is not atheist behavior at its best, I do not know what could be called such a thing as an atheist pioneer. I hope the gvt is not funding this with any degree of matching money or I might have file another type of gvt lawsuit to slow this madness down.
Personally, I don’t think it’s madness. It’s fast approaching reality. They/we have f…ed up the plant, and now, those who have means, are looking for a way out ( to f..k up some other planet, if at all possible…)
It’s not possible to move, so I expect the global parasite overlords will go in for the extermination of the 99% of ‘useless eaters’ that they fear and HATE. It is interesting just what Epstein et al were getting up to in financing ‘cutting edge’ science, including in genetics. Bio-warfare just has to be the way to go. Probably blamed on Russia or China or ‘terrorists’.
I do not disagree w/your statement except that have they really thought their plans out? That some different entity perhaps has the same objective,(looking for a way(s) out), but a different way to achieve this right here on this Earth. If they had not been living underground like some hole digging critter 1/2 their lives, they might better understand the ways and the means of the gods, and choose a different(more sustainable) path to achieve this same goal.
If there is not some miracle of reversion from the neoplastic capitalist infinite growth system, in 100 years we will have been extinct for decades. I really marvel at how unaware 99% of the population seem of just how catastrophic our situation is ALREADY. And irreversible in less than centuries, if we get lucky, and a few tens of millions pull through.
I’m generally not so skeptical or into ‘the sky is falling’ Malthusian (there will never be enough) methodology. Let the rich leave otherwise you know what they say … If all else fails, Eat the Rich. Us humans have this habit of surviving somehow after getting ourselves right to the brink. The planet is more resilient than what we think – its been around for a hell of a long time and to my thinking self-correcting. I like Putin – he is cool and he is right there, on the top of the curve, asking the right questions and hopefully tinkering with the right solutions in his corner of the world – take a look:
Putin Challenges Malthusians: Fusion Energy Is a National Priority for Russia
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/07/16/putin-challenges-malthusians-fusion-energy-national-priority-for-russia/
And if we can crack the problem of clean energy, a whole lot of other problems go away. Yes, there would be a lot of cleanup to do. Capitalism as it stands today as a religion of manipulation of scarcity, must go. The concept of war and making war must leave our planet. We gotto stop making coca cola with our water sources – are we absolutely nuts – taking something as basic and necessary as water and changing it into a caustic beverage in a plastic bottle?. The Chinese are making massive agriculture with massive rain making systems. Don’t know about this – is rain finite? And then the one that we love to hate, Amazon has just asked for permission to shoot up +3,200 new communication satellites. They’re beginning to fight about near earth space – such a problem – oy vey .. where to put my satellites?
This human species is going to space, I think. And if we start thinking correctly about technology we can make a very big difference while getting the bees and those things that are important for our souls, like trees, flowers, bees, birds to survive. I was reading a while ago the animal and plant life in the exclusion zone at Chernobyl are returning .. wolves and a type of horse that was thought to be on the point of extinction or very scarce. The animals are healthy supposedly and the plant life as well. There are more things in the heavens and on the earth than what we really can contemplate grasshopper (lol – apologies to some writer). Let’s not give up now.
Hi Amarynth,
Nicely put. It would be behoove us to become more familiar with the reality of Deep Time. That is to say that the Earth is billions of years old and is likely to be around for a few billion years in the future with who knows how many lifeforms to evolve, flourish and become extinct long after we’ve disappeared, regardless of whether we colonize the Solar System or not. Our existence, ideas and civilizations are barely an ephemeral blip in the greater Cosmic drama.
I detest so many of the destructive things that we do to the planets ecosystems, as too much of it is driven by greed and ignorance. Yet there are technologies and paths of development that we can take which will both emancipate us as a species and hopefully restore and preserve large parts of the biosphere. That thought is uplifting and I really hope to see us begin to seriously explore our Solar System and start the process of off-planet colonization within my own lifetime. I am envious of the wonders my children could experience in their own lifetimes.
The re-wilding of Chernobyl demonstrates that nature is far more resilient than we sometimes give her credit. Something positive spawned from a very real human tragedy.
So yes I’m with you: it would be madness and supreme folly to give up now. This dance has barely started.
Okie this is abit toward the woo-woo end but its worth thinking about it beyond the known narrative –
Matthew LaCroix & The Stage of Time_Ancient God Code of History Found
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BjcrbbnKwU
It shows me, again, throughout the ancient lost civilisation, there is/are force(s) beyond the earth-bound control …
If we do not give up – what do we have to give NOT to give up?
p/s this is an open question just in case it reads like pessimism
For me, the Alice and wonderland rabbit hole comes back to – If I am not this body, what am I? or Am I this body? To me, its a body issue, if we can determine that, thus from that anchor/presumption, we can postulate the purpose of it, the meaning of it, the function of it etc – whatever we then call “reality in making’ or ‘our daily lives’.
