To the poet in all of us…
The Poet’s Journal
One cold and wintry morning
While walking out the door,
I noticed a poet’s journal
Lying on the floor.
Emblazoned with a horse,
In finest leather bound;
I couldn’t resist a look,
And this is what I found.
A compendium of cat tales,
Replete with dialogue.
Elephants and reindeer
And a smattering of dog.
The quaintest clutch of fables
Imbued with subtle blends,
Dashed off by the poet
With dedications to his friends.
Sonnets, songs and stanzas
Filled with human wants,
Jostled with odes to girlfriends
And budding debutantes.
From the pile up of love affairs
Through refrains of sad remorse,
The poet never wavers
From plotting true love’s course.
And the parables and metaphors
Of every shape and kind,
Accounts of dreams and visions
And cures for the blind.
Secrets that shake and rend
The ground the grass grows on
However high or low the road,
The poet’s quest goes on.
There were words that had no meaning
Or meaning I understood,
There were colours I had no name for
And rued I ever would.
There were places I swore I’d been to
And days without an end,
The were nights of conversation
And laughter with the Friend…
‘Twas a warm and sultry afternoon
When I finally raised my head,
And late at night when I returned
To lay down on my bed.
What was it about the poet’s words
That so beguiled my mind?
I knew the truth of all he spoke
And saw myself in every line!
Thank you Dimitar – a delight and yes, I do see the truth in all you wrote.
Thanks for your note, sand. This came about after wanting to reply to yr reply to last Cafe’s poem, which then grew into the above poem. Remember how I’ve said not to second-guess ourselves or edit ourselves out of the writing process? IE; never say never? Here’s an example… I get a feeling and need to let the feeling resolve and express itself through me. In not being able to find the right reply, (I tried a poem, but the poem I came up with didn’t satisfy me.) I kept writing however, and finally made the turn, being when I got the idea of the journal, and someone coming across it and taking a peek inside into another world. And then it took off, onto about a 20 + hour writing adventure. But the thrill of finding something new in a poem is worth every second of effort. Best, D.
Hi Dimitar,
it sounds like one part of your brain sorts things out, ( subconsciously ? ) as you write, then inspiration arrives and sets you on the right track – and the words can then flow. Does it feel like the ideas suddenly appear – as if from nowhere ? I’m thinking of some song writers who describe how inspiration arrives and they feel their best songs almost write themselves. I may be describing that very badly.
However it was achieved, you must be thrilled with the result. I loved it.
Great things are done when men and mountains meet… said Blake.
As difficult a form as poetry is, no poem should be too hard. We’ll either find a connection and flow or we won’t. I try to go to the top of the mountain and assume the feeling at the summit, ie; of the completed poem. I then look for the “one in the many”, ie; the viewpoint that’s specific to me. There are many ways to approach the mountain and we have to find one that works. And it’s done by just going to work, basically.
Hi Dimitar do you publish your poetry?
Regards
Can we discuss this outside the Cafe, Tyson? Amarynth @ Saker’s Assistant has my email, and if you’re ok with passing yours on, she’ll send to me and I’ll email you. Otherwise it’s a bit like laying one’s life on a slab, if you know what I mean… Cheers, D.
Dimitar, About the Café anthology idea, that’s a good idea to keep things confidential, the Cafe’s on its last legs;)
write and continue rewriting
compose the song for ever.
painting and repainting the —
fiftieth time only gets it right !
carving another marble slab.
dance it over and over again,
an artists work is never done
the paint the canvas the ink
the pen the brush the mallet
the chisel the granite stone,
the soft leather dancing shoes,
the cello and the violin’s wood
the craft’s of long ages of time
of earth and spirit are moulded.

The Cafe on its last legs? Oh no!
Many people over the years thumping their fists and leaning on the Café tables, means the legs are wobbly and need replacing.
Why would the Cafe be on its last legs? Cafe’istas participate in discussion at their own choosing
During lockdowns its been one of the few ways we can continue conversing with our fellow human beings
I, for one, have learnt so much about fields that I’m not expert in, that would’ve taken me ages to find the most accurate info in any other forum or social media platform that I can think of (I’m not including Facebook for obvious reasons – it was set up by DARPA as an intel gathering operation)
Hi Dimitar, the other night I was reading the French writer Robert de Baron’s medieval tales. A paragraph struck me where he recounts words of Joseph of Arimathea, and remembered it in relation to your words above “…cure’s for the blind.” He advises not to fall prey to anger and wrath, “which may blind him., for one who cannot see clearly is unfortunate indeed.” And then he continues most wisely about how to maintain sight !
Those ancient writer’s knew a thing or two, I never tire of reading them, in translation and modern language, even then the energy and vitality of their words and retelling of adventures is a good antidote to our ‘senile’ times, for want of a better word.
Anyhow, I went to the new Cafe and found your excellent poem at the beginning, very well done, truly, it made me think of a journal of the cafe’s poem’s over the last 5 years, and whether they could be collected and published ? It would be great.
I do drop by here now and again to see wassup, ‘fraid I won’t be signing in anywhere, way too much going on, but am sure the regulars will like to jump about here, there and everywhere! Only joking, sounds like a most enterprising venture, an Alt Cafe für die Alten.
Take care, do you work with music still, and I hope your father is peaceful in his nursing home.
ER
Lovely to hear from you, Earth Rattler. Yes, blindness is endemic to all species esp. us ‘human beens’. Fortunately, there are many cures, for everything except wanting to see… There’s a saying, however; let go and let life… it will prepare and bring us to every change, which we can either go through gracefully or kicking and screaming. We usually start w. the kicking first and end up in the general direction of grace… Cheers, D.

WW: Apologies if this has been posted in an earlier cafe.
I have clicked so many links and harvested so much material, I am no longer sure where I have found items.
Regardless, not everyone will have seen this, and it’s so bizarre, it might actually be true!
Great find WW!!!
That one vid explains so much – and we really need a transcript of this to go viral
Seen in the context of the 2001 US invasion and occupation of a free and independent sovereign nation, Afghanistan, the Fundamental Vax (Fun Vax for short) even if it didn’t ‘get legs’ – the very fact that its being proposed is testimony to the psychopaths who walk amongst us
Scary stuff
Also explains why two leaders of African nations – Burundi and Kenya – who were ‘COVID deniers’ have died or disappeared
We can’t have any dissenters now , can we?
Posting it to FB came up with an immediate fake news notice…..and the reason is “it doesn’t show the use of a flu vaccine achieving the stated ends”. I somehow thought the point was the infection itself did the work, not a vax.
Sorry Burundi and Tanzania,
But also Lukashenko was a Covid – denier and the PTB had a pretty hefty crack at him, as well
President John Magufuli’s disappearance makes him potentially the 2nd “Covid denier” head of state to lose power