Is the body a divine punishment prison? a soul trap? a temporary shelter to karmic correction? A programmed DNA-controlled meat-suit, nothing more than puppet on strings for some other “EYES” to watch? etc… Then I may, from there endeavour to figure out, if I have consciousness and freewill, at any extend at all, then to more – what lies ahead, above, within, below and behind… I may know if I give up (or don’t give up), if it were my power to control my destiny?! Therefore my past and my future. If they were my “Mine”?
What I am questioning here – Who is to say, I am not programmed to think “not to give up” but there is a force beyond me, a DNA-program or celestial-program to give up on me anyway?!
OR – Don’t we want to believe god/nature is wiser than us? Maybe when we give up the body, say like forced by the programmed longevity called death, we discover we can exist without the body – so giving up is a good discovery (or remembrance)? OR NOT – one ceased to exist and never know no more pain of not knowing?!?
A pebble in a gushing river is just one but rolling along until it get grind into lesser than a sand and then it dissolves – like it never existed before… If Matthew LaCroix is right, and many others are along this line of ‘theory’, then there is no reason human spices needs to exist in this creation, esp when we rely on death-stuff (ie food, clothing, transport etc) to continue our existence and worse, make all kind of fake stuff (fiat money, share market, bonds, country borders, law, tax etc) and call it ‘reality’… We know the body can and will die. What is the soul, also can and will die?! So far the assumption and/or make-believe (by the religion) is the soul is immortal. What else have they not lie to us?!!!
If we don’t give up, dear friends, where will we be ‘NEXT’?!
peace
I am scorching my mind with the same question for many years, good to see when others do the same, anyway, there are no easy answers or rather there are no answers at all, so what can you rely on ? you can rely on your reading accumulated in years and experience on your own skin. Every such questions begins or ends with “is there life after death ?” most probably, this is a silly question because “life” cannot “die”, everywhere you look in the Universe there is Life, well, all kind of life forms. The soul itself is Life, the body is just a suit – like that for astronauts – for the soul to be able to live unharmed on this Earth, the soul being of a much higher resonance, needs this “suit” to be accommodated (the accommodation begins in the mother’s womb) If Death would mean the End of All what you’ve been, that would be a nonsense of the Life itself, why so much struggle to behave in a good manner with your loved ones, friends, neighbors or other people ? you could simply chose the other way around and show your bad face, snap them, kick them, rob them, kill them for your own – relative, still unknown – time-benefit here on Earth. So, indeed, something, someone ( or all we all together) have created this “Matrix” in which we live in. Don’t ask me for the reason, I have no “proofs”, this is my speculation if you will, using my tiny mind, trying to follow some kind of logic (because I think that there must be a logic) otherwise everything would crash or would have been crashed already long ago in chaos, thus disappearing in nothingness.
If the religion gave us a lie by saying that the soul is immortal, why they did that ? as we know, the religions are led also by humans, they have the same limited life-time, do they not realize it – whatever they gain with power and influence on people ? they are not chosen to live forever in this body !
So, again, where is the logic ? Personally, I think the religions are a first step in a direction which must be followed by science, otherwise we shall create our own Hell.
It is certainly worth exploring the ‘woo woo’ pieces of the mosiac, given that exploration seems to inevitably lead to discovery in some form.
I’ve long thought that our Universe is just one reality that exists within a vast and perhaps limitless ecology of universes. Parallel realities? Sure, why not: lots of pebbles being carried along lots of river beds, flowing in all different directions but maybe only rarely, if ever, intersecting.
The pebble is crushed and its components are transformed into alternate states. A pebble is gone, but its existence perhaps added another bit of information to the Universe as it learns about itself.
As for the soul, perhaps it is nothing more than biologically-sculptered qubits that return to a larger computation once the human body dies and is recycled. At any rate we are all destined to find out sooner or later. I’d certainly like to learn and witness as much as I can before my own clock stops ticking, as selfish as this sounds. Personally I take pleasure in trying to make society a better place, but the aquisition of knowledge and experiences are the ultimate opiates.
Considering the major advances, within the last fifty years, of all the technologies used , and the USA government ability to created the needed finances for any major project, why have the Americans not gone back to the moon ?
Sorry for a glib answer lol …. but sometimes we have to laugh – the tariffs were too prohibitive and the moon population refused to make war! (And then there is the mindset that they never went but it was a big green screen hoax).
More seriously, the space program was very much denuded of funds, while the funds went into thin air. Now the Chinese have probed the dark side of the moon, the Indians are trying to get there but somehow failing, the Russians are announcing probes … The world has changed.
Thank you for your response, yet i don’t buy it as being a viable reason for not having followed up such an achievement during the whole of the last fifty years.
I think because there isn’t much on the moon except moon rocks so they don’t see the point of a huge expense just to go there again.
French say oops on viral Ivanka Trump moment