In2016 there were memes circulating on deaths “associated” with HRC.
“Arcancide” (a play on the frequency of suspicious suicides in Arkansas during Bills time as Governor).
Image: “suicide hotline” HRC: “I’d like to place an order”.
The long, long list of people who crossed paths with the Clintons and were suicided, had plane or single-vehicle accidents, or died in unusual and conveniently timed ways, warps all laws of nature.
I am thinking someone needs to track and report all these Covid resistor deaths.
I have been “noting” them over the past year, eg: the convenient death of PCR test inventor, who said it should never have been used the way it was employed in 2020 for Covid.
(Will find his name n post). (Kallis?)
Mod: Kary B. Mullis ?
Speaking out against the covid narrative is very deleterious to ones welfare if you are a politician, medico, social media influencer, or anyone above cattle class.
My mind wanders to the many (over 50?) suspicious deaths of naturopaths and alt health doctors a few years back.
I wonder now if *they* were cleaning the field ahead of time, so that non mainstream wisdom was lost (not entirely) and there were fewer informed and “followed” voices able to speak out and alert us, in the early days, as this Covid thingee emerged.
Thanks mod, yes = Kary Mullis.
https://off-guardian.org/2020/12/18/who-finally-admits-pcr-tests-create-false-positives/
Dr Kary Mullis, who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the PCR process, was clear that it wasn’t meant as a diagnostic tool, saying:
with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody.”
And, commenting on cycle thresholds, once said:
If you have to go more than 40 cycles to amplify a single-copy gene, there is something seriously wrong with your PCR.”
Extract:……
polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PCR works by taking nucleotides – tiny fragments of DNA or RNA – and replicating them until they become something large enough to identify.
The replication is done in cycles, with each cycle doubling the amount of genetic material.
The number of cycles it takes to produce something identifiable is known as the “cycle threshold” or “CT value”.
The higher the CT value, the less likely you are to be detecting anything significant.
And here some links to the “50 dead naturepaths”.
Unintended Holistic Doctor Death Series: Over 100 Dead

Horrible. Some says Ahriman is on the lose in North America. I believe in this now. Its really profound evilness unimaginable.
What was the amount of money the Pentagon couldn’t account for before 9/11 ? In fact can they ever make their accounts add up ? I’m sure CAF talked about multi billions missing again more recently. So this is where it goes.
This makes me wonder if the present virus and / or vaccines are designed to act like a kind of bromide plus, to turn us into compliant, unthinking, docile drones. They would if they could.
$trillions unaccounted for, Sand
But still to this day, there are projects of ‘The Company’ that it does not have to declare to Congress
We must remember that the ‘The Company’ is a supranational outfit – its not just the preserve of the USG
You: “makes me wonder if the present virus and / or vaccines are designed to act like a kind of bromide plus, to turn us into compliant, unthinking, docile drones”
Remember Tony Benn gave us the heads up all those years ago:
I watched it and it seems a little staged. Not enough detail etc. Early on it was clergy who sent out the clarion call that this event was destroying our God given humanity, our free will, with technology. See:
https://globalresearch.ca/three-cardinals-join-global-appeal
Liquor stores, porn shops and fitness clubs are open but not churches. Partly open churches have no singing, sharing of the peace or common chalice Communion. Locking healthy people up in their homes and depriving them of physical human presence crumbles something in the human psyche. Corrections people know that solitary confinement is cruel and unusual punishment. Participation in spiritual practices gives us courage to face adversity and lessens our fear. Of course the PTB wants this abolished. This Fun-Vax could be true just not yet finessed.
Listen to the 2 questions from a participant:
@0.41 Q from participant: “What you see here is by spreading this virus, we’re going to eliminate individuals from donning on a bomb vest and going into a market and blowing up the market.”
… and
@2:32 Q from participant: “So are you suggesting taking a CT-scan with me when I’m evaluating people to determine whether I put a bullet in their head?”
The megalomania – the right to randomly alter people’s brain function / life – and the power over life and death too. Who gave them these rights – G.W. Bush ? Cheney ?
As an aside, it shows what a charlatan Obama is – he piped up that GWB was a staunch upholder of law – or words to that effect.
Youre quite right Sandy!
Obomber accepted the Nobel Peace Prize then bombed SEVEN Arab / Muslim nations in eight years
– none of which were at war with the United States, and
– without Congressional approval
But didn’t he speak well! /sarc off
He also had his “Tuesday kill lists”. He was presented with those it was assumed or alleged were involved in terrorist activities – in other, Arab nations – and signed off for them to be killed used Predator missiles, drones, satellite guided by young men sitting in basement rooms in America.
He was “funny” making a speech – which drew much laughter – when he said, of any young men who might exhibit interest in his daughters “I have 2 words to say to you – Predator Drone”. Laugh!!
Trump, with all his faults put a stop to that. Seems if you are Nobel Peace Prize recipient killing people from a distance is OK, but if you stop it, you’re vilified and driven from office.
Wonder if the Bidet will start that again – oh no, wait. They’re not going to force democracy on anyone, are they? How nice.
UK Media refuse to report deaths and severe injuries within 28 days of a vaccine, yet if a 100 yr old falls and dies and tests positive, it is definately a Coronavirus death and we must submit to lockdowns and accept tyranical restrictions. UK is using a vaccine which is known for months causes severe side effects even in healthy people and is linked to blood cloth deaths, yet they keep using it. They dont care about they own people, so what do they care about helping their so called allies like The Ukraine and Saudi Arabia?
I found this lovely little gem this morning, and thought I’d share it.
“THE PEACE OF WILD THINGS
by Wendell Berry
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Love it, it brought a tear to my eye – the peace of wild things – yes.
Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
I have somewhere I can also share this.
Thanks
very touching, I read things of W Berry before. Will look for it
I had never heard of him before bernie – but I’m certainly going looking.
Mean while, from Kazakhstan via Dmitry Babich
the visuals and music make something clutch at my chest, and breathing becomes a little difficult – and a couple of small tears form just because of the beauty – again “the peace of wild things”

Thank you Pamela. Reading Wendell Berry inspired me to take myself to a nearby wildlife refuge for some time. Mallards, still water and day-blind stars are so restorative.