These “Unwanted Ivanka” memes keep getting better and better
https://www.queerty.com/unwanted-ivanka-memes-keep-getting-better-better-20190703
We have heard of the Trade negotiations with regards to Greater England and the European Union, and the British Parliament is the Puppet of the few People who Control the English Empire, and the former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, is one of those few People who Control the English Empire.
The terms Hard Brexit and No deal Brexit have been used, however, these terms are Codes for a Hard Brexit upon the European Union, and a No deal Brexit for the European Union, and where Greater England would Gladly accept a No deal Brexit, and would want the European Union to be made to appear to take All of the Blame for that.
There is the Withdrawal Agreement, that the European Union Negotiated with the Prime Minister of Greater England, and so it Cannot be said that there is a No deal Brexit, but Greater England put on an Act that their Parliament rejected the Brexit Deal, because Greater England Always wanted a No deal Brexit, even before the Brexit Referendum, and if the Liberal Democrats had a majority in Parliament, then even they would Engineer a No deal Brexit.
The European Union is Willing to make Reasonable Concessions in order to Reach a Deal, because it is in their Interest to have a Reasonable Deal, but England will be Unreasonable, because England Secretly want a No deal Brexit for the Reasons mentioned in this comment.
The Reason for that is for England to obtain the extra Bonus of having those Continual Europeans who are affected by a No deal Brexit become Dissatisfied with the European Union.
England saw that the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum Result was too Close for England, and there have been People in Britain who wanted to Leave the European Union ever since Britain joined the Common Market, but the Scottish Independence Vote made those Very few People who Control the English Empire want to Leave the European Union in order to Preserve the United Kingdom.
That is Why Britain held the Brexit Referendum, and it Could Easily have been Rigged, because Deception, Deviousness, and Treachery are the English Way, and Especially so during their Pretend Brexit negotiations, which was used as a Smokescreen and a Delaying tactic, while England was Secretly negotiating free trade deals with other Countries.
We saw that former Prime Ministers of Greater England Pretended to want Britain to remain in the European Union, and that they resigned to try to Deceive others of their Real Desire for a No deal Brexit.
The Reason that England Always wanted a No deal Brexit, is because those Countries that have Secretly agreed to a free trade deal with Britain, want as Much Trade as they can get for themselves.
They Would Also Feel Betrayed and Would be Resentful of Britain, if Britain made a Deal with the European Union after those Secret trade talks.
Those Countries, would Not put Official Sanctions on Britain, but they Could pass on Instructions that All of their Citizens Should Voluntarily Boycott All Goods and Services from Britain, so that Scotland and Wales become Independent Countries and Join the European Union, and where Northern Ireland becomes an Independent Country, or it may Reunite with the Republic of Ireland as their way to Rejoin the European Union.
England’s Puppet Colonies in the Southern Hemisphere Would Continue to trade with England, but those Countries in the British Commonwealth may trade less with England, and Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland may put Made in Scotland and Made in Wales and Made in Northern Ireland on their Products to Distinguish them from Made in Britain, because of possible Unofficial Boycotts of Goods and Services from England, and if England objects to this, then it Could be an Issue for their Independence from Britain.
England and the Clintons, Maliciously Slandered and Criminally Attacked Serbia, and then England and America Immorally recognized Serbia’s Province of Kosovo as an independent country.
This is Why there are Countries who are Wondering Why would the Republic of Ireland recognize Kosovo as an independent country, while they also want Irish Reunification, because doing that helps to Validate or Accept Northern Ireland’s independence.
England and America under the Democrats left Continental Europe the Problems of Kosovo and Ukraine, and have Weakened and Want to further Weaken the Economy of the European Union, in order to help Independence Movements on Continental Europe at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_active_separatist_movements_in_Europe .
We have heard of the Continued Malicious Slander of the Blameless Journalist and Whistleblower and True Public Servant, Julian Assange.
The Latest Lies are that he used the Ecuadorian Embassy as a Command Headquarters to help Donald Trump become President, but this is a Slanderous Lie.
This is because it is Only Reasonable for Julian Assange to Not want Hillary Clinton to be elected, because he was Defending himself and other People in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, because he has read Hillary Clinton’s Email of how she Would order a drone strike on the Ecuadorian Embassy to kill Julian Assange, and we All Know of that Email, and so Julian Assange acted in Self Defence of himself and other People, and this is Legal under International Law, and if any Country helped Julian Assange protect himself, then they did an Honourable thing.
It Could be that England has Hillary Clinton’s Emails, because she may be Secretly Working for the English Empire, and exchanging Secret Emails with England, and Perhaps England Secretly Funds the Clinton Foundation to make Hillary Clinton their Puppet President of America, who they want to Balkanize America, and Create the Nation of Aztlan at https://www.google.com/search?q=nation+of+aztlan&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjehLOi17vjAhWg_XMBHSS1BCMQ_AUIECgB&biw=1120&bih=626 .
This is Why there are People who think that President Donald Trump is Not Racist to want Legal immigration, and that it is Not racist to Preserve the Union, even as Abraham Lincoln did, and Not want the Balkanization of America.
It could be that President Donald Trump said that he would drone the Ecuadorian Embassy in London if they did not hand over Julian Assange to him, or it Could be that President Donald Trump will be accused of that, Yet, it Would be that it is More Likely that that the Southern American Ecuadorian President, Knows of the Nation of Aztlan.
England wants President Donald Trump to take the bait of prosecuting the Blameless and Innocent Julian Assange in order to help the Democrats win the White House on the issue of the Freedom of the Press.
We have the Proof that England wants the Balkanization of America, because of Christopher Steele, Alexander Downer, and Sir Kim Darroch, and Others may have been Following Orders to attempt a Coup on a Legitimately Elected President of America.
I do Not think that the Democratic Party are aware of the Secret Agenda of England, but they just Follow the Orders of the Clintons, because they Know that it is the Fullness of the Obedience that gives Money in their Bank Accounts, and that they are Not Paid to think, but to Only to Obey without asking any questions, and to Strictly Follow the Clintons Orders on a need to know basis, and All Democrats Know that California has the Most Electoral College Votes of any State of America, even though they are Unaware that the Nation of Aztlan Considers California to be an Integral part of the Nation of Aztlan.
There are Many Similarities between the History of Serbia’s Province of Kosovo and America’s Southern Border, and where Kosovo was once Entirely Ethnically Serbian, and they were Hospitable to the few Albanians who crossed the border hundreds of years ago, and then more Albanians came, and they Never assimilated into Serbian Society or ever considered themselves to be Serbian Citizens, and then the Albanians who are the Most Racist People in Europe, Allied themselves with Hitler and the Third Reich, and they Ethnically Cleansed Many Serbs from Kosovo, and then England and the Clintons promised the Albanians, Serbia’s Province of Kosovo, if the Albanians would be Nazi England’s and Nazi America’s Puppet to help break up the European Union.
England Considers themselves to be the Brains, and that America is the Brawn in this so called Special Relationship, and the European Union wants to avoid a No deal Brexit for Britain, and has even made the Generous Offer to the United Kingdom to Remain as a Member of the European Union.
Today is the 5th anniversy of MH17 catastrophe
US and Ukraine Fail to Provide Evidence on MH17 Crash – Russian Ambassador
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201907171076272026-us-ukraine-fail-to-provide-investigators-with-data-on-mh17-crash/
This is for Rob, Anonymous Capitals (Which I Mostly Resonate With…..) but especially amarynth with whom I share the richest and widest spectrum and range of friendly and passionate disagreement to…..amazing levels of simultaneous ….agreement!
The Disagreement comes mostly within the CryptoCosmos and the Q-niverse/Trumposhere …………but these are Mere Micro-worlds…..it must be admitted compared to the Glorious Cosmos which 100% subsumes them ………..and everything else….including ALL disagreements and agreements to boot!
So I will delay a day or two my Crypto-Update (another “Sky Is Falling” scenario……..currently into A BLOODY-RED SEA…..lol) and say this paragraph of hers I consider “Spot-On” although I know many such as are dear departed Dennis…and many that “feel” like him on this score……..may react with pure dread irrational terror to such………..inspiring (to others!) optimism:
Amarynth says, in this very Cafe:
“This human species is going to space, I think. And if we start thinking correctly about technology we can make a very big difference while getting the bees and those things that are important for our souls, like trees, flowers, bees, birds to survive. I was reading a while ago the animal and plant life in the exclusion zone at Chernobyl are returning .. wolves and a type of horse that was thought to be on the point of extinction or very scarce. The animals are healthy supposedly and the plant life as well. There are more things in the heavens and on the earth than what we really can contemplate grasshopper (lol – apologies to some writer). Let’s not give up now.”
Hear, hear!
Optimism got us this far and rather than going out with a Whimper…I’d rather take the risk of going out with a Bang!
FUSION, Baby………..but controlled in power and industrial applications not uncontrolled missile exchanges!
And, what is the Greatest Danger….both outside and inside our diverse, Multi-polar ranks??? Pessimism!
And where is that disease MOST endemic……..Old Rotting Europa and Brittania with festering sores in Wall Street, DC and Hollywood!
And Rob nails one of the worst carriers of the virulent virus of Imperial Decay: Ursula Van Der Leyden!
From this morning’s L-Pac Lead:
“On July 16, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen was elected by a very narrow margin to be the new president of the European Commission. As part of the process of garnering the necessary votes among the totally fractious European Parliament, she delivered a hair- raising speech promoting the British Empire’s long-standing policy of Green fascism intended to massively depopulate the planet.
Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche immediately sounded the alarm over the Von der Leyen speech, and the broader policy drive behind it. In a discussion with associates, Zepp-LaRouche stated that what is underway is a really massive effort to do exactly what leading depopulation advocate and climate change fanatic Hans Joachim “John” Schellnhuber, CBE, had said in 2011, with his call for “the Great Transformation of the global economy, the decarbonization of the world, which he asserts has a carrying capacity for only 1 billion people. Or, as the mentor of green superstar child Greta Thunberg stated in an article in 2001, the carrying capacity of the world is only half a billion people!”
Zepp-LaRouche explained that the driving force behind this policy of genocide is a bankrupt British Empire which is intentionally spreading pessimism throughout the planet, especially among its youth. “We are looking at a complete onslaught by the British Empire and the oligarchy, knowing perfectly well that their system is coming to an end. And since they have been completely unwilling to change anything after the 2008 near meltdown and systemic crisis,” they have opted to fostering wars and to drastically downshift the planet’s population. Furthermore, “they know they are confronted with the rise of a New Paradigm,” centered on China’s Belt and Road Initiative, “which already has been joined by 126 nations and about 30 major international organizations, clearly representing the majority of the world, and they basically have decided that they are going for broke.”
https://larouchepac.com/20190717/bankrupt-system-demands-depopulation
Much could be said about the JFK assassination in this regard (the pessimistic “down-shift” demanded then by The Empire) but rather than dwell on that dreary past, I would rather urge the many pessimists and nostalgic fans of their imagined “Good Old Days” to reflect on one simple reality to do with the idea that you’d be a lot happier if a lot of other human inhabitants of this earth……….were just to disappear:
That unfortunate, pessimistic and ultimately inhuman emotion…………is what literally leads to what I have pointed out many times before …as “The Hereditary Principle” absolutely explaining and begetting:
The Imperial wars and genocide……..the Mind Control and Cultural Decay……the Satanism, Cannibalism, Human Compromise and Ritual Sacrifice……….. Epstein’s Island and the Temple to Moloch thereon, for example and many others horrors besides……………that y’all love to complain about….but which, from the standpoint of the Empire of Forced Depopulation ………are “as necessary as they are disgusting”…..as The Most Evil Man of The Twentieth Century …Lord Bertrand Russell… so vilely put it.
Why “necessary”?
Necessary as a “disciplinary tool” to enforce the ruthlessness required to carry out usch genocide and depopulation demanded by the Empire “Elites”.
Necessary to break the will and eliminate the humanity even in their own ranks that might rebel against such evil and hinder or destroy its deadly efficiency in murdering the human will and spirit to resist.
I recommend ridding yourselves of ANY of their inhuman ideology, that creeps in with pessimism and the suicidal urge………to “give up”.
They don’t really have to be demanded by empire “elites”, they could, or it could, also be a requirement by someone(s) who gave the human race a chance at life, and then that same human race denied to give these same ones (who were first so generous in the giving), the chance to further their evolutionary status.
The reasons of who, how, and why it all occurred are already a known, the peoples who are still awaiting their chance, are already a known (the ones who so sophisticatedly named all the trees, critters, and things oh so many light years ago).
The only unknown is when, (will all their requirements be met), and how (is it that they plan to arrange this final depopulation), in addition to, the percentages of successfully accomplishing this task here on this Earth, and weather or not it has been done somewhere else in this very large universe. If it has already been done somewhere else, i would imagine once said items are collected that it can then successfully begin here, and if it has never been done, what are the percentages of it being done here for the first time?.
So in essence its either just about a 100% guaranteed peace offering, or a near zero chance at success and guaranteed war to infinity event, only time shall tell.
No riddle, just playing my fiddle.
Dear Bro, when you talk about pessimism, you may generalize, Those who are “pessimists” are just a tiny part of the global population – me included, well I am more skeptical than pessimist – probably people who are thinking more deeply, then you have a somewhat larger part of optimists – you are there among those – and then you have the large majority who are in the middle or have no disposition to have an opinion of above, living their daily life how they get it, not being interested in thinking further. There are also other criteria which form the mentality and emotions of different people on this planet, they can be and most surely are, related to the places they live in for generations. Generally speaking, the Europeans and those who have roots in or from Europe, are more pessimistic (including N.America) than other people on other parts of the world and that even if they live in a much lower wealth. Probably it has to do also with culture and history, Europe had been devastated by many wars in its history, the fear of losing something lies in the vein of European generations, that’s not a coincidence. Those who not so long ago (200, 300 years) have emigrated to N.America, Australia etc., brought their fears with them. If you take a Chinese, if you talk with them, they are not pessimistic, not even the Vietnamese, the Japanese are different, other mentality. So, what I’m trying to scuff at, is that pessimism is not universal and cannot be induced by any British Agency or anything else – they can achieve some scores in Europe and N.America, Australia etc.
I think also that the white race is much more inclined to “pessimism” than any other race.
Schellnhuber is not a ‘climate change fanatic’. He is a climate scientist. The fanatics are those who deny the long established science, the massive scientific consensus and who STILL deny the evidence from reality. Now that is fanaticism. The carrying capacity, at Western standards of living, while retaining the planet’s biodiversity (after restoring it!), is, in fact one to two billion at most. Without its humane reduction, over several generations, to that level, it will in any case decrease to that number, but tragically and amidst great suffering. Such an existence would be far more harmonious and enjoyable for all concerned, too.