News from the alt side.
1. We have a very detailed and lovely writing by Peter Koenig again. This will go out to other sites, but we’re first :-)
It is here and he mentions in some detail the work of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche which we have posted here before. In chatting with the Swiss friends, and some Latin Spanish folks, they did not want to watch this video at first. And I told them to hold their noses for the first part where Vanden Bossche details his credentials and get to what he says. And so Peter did and wrote it up.
https://saker.community/2021/03/13/covid-bioethics-eugenics-and-death-panels-a-warning/
So, because we are first, go and make a comment and give him some love as he is giving us a lot of love.
2. I have now set up Russia, the Motherland forum, which Pamela will lead. Just give her a moment to get with the new tools. https://saker.community/forum/
3. I’m fixing to post the first of my work (really not only mine) on alternative medicine, how to treat, how to deal with the idea of ‘terrain’ and basically how to minimize the reliance on Big Med and Big Pharma. A day or two and that will start. There is a small tech problem as I cannot for the life of me post pics but I’ve given that to the tech.
So, the work continues and we have to find some peace and goodwill. So, that space is to do right that. There is a ZoneB!.
Great news Amarynth, especially re Russia Motherland cafe.
I used to give RT.com the benefit of the doubt but now it’s just pathetic eyeroll material.
I miss the old Russia Insider too – for the same reason. It was the only place to read of Russia, and Russian writers. The archives still have stuff, but it’s been inactive for the last couple of months now.
I miss that. Also, Vesti closed down it’s English subtitles, for some unknown reason, so “Evening” Solovyev, 60 minutes, and others are also gone.
It’s getting harder to get stuff out of Russia, so – maybe we can try this way :-)
https://healthimpactnews.com/2021/508-dead-297274-reported-injuries-following-covid19-experimental-vaccines-reported-in-the-u-k/
Just to let you know amarynth – I just posted a comment to Peter’s article, it’s awaiting moderation.
Is my mod free status for the Russia threat only?
I forwarded Koenig’s post to a diverse group of 40 and am starting to get feedback; mostly positive but expect some sheep to pooh pooh the non MSM narrative.
wolfhound Steve (no “jab” for me unless it’s Sputnik or the China jab)
That’s so nice Steve, and thanks. I will let him know.
Is it possible to put something on the Saker community page I had put my name-bernie- and a password, but got as reply that my name was not valid. There is a subject on nature gardening etc where i could put up something if that is possible but how? For instance this text but it is too long for the cafe so it would find a good place on the community blog.The Song of Maize
It was the month of July, many years ago. I was invited for 4 weeks to Third Mesa, in the country of the Hopi. It had not rained for 3 weeks and the earth was suffocating in the grasp of torrid heat. It was the middle of the day and my host was dozing peacefully in the coolness of his stone house. I could not keep still. I shut the mosquito door quietly behind me and strode into the heat of the Kisnovi, the village square. I cast my eyes around to see if there was any movement but all was still as at midnight. Only a dog stirred trying not to miss the small amount of midday shade. The rest of the village seemed to obey the deep ritual That Tava, the Sunfather imposed on them daily. Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sum, I murmured dreamily. I did not really know were I was going as i went down to the edge of the mesa on a path which long ago must have been but a scratch in the soft rock in cooler days. As I reached the bottom of the cliff, I saw a lizard which slithered speedily along a dusty path.So I followed it as if this creature was guiding me. After about a quarter of an hour; walk the path suddenly forked towards the North around a heap of fallen earth. Before I could see the other side of the rocks I could hear just faintly a voice singing. I slowed down and risked a glance. In front of me was a strech of Maize, the biggest one I had yet seen in this region. It was so huge that it seemed to be not possible that it was Hopi. I still saw no one but the singing became clearer. I guessed it was the voice of an old man, sweet and strong. But were could he be? I waited for another few minutes listening to this field of corn that sang. The suddenly from the green tufts of the corn emerged a white head. I became conscious of what my eyes were seeing. This field of maize in the middle of the summer was magnificent and luxurious. There were nearly a dozen ears ripening on each plant and with a quick evaluation there were1200 plants of maize. The ground was dry and parched following a long drought and nevertheless showed few signs of fading, unlike most of the other fields i had observed around the village. The complaints which I had heard from the farmers living near the house at which I was staying made me think that all the maize was dying of thirst. This field however seemed just to have been blessed with rain. I slowly walked up the path which lead to the village without having been seen by the old man. My host who awakened asked me were I had been. When I told him what I had seen and heard, the interest he showed for my wandering changed into an amused smile. I see that you have found the field of Titus he said with a stifled laugh. But why is this field so lush? Does it have a secret source of water? Grandfather laughed. Surely not, he posses Navoti. What is that? I asked thinking that perhaps there was a secret fertilizer available only to certain tribes. He possesses the Hopi way explained Grandfather after a thoughtful pose. He knows the old songs which refresh his young maize. He recites his prayers correctly during the sowing and more important then anything he knows that one must not worry because worry harms the plants as much as drought. Rather then anguish which makes his maize children nervous, he goes to them in the heat of the day and he sings the old songs to them which are for his children a source of courage.
But grandfather other men surely notice that his maize is different. Why don’t they learn his songs and why don’t they sing to their maize? But my old Hopi master sighed. That would be no good Navoti no longer lives in the sowings of others.
At the end of this important month which I spent on the mesa, I left by car for the North, along the valley of the Rio Grande to return to Taos were I lived. During my journey across the 19 Pueblos, I felt as something calling me. I noticed perhaps for the first time how little this ancient customs were followed- even for the Lucerne.
! I felt as if the seeds were calling me. I became conscious that the source of strength was trapped in the sloping roofs, in the earthen pots, in the boxes of coffee, and into the buckets put in dark corners. It was also in the old plaited maize rugs. The seeds which were calling me were the old seeds gathered before the advent of the supermarkets, before the coming of the small packets of aluminium which are found on the selves of shops at the beginning of each spring.
These were the seeds of which Grandfather had spoken. Those who still possessed the Navoti of ages past. After about 50 years their vitality was still intact. The dry climate of the high plateau had helped to keep intact an ancient power which lived in the time when men sang to their plants. It was to me now that those seeds send their songs in the hope of being heard before sinking into oblivion forever.
This story by John Kimney. Ethnobotanist who was the guest of David Monongye religious chief and ancient of the Hopi Tribe, was published in 1986 in: Seed Savers Exchange, the first ten years; edited by Kent Whealy
Bernie, if you don’t mind, I’ll come back to you on e-mail. It is easier that way.
Ok Amarynth patiently awaiting your message
And you should have it, dear bernie.
Dimiter: I felt the breath of soul inspiration brush my face when I opened this Cafe to your poem. It is time to reset and anchor ourselves for battle, oh gentle spirit. Some of us carry brush and easel–others hammer and nail.
That said, back to the battlefield of life in the belly of the techno fascist beast. See below that which is going mega viral:
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/65-year-old-texas-woman-tackled-arrested-not-wearing-mask-day-after-abbot-lifted-mandate
I am feeling a shift as transiting mercury ( conscious aware mind) swoops over the natal American moon( the people) at 27 degrees of Aquarius. This ( above) was an older women who most likely did her own bit of staging but what will be important is the degree of true female rage you will see when our techno-masters try to mess with the children. It is clear that the Teacher’s Union has only its paid membership’s interests at heart and is not accountable in any way to the community it serves. Mercury also represents the child by the way.
What is appalling to most women is the “children at the border” story. Where are their parents? and the NGO’s who weep bitter tears for poor children in their own countries? If they had parents, would these proud Latinos let their children be told perverted lies about gender, sexuality and spirituality? Oh, I see a big fight coming. Hands off the Kids!!!
Masks Off the Kids!! People may not be courageous for themselves, but they will fight for their offspring.
The US moon is important as the sign of Cancer which is ruled by the Moon contains the natal US sun, Jupiter, Venus and mercury so with transiting Jupiter as well as Saturn in the sign of Aquarius, I expect the American people to move in some creative ways soon.
Perhaps that is why the techno-fascists are pushing things so quickly in the Ukraine and Syria as well as on the home front—it is a two front war, you realize. And they have all sorts of high-paid Mengele types advising them. ” Yep, it’s a Cancer nation.” they probably said…”.well, emotionality works, add low level frequencies tuned to the limbic system ( plus toxic chlorine in the water in order to calcify the pineal/pituitary) and we will make the people depressed enough so that the innate cancerian moodiness will cancel out the cardinal impulse of cancer to get things done and to nurture.”
These are Nasty folks who sell out the truth to equally foul folks but the World dance is played out in many dimensions not yet completely heard from.
Hope youre right about “feeling a shift” T13