I just read minutes ago that Turkey will not be allowed to buy F-35’s from the US, since acquiring S-400 missiles from Russia. I expect they’ll be buying fighters from Russia now. Interesting times…
You might recheck the source, story around here is that that plane has quite a few major defects that are going to take a long time to resolve, this is not something you would want to advertize, rather the typical thing here is that if you dont want something for some reason, the stated reason becomes, “not allowed to” and this is then the end of the story. Its a win win politically, and a lose lose in reality. And that’s just the way the grade A disaster likes it.

From the US office of the press secretary….it finally happened:
BREAKING: The U.S. has formally kicked Turkey out of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program over Ankara’s buying S-400 missile interceptors from Russia
Let’s see what happens when Turkey intends to buy Su-57 instead.
Sanctions, ‘leverage’?
Doesn’t NATO use the strategic air base Incirlik in Turkey? Including nuclear weapons, and rumours are that it is used as a transportation hub for heroin from Afghanistan?
Interesting developments.

I got interested in the “4 horsewomen of the apocalypse”, as Trump calls the 4 young newcomer women in the US House. This is human interest and not making political or partisan political commentary. What got me interested, is the mayhem that they are causing and I don’t read much of US internal politicking. The previous woman that I remember that said the things that these 4 say, was Cynthia McKinney – and she was attacked equally.
Trump is tweeting almost obsessively about these newcomers that should not have any big say really. Yet, his comments are deeply racist and deeply misogynist, and his crowd follows him with no idea in their heads the forces that they are unleashing.
Take a look at the photo here on the RT report. Yes, we can be sure that RT perhaps picked a special photo, a little fanning of the flames. Then take a look at what the crowd is chanting — Send Her Back —, which of course is the replacement of the Hillary chant, — Lock Her Up! Well, Hillary the old beasty Harpie is not locked up and she is not going to be locked up.
https://www.rt.com/usa/464432-send-back-omar-chant/
Trump is repositioning all evil on the democrats. They are the evil ones. But I am telling you that these words from Trump towards these women contain an evil in itself. It is deeply evil – because it calls on further division, fans the flames of racial hatred and those of so-called American exceptionalism vs all else, and causes a cult-like chanting for Trump that is downright scary. I have read enough and looked at enough imaging and watched enough film to remember the previous time in history where we saw this.
The one tweet says it well: “The move from “lock her up” in 2016 to “send her back” today is the move from strongman lawlessness to white nationalism as your operating principle. Welcome to the 2020 campaign.”
If you go and search specifically for photos of women cheering for Hitler, the expressions on the faces are eerily similar even though these American women are more ‘out there’ in their physicality.
Two comments from The Sirius Report:
The Sirius Report
@thesiriusreport

The polarisation of the American people, via the grossly offensive illusionary partisan political shitshow, is going to have highly damaging consequences when the US goes through the paradigm shift.
#Trump continues to demonstrate that it is very easy to push his buttons. He seems incapable of avoiding such scenarios. Ultimately this is going to impact his presidency in ways which could have far reaching consequences.
——————-
It becomes clear why Lavrov said that there will be no improvement of relationships with the US until after 2020 elections. The schisms are now too deep internally in the US. I’m beginning to think that the country is going to shatter. If the US starts a new war somewhere, it is these people that we see in that RT photo that will support it as blissfully as they chant for Trump today. Its like … I have seen the enemy and he is us!
The Sirius Report nails it—the adolescent posturing ( and the Mod Squad gals are no less inflammatory in the ways they play victim) by Trump is a smokescreen and a distraction. As for “if you don’t like it, go back to where you came from” : I was told that so many times in the 1960’s as I was leafleting army bases, high schools, grocery stories, neighborhoods and factories. In this case,Is it racist? Peter Lavelle makes the point that if everything is racist then nothing is racist i.e. language then becomes labeling that destroys the social compact.
What the white working class tribe really, really resents is that they can be reviled as white and privileged and no one calls that racist but some privileged Black politician can insult them and the flag and nothing happens. No outcry. no nothing. So, yes, the pent up resentment against some little loudmouth telling them they do not know how to be American and she will show them ( these are people by the way whose sons and brothers out of misguided patriotism fight the wars for the white upper class in this country) did come out in the chant: Send her back.!!! So high school. Not racist.
The social reality and how it is being manipulated most cleverly in Looneylandia is what I am trying ( mostly unsuccessfully with some of the ideologues posting here) to convey. It is not enough to be la-la positive all the time or quick to label. One has to look to see beneath the charming mask and the seeming good guy pose and the ( OMG) copious fake tears or pompous, self serving rage ( emotional manipulation). And know very well how the powers of image want us to see it. The ruling class wants us poor folk to be fighting each other for the low wage jobs and shrinking social support payments ( food, housing, medicare). And it wants us to feel bad about ourselves either as victim or victimizer.
Trump has not 1. stopped foreign wars, 2. secured the national borders 3. taken on price gouging by the pharmaceutical industry much less its lethal drug pushing on the American people. His base is not happy.
Besides the shouts of” send them back “may soon resonate throughout Europe. Face it : immigration in the form of mass migration is a form of modern day warfare. It is a tool of social engineering but no one is discussing it as such. Everyone just screams racist or fascist or communist…blah, blah. That the Congresswoman involved was less than grateful to be an American and in a position of power to really help people, is to her personal demerit. Is she some victim of racist attack? Oh please, she is a politician.

Keep your eye on the ball–not the call.
We’ve heard of ‘an eye for an eye’. The more modern version is seemingly ‘an oil tanker for an oil tanker’.
This must be that tanker that Iran said had technical problems and they towed it for repair work. See first post in this Cafe by Rob.

Only a little ship easily sacrificed by a small ops. team but such an event would be hugely symbolic. I am convinced something is going on….
Really interesting new CrossTalk on RT, https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/464359-turkey-erdogan-choice-nato/.
They had a Turkish guest from a government affiliated group on. Who unlike what we have wanted,spouted a pro-NATO line. Was happy to see Turkey aligned with the West,though also wanted to have relations with Russia. Basically,he talked just as Eric’s article told us. He said Turkey was in Syria to save the Syrians from the “crimes of Assad and Russia”.That Assad wasn’t the legitimate ruler of Syria,etc,etc,etc of lies. No,we have not “turned Turkey”,we can forget that idea. Instead we only have Erdogon playing both sides to get the best deal for himself.
The other interesting point came from the retired US military guest. He inadvertently gave away, in my opinion,an important bit of news,that was not picked up on by Peter at all. He said he (while still in the US military) was a part of 400 people sent to Aleppo province in Syria in 2012. That means the US had that many military people working in Syria right after the terrorist operation began. Something the US has constantly denied.But this man openly admitted to it on CrossTalk. I think he got carried away in his talking and spilled the beans.I wish Peter had called him on it,but he seemed to not notice the slip.

US Navy shoots down Iranian drone in Strait of Hormuz – Trump
https://www.rt.com/news/464513-us-navy-downs-iranian-drone/
Still waiting to learn what actually happened. I would say that the odds are less than 50/50 that the event transpired as trump describes.
Have an nice trip, Senator Rand Paul.
Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said they “have no information about losing a drone today.”
Fog of war starting early?
Was, most probably a DJI Mavic 2 Pro, carried by the small Iranian boats. Nothing like the Air-Liner sized American military drone.
Still, it’s a drone (USD 1700,-).
A drone is a drone , is a drone, right??
Kent
The Iranians claim they are not missing any drone, and even suggest the USN shot one of their own:
https://www.rt.com/news/464539-iran-denies-downed-drone/
Since the US Navy lately has proved great difficulty in identifying even large objects, like a container ship, an oil tanker, and even a docked transport ship, I doubt the USA story. Maybe this is also a made-up selling story for their anti-drone system?
A lot is happening around the Persian Gulf with not much facts and too much slogans. Things may settle down first, to get the real picture.