This is Fascism! We fought the Second War to defeat fascism – which makes a mockery of all those men and women killed on the battle field – when now we’re getting it back on our own shores!
George Orwell:
“We fought the Second War to defeat fascism – which makes a mockery of all those men and women killed on the battle field –”
Yes Tyson. It’s something I’ve said. I grew up in the shadow of it – a Father with what would now be diagnosed as PTSD. People think that once the “All Clear” is called, thats it. You just go back to “Times before”
Well, no. You dont. He lived with PTSD all his life, and my brother and I grew up under the sudden rages. The occasional silence and distance expression on my Mothers’ face, and one day her telling me she was remembering a Canadian Pilot boyfriend and, going to meet him at a dance was taken aside by others of his squadron and gently told, he “didn’t come back”.
It’s been the most horrible betrayal of all that. Of all those who died, and many who suffered in so many ways. It’s why I say, the only winner was Russia, because she wanted them out, and her land back,, and thats what she got.
But us? We fell for the narrative. Now we’re discovering that actually, it was as big a lie as Father Christmas and Tooth Fairy wrapped up in one.
Sorry to hear about your father’s PTSD Pamela – that must have been terribly difficult to be around while you were growing up – and for your mother as well
Regards
Its a non-case sorry. The woman made trouble inside the bank and was screaming about her “rights”.
You have NO rights on other peoples property, and the people legally responsible for their property and business and the police facing someone who refuse to follow their friendly made orders to leave, have every right to force and fine her. Period.

Millions Harmed by the Mother of All Con Games – Stephen Lendman

Pamela, if later you ever get time, I would be interested if you could provide some links for your assertion that Gaels are not Celts. As far as I can see the scholarly consensus is that Gaels are a line of Celts. Now is a very busy time with Spring upon us for me also.
Best wishes
Basically Anomalous, I cannot provide a “link”, no, as this presupposes there is any relevant information on the internet which Google would proved.
The only such link I do have of any use is, sad to say on my other computer which has been away having mysterious surgery. That was to a paper from a couple of years back reporting of a wide spread DNA patterning and grouping across the entire Big Island, of Britain – i.e. Ireland not included”.
This showed that all of the Island with one exception has the exact same DNA now, which is 80% Franco-Germanic. i.e. Norman-Saxon. The only exception, which was marked, was of Gwynedd and Powys, the mid and North of Cymru {Wales, Celts] and the northern region of Ceredigion, the South of Wales.
However, the primary analysis is by studying the languages and seeing the differences. There are few words which show a common history, and this is no more than we always find between peoples who exchange cultural links, such as France incorporating the English “le Weekend” and “Le Ros Bif”.
The Russian word for a Rental is “arenda”, the Spanish is “arrienda” which is more accurately “lease” but is used these days also as “rent”.
But I dont think that indicates that Russian is somehow derived from Spanish, nor that they have any sort of common history. Examples are :English; book. Gaelic leabhar, Celtic; llyfr. Father; Gaelic, athair, Welsh Tad.
English;Love. Gaelic; ghaoil, / dilseacht, Welsh, cariad. And so on.
The other is study the physiology; The Angles were basically Germanic – and the term was invoked to distinguish them from the Germanic speaking peoples who still lived on the Continent – and they were of Danish, Netherlands and northern Saxony stock. These did manage to invade the Gaels of Scotland and Ireland, and intermarry. IN fact, in Gwynedd they frequently mounted raids, using their long boats in order to steal any stock, belongings and even if they could, people to take off back to Ireland. IN the 1200’s still, to the Cymraeg {Welsh}, Dublin was known as the City of the Danes. The are frequently fairly tall, fair, with pale blue or green eyes, fair to red hair, and freckles. They were described as fearsome warriors, much given to fighting.
The Welsh, the Celts, on the other hand, have never intermingled with the Saxons, using the mountains of Wales to hold them at bay. Only in the lowlands in the far south have the Saxons made entry. The Celts are mostly a short people, [my mother was very proud of having made it to 5ft and half an inch. You were never allowed to forget the half inch :-). All my family were short, but the men did achieve height as we carry the gene for hyperinsulinaemia. We are dark, with rose and cream, not blond skin, dark eyes, even the blue ones, and dark hair, from chestnut to black. I was born with black curly hair, eyebrows and dark blue eyes. This is a very Celtic physiognomy.
The second is the social structure. Only the Gaels adopted the bagpipes, and the family Clans, with tartans and Clan warfare. They have maintained warfare as a solution, up until the Stewards gained the Throne of England – which, the English Norman descended overlords, as soon as they could, displaced them with another German!!!
The Celts of ‘Cymru never adapted to the sea, and didn’t not have any sea going skills as the Gaels of Scotland did. The Scots to this day are an incredibly innovative race. Look at the many inventions to their name. The Celts are not. They [we] are a farming people and very peaceable people. NO-one would ever describe us as warlike and wanting to fight. We are described, as a peaceable, and “shy and stubborn”. We have never indulged in the wars with the Saxons which the Gaels of Scotland and Ireland have. We just manage things in a different way.
Finally, the best source of information I have found comes from a treatise called “The Four Books of Ancient Wales” by William Skene. This carries a wealth of information from the ancient Welsh books of records, The Red book of Hergest, and the Black book of Caermarthon. There is much that is detailed and “picky” about whether Gildas the recorder got this and that date correct, or what co-relates with other information. Also, the good Mr. Skene saw fit to include long chunks in Latin with no translation, leaving the student to do a fair bit of work.
However, one important point is early made. That is that in 441 and again 446, with the Picts and Scots invading from the north – the Scots were the Danes and Gaels of Ireland who made sporadic attempts to establish permanent settlements in the climate inhospitable north of Scotland – and the Saxons invading the East coast and south from Across the North Sea, and united with the Picts, the Celts were driven back into the Mountains of Cymru and the Atlantic peninsula of modern day Devon and Cornwall.
It is recorded in the Black book of Caermarthon, that “The first event which emerges from this time is that of the appearance of Cunedda, his retreat form the North and his expulsion of Gaels from Wales by his descendants. We are told that, in the Historia Brytonium, that the Scots, who occupied Dyfed, and Cedgueli, “expulsi sunt a Cuneda et a filiis ejus” {“there are a Cuneda and her sons i.e. who expelled the Gaels”}.
We know from other documents that the real agent in the expulsions of the Gaels of Scotland from Gwynedd was Caswallawn Law Hir, the father of Mailcun, which places it at about 547″
There is much more but it’s not relevant to this point. That 1500 yrs ago the Celts, who had lived, worshipped – Druids who worshipped the sun and the Life Force – and had lived peaceably in the Island up the Wall across Tyneside, were frequently fighting off people they named as Gaels, who carried a great deal of Scandinavian blood from the Danes and modern day Dutch, frequently invaded using a mysterious now extinct wild people they called Picts, from the north. The Angles offered to help them and that help turned out in typical Anglo fashion, to be trick, for they actually invaded from the South and East, the Celts, who had always been recognised as s single people, were driven into Wales, where we still are.
Finally, the Flags of Scotland and Ireland are modern and made up. Scotland uses the St. Andrews cross, which is also honoured in Russia.
WE have had our dragon since time out of mind. So long we have no idea where it came from. However I found a ‘dig’ in Khakassia, south Russia, where a grave goods belt buckle carried the exact same dragon in the same stance.!!!
I think it is fair to conclude that the Gaels and Celts are different people, as the Welsh have always held from their earliest history. It’s the English who try to mix the two, and it’s another typical ploy of the Saxon to bleach a people out of existence.
It’s why I know exactly what they are doing by trying to get Russia renamed “Eurasia”> They did it before you see. :-)
Thanks for your reply Pamela. I would not get into any heated argument over this but when one tells an Irishman he is not Celtic a certain amount of amusement is to be expected, especially with Saint Patrick’s Day coming up. As far as I know all the Celts came from the region of the Steppes and migrated west so the dragon found in that area is no surprise.
Here is a segment of a recent genetic study of these islands:-
‘In addition to the population structure found within Ireland, we have demonstrated that Ireland has a distinct ancestry profile in our regression-based admixture analysis. We identify a high level of France-like ancestry being driven by a single French cluster with high North-Western French membership. The North-West of France has previously been shown to have genetic links with Celtic populations in Britain23. Therefore the large signal we observe within Ireland could reflect Ireland as a ‘sink’ of Celtic ancestry, considering its isolation compared to other British Celtic groups.’