For the local Aboriginal people, the Anangu, World Heritage-listed Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park holds a special cultural significance. On October 26 2019, Uluru climbing will finally be banned.

Forget ‘manmade’: Berkeley bans gender-specific words
https://www.660citynews.com/2019/07/18/forget-manmade-berkeley-bans-gender-specific-words/
That means “manpower” will become “human effort” or “workforce,” while masculine and feminine pronouns like “she,” ”her,” ”he” and “him” will be replaced by “they” and “them,” according to the measure approved Tuesday by the City Council.
… but “she,” ”her,” ”he” and “him” are singular, while “they” and “them,” are plural !
furthermore if these “man holes” were re-named “woman holes”, I am certain this would be attacked as sexual misconduct and perversion ;-)
The reference to a “man-hole” is readily understood to be an opening which allows a large adult’s body to go through … a “maintenance-hole” does not readily covey this fact.

Texas Court Orders Father to Raise His Son As A Transsexual
http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=60480
A Texas father has been legally prohibited from raising his son as a boy because his ex-wife allegedly
decided their son is a transgender girl and is preparing him for “chemical castration at age 8” and a
future sex change surgery, which the father may be forced to help pay for.

We have heard how the American Congress has said that they want Serbia to investigate the Alleged killing by Allegedly Serbian Police of 3 Kosovo Albanian American citizens who were Members of the Terrorist Organization that America listed as a Terrorist Organization, and which Euphemistically called themselves the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), until 1998, which was when the Clinton Administration took the KLA off America’s Terrorist list after the Clinton and Lewinsky affair of 1995 to 1997, and that became Public in 1998 at https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2019&mm=07&dd=18&nav_id=107025 and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo_Liberation_Army and at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton%E2%80%93Lewinsky_scandal .
Hillary Clinton said of Bill Clinton’s presidency, that: “We are the President”, and this means that she was a Co President with Bill Clinton, and the War against Innocent Serbia was conducted to Deflect from the Public Clinton Lewinsky Scandal.
Wikipedia says: “The FR Yugoslav authorities regarded the ethnic Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) as a terrorist group, though many European governments did not. In February 1998, U.S. President Bill Clinton’s special envoy to the Balkans, Robert Gelbard, condemned both the actions of the Yugoslav government and of the KLA, and described the KLA as “without any questions, a terrorist group”. UN resolution 1160 took a similar stance. At first, (Before the Clinton Lewinsky Affair became Public) NATO had stressed that KLA was “the main initiator of the violence” and that it had “launched what appears to be a deliberate campaign of provocation”. The United States (and NATO) directly supported the KLA. The CIA funded, trained and supplied the KLA (as they had earlier trained and supplied the Bosnian Army). As disclosed to The Sunday Times by CIA sources, “American intelligence agents have admitted they helped to train the Kosovo Liberation Army before NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia”. In 1999, a retired colonel said that KLA forces had been trained in Albania by former US military working for MPRI. James Bissett, Canadian Ambassador to Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Albania, wrote in 2001 that media reports indicated that “as early as 1998, the Central Intelligence Agency assisted by the British Special Air Service were arming and training Kosovo Liberation Army members in Albania to foment armed rebellion in Kosovo. … The hope was that with Kosovo in flames NATO could intervene …”. After the war, the KLA was transformed into the Kosovo Protection Corps, which worked alongside NATO forces patrolling the Serbian province. In the following years, however, an ethnic Albanian insurgency emerged in Macedonia 2001. The leading nations of the EU of double standards condemned what it described as the “extremism” and use of “illegal terrorist actions” by the KLA in Macedonia, while saying the opposite for Serbia. Since the war, many of the KLA leaders have been active in the political leadership of Kosovo.
Those Members of the Kosovo Army who died from what is Unknown causes, if they are died, because the Nazi Terrorist Organization Known as Anglo America who is of No Principles or Values, Lies. Lies, and Lies, on so Many Things, and if those American citizens died, then that is what happens to some Soldiers in Wars, and it Could be that other Kosovo Albanians killed them, for Not handing over Money for Drugs, as the KLA sold Drugs, or Possibly they were murdered by the CIA, or found by the CIA, and thrown into a grave in the manner described in the Unreliable Anglo American account to try to Slander Serbia, and to try to justify England’s and America’s Guilt for their War Crimes against the Serbian People.
This Alleged or real event happened 20 years ago, and it is Difficult to solve, Unless Anglo America has No problems with Blaming the Innocent as we have seen with the Blameless and Innocent Journalist, Whistleblower, and True Public Servant, Julian Assange, who Should be Pardoned and Compensated.
What is Easy for the American Congress to solve is the Guilt of the Clintons, because Hillary Clinton wrote in one of her books she wrote, that she Ordered Bill Clinton to Commit War Crimes with Illegally Bombing Serbia.
The American Congress could Not put the Obviously Guilty Clintons on Trial, because the Clintons have the Films of Many of them that are Members of the American Congress that were Secretly made by Jeffrey Epstein.
We have seen how the former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa recently said that Julian Assange abused his Political Asylum in the London Embassy in a way that Influenced America’s 2016 Election.
There could be some People who may think that he was Intimidated to say that, and that is one Possibility as to Why he has just recently said that.
We Know that England Wants to have Influence in South America, where Spain has Influence, and it is because of the Falkland Islands that England Stole from the South American Country of Argentina.
We saw how England by means of Margaret Thatcher would Not extradite General Pinochet to Spain for the same Reason at https://eurasiafuture.com/2019/07/18/the-us-just-completed-its-quest-to-co-opt-the-patriotic-opposition-in-ecuador/ .
Another possibility is that, as a South American, then he wants the Nation of Aztlan even as the current President of Ecuador does and Followed England’s Advise to Take American Money and to hand over Julian Assange to the England who Will try to Lure President Donald Trump to have him extradited to America, to help the Democrats win the House, because they are More Likely to Help create an Independent Country of Aztlan from American Territory.
There are People who think that Jeffrey Epstein is Secretly working for the English Empire who want the Nation of Aztlan, so that English Empire is dealing with a Comparable Country, and we Know Hillary Clinton Employed Christopher Steele, and how Alexander Downer has Connections to the Clinton Foundation, and we Heard Sir Kim Darroch’s comments to help the Democrats at https://nypost.com/2019/07/17/prince-andrews-ties-to-jeffrey-epstein-could-become-the-most-sordid-royal-scandal-yet/ .
While I do Not think that the former President of Ecuador has ever been to Jeffrey Epstein’s Island, we Know that Jeffrey Epstein is an American Citizen who moved in High Circles of Influential Americans.
The American Congress Should put the Clintons on Trial for War Crimes, and Pay 30 Billion Dollars Compensation to Serbia.

A federal judge denied bail to billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday ahead of his
sex-trafficking trial. RT America’s Michele Greenstein and investigative journalist Ben Swann
join Rick Sanchez to discuss the Epstein case. Was his “hedge fund” really a hedge fund –
or a front for something else? Mounting evidence suggests that he may even be a Mossad
agent.
A few cryptocurrency news items – but the most important bit is bolded at the end:
For a few years now the status of cryptos was unsure in China. China has a court that is dedicated to issues on information technology and things digital. This court in China is completely virtual – everything is done on the internet and people testify and talk via conferencing. (I am sure soon they will have a blockchain app to manage their court business).
They have now by court declared that Bitcoin is not only legal (both ownership, trading and mining), but the internet court determined the attributes of virtual property of cryptocurrency by declaring that Bitcoin has the value, scarcity and disposable nature of property and should be recognised as its virtual property status.
In India, there were attempts to make all things crypto illegal. That has now been shelved and they are doing more ‘research’ in order to say something or do something.
Of course the last week was the 3 discussions in the US (I am not sure which areas of government, but it was a large discussion with a whole bunch of lawmakers participating). It was mostly about Facebook’s proposed Libra but as usual, there is no agreement on anything, excepting crytocurrencies are here to stay. Trump also said that he does not like cryptos and there is only one good currency and that is the US Dollar). I watched just a bit of one of these questions and answer sessions and I had to laugh. The guy talking for Facebook faced questions such as Why Facebook does not headquarter their Libra in the US, but rather in Switzerland. Some of these US lawmakers were quite adamant (and totally confused) that it should be in the US. The poor fellow answering for Facebook could not say a simple thing – Even a fake or faux crypto like Libra is international in scope and borders are meaningless. He kept waffling on about being close to the big banks.
Trace Mayer commented on most of these things. Trace Mayer has been in crypto for about 8 years, so, a long time in this asset class. You can lose the first minute 30 or so of this video and go directly where the interview starts. In this interview Mayer confirms what I said some years ago .. that this change in the way we handle money on our world, with give opportunities to create personal freedom so that one is not dependent on governments to earn or be given a very last penny. In addition cryptocurrencies will change our laws, the ways we interact with one another in terms of trade, simple buying and selling, and even change philosophies.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=34&v=UhV_yfj1558
Then, a few notes on the various crypto’s themselves. Ethereum’s founder, the young Vitalik Buterin, came up with a grand idea of creating a ‘data layer’ for Ethereum right on the Bitcoin Cash Blockchain in order for Ethereum to scale even now, while they solve the problems of sharding, with is the way that Ethereum will scale. This may just be the first of a consolidation in the industry, but it is very early days and I have seen nobody but myself saying this.
The first 10 crypto’s on coinmarketcap are basically the ones that I watch. There is just too much to focus on everything.
It is quite remarkable with these Government fighting cryptos but wanting taxes on it, as well as control.
So, this will not be complete if I don’t mess a little with my Bro – Hey Bro, did you know …
BSV transaction volume is now higher than BCH transaction volume butttttt 94% of BSV transactions are from a weather app. So, they are not trading cryptos, but weather data to make it look like they have volume.
The goodies are here: https://coinmetrics.substack.com/p/coin-metrics-state-of-the-network-4e0
And this is the meaningful chart.
https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d510bc1-6c0d-4c5b-8445-08240ce28e50_1200x742.png
OK, messing with Bro done (grins).
This next bit has to do with technology and technology development and also with 5G (and also with the ideas floating out there that the internet will become somewhat of a channel on some crypto blockchain. This won’t happen, no matter the fancy words given to these flights of fancy.
My expectation is that 5G will be a short lived technology and something else will leapfrog the way we interact with, and interchange data.
So, what could that be? My expectation is that it will have much to do with new computing, basically quantum computing, quantum entanglement and Einstein’s Spooky Action at a Distance – and the need to communicate with specifically satellites without attenuation or loss in the signal and also, it cannot be interfered with. So I’ve been watching this for a while now as China announced some years ago that they are working on this and it is important for them as they have a need to secure communication (obviously a political aim here to save themselves against the interference from alphabet agencies). This kind of technology is as secure as what we can probably think of now.
Joseph Farrell had something about this and it is happening and not any longer a flight of fancy. Note that Farrell’s technical explanation could do with some work but there is a comment by a person called Goshawks that has a better technical explanation but still very simplistic.
https://gizadeathstar.com/2019/07/china-teleports-an-electron-from-ground-to-space/
And then, read one of the original pieces here: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/66601/china-1-quantum-entanglement-teleports-object-300-miles/index.html
So, the ones with some kind of scientific background among us will get this and will get the massive impact of something like this immediately for many sectors in our lives. As I’ve said before, we personally use this type of technology already for a health application with frequency sets long time ago already developed in Russia. We also use this with DNA as a connection, i.e., a piece of DNA is put into a holder and then the frequencies are chosen and through a frequency generator applied – completely Spooky Action at a Distance. This is the kind of thing that happens. Some time ago I had a tooth problem and the dentist said the root was cracked. So, he gave me a bunch of ‘modern medicine’ to stop infection and pain, before he could work on this. I don’t use that medicine stuff. I put a piece of DNA in the DNA holder, used the correct frequencies both for this infection and pain, and when I got back to the dentist 4 days later he could do his work and there was not a bit of infection or pain left.
I fully expect 5G to be a short lived technology and something else better to leapfrog it.
@amarynth
6G tech will follow, they’ll just make everyone wear little tinfoil hats with an antenna on top, no towers needed……………chip that, lol.
On a more serious note. DNA from where, your mouth? DNA holder, found a pencil one at google, huh? Frequencies, modulated through a machine? A bit of an explanation if you please, inquiring minds and all that.
Cheers, M

Now, evidently Portland Antifa and the Proud Boys have scheduled a street showdown both claiming first amendment rights for sometime in August. Looneylandia at its worst? No, its worst will be how the Dim-Dem leadership of Portland and the State of Oregon mishandle this. I will go on Dissenter.com to find out more and to keep you all posted.
Meanwhile the deep state soldiers using its alliance with the venial elites of Latin America. And here is a news article where ugly words were expressed by people of color on people of color so there is no way to get around the issue of class by loading this story with the handy rubric of “racism”. Re: from the Miami Herald about ongoing riots in San Juan, PR
“The anger at the government began last week after six former island government officials were indicted in federal court on charges of corruption, and a profane private group chat that Rosselló held with cabinet members and aides became public. On Saturday, when all 889 pages of the Telegram group chat were published, Puerto Ricans became enraged at the governor and his close allies, who had mocked political opponents, gay people, women and ordinary citizens.”