Here is how the academics classify the Celtic languages including Welsh and Gaelic from Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_languages
So at least as far as academia is concerned we do appear to be fellow Celts even if we cannot pronounce Welsh place names
All the best
” high level of France-like ancestry being driven by a single French cluster with high North-Western French membership. ”
Exactly. This is the same as all of the England and Scots. These days, they have about a 45% Franco and 35% Germanic DNA. However, there is no “Celtic” left that has been analysed in France. Or anywhere else for that matter.
If there’s one group of people I have no regard for at all, its the modern Western “Academic” All they do is repeat what has been said before them, with little to no actual substantiation.
They can blabber all they want – they have never given substantive evidence.
I repeat – go back and read the records from 1500 years, and how the Celtic people of Cymru regarded the Gaels, and how they dealt with them.
Thats the sort of historical evidence I take, Not the ramblings of the modern “Academic”
I am a Celt. I am as far back as we know, of Gwynned. I know the people, their mentality, their view of the world. And I’ve worked with many Irish, with their florid red skins, and red hair and freckles, and Scots.
As a people the characters are miles apart, and if you have one ounce of observation, it hits you between the eyes.
The Scots to a large extent are abrasive in character. I’ve known fvery few shy, introverted, souls. The Irish are combative in the extreme.
Just look at the history – the “Troubles” of the 1920’s the violence, with killings, burning down of homes. Even lately, there was the case of mother of 7, who knew the Sinn Fein were out for her purely for her public speakings against them. They came and got her one night, and shot her. The Scots Covanenters who shot and killed a Bishop in front of his daughter, for refusing to join them.
These acts were repeated over and over.
Now go and find me the same thing down the years in Cymru. There are none – they horrify us.
As they say “By their acts shall ye know them”.
One thing that the whole covid thing has done, has shown me the extent to which the vast majority of humans are, not a religious creature, as we were told, but a narrative creature. From childhood, we tell children stories. As they grow and learn that there is NO Father Christmas, etc etc, we tell new stories. And people end up believing the story they like. The one they find helps them form an identity.
And you never, ever, ask for evidence for the narrative you’ve decided to accept. Modern academics have accepted the narrative that cultural man is only about 8000 yrs old. Look at the destruction they bring to those who present evidence that this is wrong – he much much older. It’s the same with ALL the chosen narratives. The one thing they do to anyone who shows that this, like F.Christmas, is wrong, is attack, verbally and socially.
The Irish can laugh at being told they are not Celtic just as the Pooh-Bear brained are laughing at being told there is no proven deadly Virus called Covid, and no vaccine to prevent it – they have chosen their narrative.
But it isn’t true. Which they are unable to accept.
I have presented a summary of the evidence and historical data to support my thesis;
Let those who would argue it present theirs.
Without that, I stand and wont argue any more.
Ok. I give up. Let’s go further back in time where we can find a common origin. This Agañña Sutta is how human beings devolved according to the Buddha.

There’s a large pocket of celtic people in the northwest of Spain, too. They have red hair, blue and green eyes, and are pale. Their women are culturally different from the rest of Spain. The music is bagpipes, and they traditionally lived in whitewashed stone cottages. The province is Galicia, and unlike the rest of Spain, it is rainy, and lush green.
They are NOT “Celtic” Even Julius Cesar described us, as “a wondering people from the East who call themselves Celt” and our physiognomy has NEVER been “red haired with green eyes”
These are ALL the nation of Saxons’ Danish Gaels, of Ireland and Scotland who also share that physiognomy.
Celts are dark, and short. Period.
Just because they have accepted the narrative doesn’t make it true. You need objective evidence and observation. They provide none.
Well, Pamela you may have some fighting to do with Northern Spainish Galicians who are dark, short and whose skin burns quickly in tropical sunlight and who think they are Celtic ( my friends).
So rather than get into a fray like the Serb-Macedonia-Greek thing, I plan to ignore this whole
dust-up and let genetic testing perhaps decide ? ah yes, that, too a canard, you say. …well, then I’ll just skip on out of town on this one.
So tired of the race thing.
In many ways, I agree with you Teranam, – and I wont be responding to this anymore.
It comes down, I think at least with me, to two things.
One, it’s a sense of National Identity which formed the basis for my self Identity – the culture of non-violence, of love of the land, the Valleys, the music. We call our place “the Land of Song” – and that forms a part of who we are. When someone with a totally different physiognomy and history of violence of says “well, we are you and you are us” something inside gets up and rebels.
And that brings us to point no.2. Truth and accuracy to what is real. When I see that being desecrated, I feel a need to get up and argue it into correction, no matter the subject. Its’ no different to reading that Russians are all drunken, fighting Mongols, and want to invade the West. I just have to say “No, No, you are wrong’.
But I agree – I’m done on this subject.
It does not matter(anymore) were we came from. It matters were we want to go ( if we will still be able to go somewhere- i am sure we will-). To the luminous future which we will build from scrap as brothers and sisters (ehm this may not be politically correct but I don’t care ) in joyful cooperation
The thing is, bernie, if you dont know where you came from – you dont know where you’re standing now, and thus don’t know where you want or need to go nor how to get there.
It’s tied up with a sense of Identity. Go study how Russians foster this, and never, ever, forget anything. It may seem trivial, but it matters, it really does.
It was only from learning the history of my people I began to understand myself much better.
Imbroglio.
Question: How do you make a Celtic cross?
Answer: Tell him he is not Celt
Sorry, couldn’t help that one.
Maybe it’s of interest to you and all, that one theory is, that Galicia was settled by the Allemani tribes. Around 430 AD, when the Huns pushed the Germanic tribes to the West, several tribes settled in Spain. The NW was settled by the Swabian tribe of the South of Germany, the South of Spain was settled by the Vandals and the Middle of Spain by the Alanen tribes. One of the observations made is, that the old farm houses of Galicia had their dung pits for the manure of their cows…in front …of their house. The only other people with this farm design is found in Southern Germany ( Swabia) in the world. This is an oddity even Mark Twain had observed in his book “A Tramp Abroad.” …….I know nothing of bagpipes there.
Another thing I like to mention is the old Allemanen farm house design. People, their living space, animals, barn, hayloft, wagons were all kept under one roof……the ultimate environmental design.

Sites have just a few hundred followers. Few views.
But interesting posts. Not sure the info source behind it.
Seemingly real time, high quality supplied video.
WW: view, but verify.
Topics:
1/ Tensions are rising between Ukraine / Russia in Donbass
What are the new weapons /Technology we will see “if” a war starts.
The 2 new weapons of both sides (Not used in previous encounters)
UA: BAYRAKTAR TB2 (Turk)
RF: Krasukha
The Bayraktar TB2 is a surveillance and reconnaissance drone that can be armed with weapons such as anti-tank missiles, precision-guided missiles, and laser-guided rockets.
It can fly up to 220 km per hour and stay in the air for up to 27 hrs.
Ukraine ordered 50 TB2.
Krasukha-4: One Russian system capable of UAV interference is the Krasukha-4. It is designed primarily to counter the radars of attack UAV, and has reportedly been deployed to #donbass. #Ukraine #Russia
The truck-mounted radio emitter is capable of jamming not only radar signals, but also control channels for drones, making planes “blind and deaf.”
It has a range of up to 300 km (185 miles).
2/ Armenia, a brand new kamikaze drone has been manufactured for its armed forces.
“This looks like reverse engineering at its finest as it’s a copy paste of the Israeli IAI HAROP loitering munition.”
WW: LOL. Wot? So Israel has supplied tech n support to Armenia, is what I read.
“The Minister of High-tech Industry of Armenia Hakob Arshakyan on his page on the social network twitter published a video of a test flight of a new Armenian loitering ammunition, which looks similar to the IAI Harop UAV produced by Israel Aerospace Industries.
Also, Arshakyan revealed some characteristics of the new Armenian kamikaze drone:
flight range – 500 km,
wingspan – 2.88 m,
service ceiling – 4000 meters,
payload – 10-12 kg.,
Weight -35 kg.
It is reported that the first demonstration of the new UAV will take place at the third international exhibition of weapons and defense technologies “ArmHiTec-2021”, which will be held from March 25 to March 27, 2021 in Yerevan.

Hold onto your seahorses… ensuing is a crash course in different types of toadfish…
Toadfish
Toadfishes burp
at breakfast and brunch,
Continue all morning
and on through lunch.
Toadfishes belch
and toadfishes fart,
Till they finally explode
and make a fresh start.
There’s the banded
and the black spot,
They keep
their lips closed.
They’re polite and
they’re gracious
and no-
body knows.
There’s the prickly
and the red stripe,
Who, despite
a problem or two –
Basically control
their own
private
brew.
Now, the consensus regarding
the pale and the smooth,
Is that if they stick
to their own private booth,
All’s usually well
and no one complains –
We all understand
about growing pains.
But the frilled and the dark,
don’t know the word ‘ease’,
You just want to grab
their gullets and squeeze!
Pray to the God
of Fishes and Frogs,
You don’t get caught in their gurk,
Or lost in their fog.
Toadfishes burp
at breakfast and brunch,
Right on through the morning
and all through lunch.
There’s just no escaping
their belches and farts –
To you it’s an annoyance
But to them it’s an art!
Can’t believe I just did what I did… I was reading it as ‘toadfish’ and writing it as ‘toadfishes’… it should be toadfish and quite easy to replace, apologies.
>There’s just no escaping
their belches and farts –
To you it’s an annoyance
But to them it’s an art!
Lol Dimitar. From your poem to eternity, there’s a relative I shall now name (privately) “toadfish”,
Because
“For him, it’s an art”
Lol… sounds like a ‘frilled’ or ‘dark’ toadfish, you’ve got there, White Whale… we’ve all got ’em, there must be at least one in every family…
And then there is “The Louse from Laos”…..a Dimitar classic.
Every time I read your verse Dimitar, I’m astounded anew at your talent.
Now you wrote great poetry – and make us laugh.
Thank you yet again.
Agreed Dimitar- applause and bows. You turn words to medicine.