Some Bro 93 To Infinity & Beyond G-Spot On Fourcasts:
FOURCAST # 1) The New Internet will resonate with each person’s DNA taken from mucus linings and Private Blockchains 10 billion strong will power it. Sean the Leprechaun and I await the technical manual. This Vision i-SNOT anything to sneeze at!
FOURCAST # 2) Hillary will never be locked up. That will never happen because it would validate Trump and his Deplorable Base and violate Eternal Law and Righteous Rule of the Universe # 1: Orange Man BAD: ERGO, Undermine everything he says or does, even things you previously agreed with or supported, before he did or said them! (Rule # 2: Ignore the inconvenient fact that that may be exactly what The Empire Demands of You!)
FOURCAST # 3) Wright Will Be Proven Wrong! This assured future outcome derives from Eternal Law and Righteous Rule of the Universe # 3: Aussie Man Bad! …….No matter if BSV scales to the point of achieving its goal of UNLIMITED block sizes by January 2020….the logical prerequisite for a blockchain enduring without any changes to its foundational protocol, because miners maintaining the chain are supported by adequate compensation made up of millions of tiny fees from millions of transactions per block. No matter that BTC and it’s Wall Street Lopp-sided acolytes go through protocol changes whenever the whim arises in them……..making BTC centralized under Blockstream’s control…and designed to fail…..deliberately! And, again, follow (Emotionally Manipulated) Eternal Law and Righteous Rule of the Universe # 2: Ignore the inconvenient fact that that may be exactly what The Empire Demands of You!)
FOURCAST # 4) White Supremacist Racism and Hatred of Women will forever be the Eternally Immutable characteristic of the all Trumpians including all the progressives, liberals and Democrats that Walked Away from That Mental Slavery Plantation of Looneylandia Leftism USA and agreed with The Donald………on anything! This Includes Candice Owens despite her blackness and the fact that the Christchurch shootings and Manifesto were staged by Serial Child Molster And Empire Operative John Podesta to smear her femininity and race with the Spectre of Nazism which he promoted in Ukraine and it also includes BCP (Black Conservative Patriot) who tackles the issue head-on of shamelessly unconscious and hypocritical emotionalism and ill logic, and race-baiting right here:

But my answer was wrong. Trump is unlikely to be impeached by a Senate in which the GOP holds a majority, so Pence’s ascent to the throne is not currently plausible unless the president suffers a cardiac arrest after ingesting too many cheeseburgers. The real danger is what comes after Trump, in 2024. The preferred candidate by Israel and its lobby, and therefore the prohibitive favorite, is Trump’s former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. If you think Trump is blindly and blatantly pro-Israel at the expense of American interests, just wait until you see Haley’s naked self-interest at work.

Great link by Giraldi!
Yes, it is definitely a very big BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR when it comes to contemplating high office contenders in the US.
Case in point…I remember thinking that Samantha Power was the absolute pits when it came to a lying cynical hypocrite as the US’s UN ambasador…then along came Trump’s choice Haley who proceeded to make Power look like Mother Teresa by comparison.
As grim as it is with POTUS MAGA in office and with lunatics Pompeo and Bolton as the two most senior molders of foreign affairs ‘strategy’, it simply doesn’t bear thinking about a scenario where the Trumptard was replaced by Pence. Imagine this Troika of idiotic warmongering rapturists calling all the shots on the world stage!
With Trump at the helm, there is every chance of much of the ME going up in smoke in the near future, especially with the tit for tat developments in the last few days. If the Troika outlined above ever came to pass, a massively escalating war is virtually guaranteed. Add to this mix the contemplation of Bojo taking office across the Atlantic to encourage even worse behavior and the scenario becomes flat-out terrifying.
Where on earth would the doom’s day clock sit the if this quartet ever eventuated?
Scary times indeed!

The mix just got worse…MUCH WORSE…https://thedailycoin.org/2019/07/20/new-us-pentagon-chief-vested-interest-in-war-conflict/
To quote from the above link…
“Nevertheless, Esper is a particularly brazen embodiment of the revolving-door’s seamless connection.
Raytheon is a $25 billion company whose business is all about selling missile-defense systems. Its products have been deployed in dozens of countries, including in the Middle East, as well as Japan, Romania and, as of next year, Poland. It is in Raytheon’s vital vested interest to capitalize on alleged security threats from Iran, Russia, China and North Korea in order to sell “defense” systems to nations that then perceive a “threat” and need to be “protected”.
So yes, yet another swamp creature is about to join Trump’s war council. The situation in the ME gets grimmer by the day. It is very hard to imagine that a major escalation with the Iran situation is not now completely inevitable.

So….Britain took an Iranian ship near Gibraltar
Now Iran has taken a British ship near Iran.
Link to the news: https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2019/07/19/601353/Iran-IRGC-British-oil-tanker-strait-of-Hormuz
Mod.
So all is not what it seems, the British tanker had turned off its gps responder which is against law in international waters, Iran responded by seizing the ship as it passed by its borders to inquire as to why. Their were no brits on board so the ship was toed to an Iranian military facility until the issue can be resolved.
The MSM spin never includes the illegality part, they simply run w/what to do next about their situation.
Just a not so off topic comment, Japan bombed pearl harbor after the u.s. stopped selling it crude oil(or gasoline, i cant recall which) and negotiations fell apart.(the reserves must have been diverted to the allies and their battle after 1939). This is a much worse situation, and therefore could be met w/a much worse response as far as economics are concerned.
A small tossed match could inflame a much larger conflict involving an arab and israeli showdown that would be the talk of future ages and genocide. It’s high time to stop making bombs and just let the supply run out and chips fall where they may.
FOX News in the US is a strange beast.They have Tucker Carlson (the smart one) being against war.And the Israel lover Sean Hannity lusting for war with Iran. He was in top voice tonight pounding for war and spouting so much Israeli bs its a wonder he didn’t burst a vein.It was totally disgusting.He had an ex-military guy on, that for once,was trying to tell him bombing Iran was a bad idea.He almost gagged and tried everything to prove the colonel wrong.The rest of the US MSN is no better and except for Hannity on FOX,maybe worse.The biggest problem isn’t even what they say.It’s that they totally leave out reporting on the other side of the story.They leave the US population with only the war monger side.