As it’s Sunday, and a relative lull in world tragedy, talking of frogs and toads, of which I don’t know the difference accept that I love them in their natural habitat, and do like their arty farty croakings and belchings also, another tale of uncertain amphibian origin…
Sometime ago when I went into the bathroom, lo and behold on the pristine white floor a toad… or green, mottled-grey frog, that looked up at me with round eyes full of uncertain vulnerability, while I gazed back in astonishment, before finally d-d-d-deciding one of us would have to make the first move… (I was nervous.)
Addressing the frog-toad-fish softly in my most conciliatory voice, I approached slowly, but it became more unsure, its slippery legs gripped the floor before it leapt away beneath a cupboard. After that, it was rescued by an intrepid young man I hailed who first put a soft towel over it, and with careful hands carried it back to the garden. But how on earth it got there was a mystery.
f-f-f-forgot my h-handle, ssorry…this place terrifies me now – that was me, earth rattler and the frog,
Earth Rattler here is another tale containing a frog. I wonder what might have been your conversation with the frog in your bathroom, had you swallowed your fear?
If your goal is to be safe, you’re dead

Why I’ve always believed in the power of Fairytales 🥳
You remind me of when, back in the mid 1990’s I went first to Townsville in Far North Queensland. My first foray into the tropics. Tired and sweaty from a long 3- days drive I showered, and wondered into the kitchen of my new home, and looking out at the window saw a huge green Tree Frog, carefully gazing at me. As I looked he slid slowly down the window and out of sight. When I went outside, he was gone :-).
I loved growing roses there – but my work hours were so long, I thought the neighbours got more from them than I did. Then, leaving for work one morning, I took out 20 secs and bent over to smell the lovely scent of the Sœur Dominique rose, a pale pale pink just opening, And saw, there, deep in her heart nestled in that lovely scented bower, a tiny tiny baby Tree frog, gazing up at me.
What a way to start the day .
Sweet dreams you both, in bed with your cold, ugly toads, so lovely in nature as all things in their rightful place . ER
That wasn’t very kind, but it was an honest reaction to something, that’s all, good Babushka and Pamela.

Thank you, Pamela, et al. These are little flights of fancy that somehow miraculously make it over the line. They almost fall into my lap, although the above poem still took a number of hours to complete. What seems to happen is that after an effort like “The Poet’s Journal”, my wheels are somewhat greased, and some way-out idea, phrase or image catches my attention and I go from there. I then slowly realise there’s a level that’s very applicable to the human species. So.. as long as they come to me, I’ll continue to share. Right little menagerie at this point, lol. PS…btw, that’s “My Elephant From Laos”, tera, and there’s a few other standouts, I can probably repost from time to time, because a good laugh is something we can never get enough of. Best to you all, and cheers, D.
A lovely thread, full of well meaning and wisdom, but the responses arrive from well trodden tracks, tho’ poems and comments have vitality and originality, the end of humanity looks on, is it a club here. a sect, or why are there so few, or no new posters ?
Nobody needs to take this personally, it is best to remain quiet inside and think about what reasons may have led to this, it may hurt, but then no pain no gain.
There was one moment in the history of humanity that will stand out forever with dramatic force, and I would like to mention that here, but will wait and see first if anyone has any ideas about my question above, what this might presage in an age of internet communication, when millions are desperate to share, to feel loved and met.

Thanks for posting that T13,
I found that difficult to watch – had no idea that JP had been so ill
Given the context in some Western countries the plague of Pentecostalism – who believe if youre sick / poor, its the will of God and society shouldn’t help – an interpretation discredited by the time of St John of the Cross (1542-91) the standout line for me was the discussion of priorities:
JP:
“precisely proportional” [my emphasis]
ummm. So is that why Christ said that the poor would always be with us? And what is the proportion? 10 to one.? Not to quibble or be flippant because what these two men are touching on goes much deeper, but one really does not have to embody Christ to just do the little kindnesses of life that keep the world heart beating. All those little acts of the millions of people and maybe just a few embody Christ’s love to any great measure, keep creation going– the sum effect is more than the parts. This happens daily the mystics say…over and over again.
In my opinion, JP is way, way too hard on himself . It was heart-wrenching to watch.
I remember Dostoyevsky writing about how during a stop on his way to exile in Siberia a peasant woman stopped by their sorry motley crew, burst into tears and gave a few coins from a raggedy purse saying, ” Ah, poor devils..all of you.” ( I think that was the translation..) . This act buoyed their spirits for miles.
“one really does not have to embody Christ to just do the little kindnesses of life that keep the world heart beating”
No one said it did
I wrote about the JP quote in the context of the scourge of Pentecostalism, aka the ‘happy clappers’ – as they argue that helping the poor / sick is against God’s will – the exact antithesis that most people would understand as part and parcel of Christian compassion
In case you don’t know, its the Pentecostalists who pray for Armageddon & the Second Coming so *they can feel vindicated when it happens. This is a form of spiritual pride , aka the error thinking of self-righteousness, their attitude being: ‘I’m going to Heaven, but you’re not’
What they don’t seem to understand is at Armageddon we all perish
I can’t remember how many years ago I heard that 40% of Americans believe they’ll see Armageddon in their lifetimes. Given the power of thought (thoughts are energy) one can see it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy if a sufficient no. of people (i.e. a critical mass) believe in that. IOW, think of Pentecostalism as a death cult!
(and btw, no, one doesnt have to be Christian to have compassion)

As usual, number one lackey , the UK is on board and has launched a war crimes probe against President Assad’s wife. They have no shame.
Mrs. Assad, who has recently had surgery for breast cancer, is obviously the number one most dangerous war criminal in the world – and the UK simply must act without delay – thank you Boris !
The measure of success and moral value in any such endeavour is the strength of your opponent.
That they choose a woman – in a country where she will have much less influence than men – who has suffered a cancer and it’s awful chemical treatment, and who has always presented as a staunch patriot and supportive wife, and against whom not one shred of evidence has been presented – is the measure of the low life scum they are.
I guess its because they are psychopaths. No ability to feel emotions, empathy, heart, love, creativity, courage for others.

“The evil beings of a higher nature working against us may seem too overwhelming to tackle, but when we remember all of the other spiritual beings who are supporting and fighting along with us, we can muster the courage to pick up the banner of Christ and surge forward in the efforts to vanquish the enemy and gain our spiritual home and inheritance”.
The fight is within ourselves. We must insist on ourselves and we must will the right side of the battle.
“Where there is a risk, there should be a choice” – I agree!
Why? because we are NOT slaves!

The Season of the Woke
In this season of the woke
we need a charter to invoke
for transgender, LGBTQ
a Farter’s Charter just for you –
for black and brown and mixed race too.
Farting within your community
must always proceed with total impunity
but if you’re white and hetero too
the Farter’s Charter’s not for you.
White farting is just not suitable –
you may well find it’s prosecutable.
Farting with intent
or reckless endangerment –
whatever the crime
you could well do time
it’s a micro aggression
and you must learn this lesson.
Think this Charter has no basis ?
What are you a sexist and / or a racist ?
Aggressive white farting towards minorities
must be a law enforcement priority.
A hate crime or a fart based assault
whatever it is – it is your fault.
Take preventive measures with care –
a pad, a plug, soundproofed underwear.
You have been warned, keep fart-free peace
or you will fall foul of the fart police.
You’re very humble, sand. Your verse demonstrates an imposing grasp on the underlying rhythms that you’re presenting your words and images over. It’s natural and there’s nothing forced about it. Very impressive and wonderful to hear this side of your voice!
Thanks Dimitar, I’m delighted you liked it – it came out of your poem about farting frogs :-)
As to the rhythms, I can’t claim any clever process – I think it’s just an instinctive kind of musical sense, so I know if I need to add or lose a word – I didn’t actually think about it. The first line is annoying me now because it should be ” in this the season of the woke ” and the missing ‘ the ‘ is annoying me !
Clutching my sides.
Truly poetic
Prophetic
Provoking laughter kinetic.
Absolutely perfect! Thank you, Sand.
Please look at my link below on the woke outrage in the pentagon and on the link in non msm news column, similar subject. I opined that it is time to turn out the lights.
I have thought at times with tongue in cheek to propose to amarynth to construct a sub-blog site listing the absurdities of the day but just satire and it would far too difficult to keep an account of the unlimited absurdities of the day.
Again, thanks!
Hi White Whale and Taras,
I’m thrilled you liked the poem. I had to make it very ridiculous – to make it even more absurd than the ‘ woke ‘ movement themselves.
I recently watched an interview with Andrew Doyle who invented Titania McGrath – a ‘ radical feminist and intersectionalist ‘ who writes woke tweets and does stand up in character. He complained that he can’t keep up with the level of ‘ wokeness ‘. He gave the example of Titiana ludicrously complaining about black face in Mary Poppins ( Dick Van Dyke was acting a chimney sweep ). However, a few months later an article appeared in the NYT making the exact same point !
However, I can’t imagine there will ever actually be a Farter’s Charter …or….. hmm …oh no …maybe I shouldn’t speak too soon :-)
Beans beans, they are good for your heart,
the better your heart, the more you fart,
the more you fart, the better you feel.
So beans beans for every meal.
Ours was a little bit more, uhm … good for the kids ya’know.
Beans beans, a wonderful fruit
The more you eat the more you toot
The more you toot the better you feel
So eat some beans for every meal.
But really, more seriously, if you know how to cook beans, there will be no tootin’ :-)
Dont know how to cook um yet cause I really dont eat many, but Bushes used to be my fav until the competition brought them, stuck a little yellow tag on the label, and then proceeded to ruin all the baked beans.
One of my cousins used to make great baked beans but havnt seen that side of the family in a while.

Johnson and Johnson now intend to test their new vaccine on new-borns :

How did they get from producing talc to producing fast tracked vaccines ? Who on Earth would offer up their new-born babies for a vaccine trial ?
Quite a few parents believe their child will be the next super kid if they just do what they did, yet at an earlier age, but they usually end up with some type of retardation instead, go figure.

From Paul Craig Roberts, Michael Hudson advocates debt right offs. Throughout history there used to be periodic debt jubilees – it was understood that over time the creditors ended up owning everything – and the rest were rendered totally impoverished. Even the Emperor Tiberius, alive at the time of Jesus, understood this concept saying something like “… we must remember to sheer our sheep – and not flay them…”
https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2021/03/15/it-is-time-to-remove-the-debt-barrier-to-economic-growth/
You are correct, it used to be every 50 years, then 08 hit and its just been full blown financialization of the economy.
Hard to be in a poetic with this news: thank goodness that there are bards who can…

Jeffery Kaye writes at “medium” and has posted investigating essays well supported by evidence.
Quite a bit of end-noted material on US germwar.
https://jeff-kaye.medium.com/
It would be difficult to find a better description of what passes for foreign policy in the “blob” dominated sewer that is wash dc than this opening para from linked article:
https://original.antiwar.com/srichman/2021/03/14/unspeakably-sadistic-foreign-policy/
If you had set out to construct a foreign policy designed to impose indescribable suffering on millions of innocent people around the world, you’d have a tough time coming up with anything more systematic and effective than U.S. foreign policy. An inventory of US direct military and covert operations, aid to savage governments and murderous “rebels,” and economic sanctions would easily lead one to think that the architects of this constellation of policies aimed to inflict death and maximum pain on innocent bystanders. It has been one series of crimes against humanity.
——————————-
My comment:
Absurdities abound: efforts to stop effective vaccine sputnick, efforts to apply sanctions on urgent med supplies to civilian populations and bragging about it, the continuation of arming “moderate” terrorists, stealing oil from syria, seizing iran oil on the high seas, continuing regime change efforts in the face of absolute failure, etc, etc.

Excellent article on the absolute fraudulent policies of lockdowns, which destroyed businesses, jobs, families, nations world wide; the Fergusons/Johnsons of UK, the faucis, gates, and related bureaucrats (read corrupted and owned bureaucrats) of us should take a bow and then be incarcerated for crimes against humanity:
https://www.aier.org/article/the-one-year-anniversary-of-lockdowns/
One year ago, between March 13 and 16, 2020, began what most of us would agree were the most difficult days of our lives. We thought our rights and liberties were more or less secure or could only be hobbled on the margin. We took certain things for granted, such as that our governments would not – and could not – order us to stay home, close most businesses and schools, shut down travel, padlock churches and concert halls, cancel events, much less lock down society in the name of virus control.
All that changed with a federal document issued March 13, 2020, and declassified three months later. It was the lockdown guidelines. Over the following days, governors panicked. People panicked. Bureaucrats were unleashed. All the powers of the state at all levels of society were deployed not on the virus but on the people, which is all that governments can really control. The lockdowns were nearly universal, implemented around the world but for a few holdouts, one of which was in the US (South Dakota).
———————————-
And yet, states, nations, still cling to the lockdowns with severe penalties to the violators!
For those who don’t know, back in the ’80s we used to joke about the USSR & the USSA (i.e. the ‘sovietization’ of the USA)
Well …

In US we have free speech. You can say anything you like, once. This freedom however, having been abused, will soon be eliminated for your own benefit. This is, I am sure everyone understands, an essential feature in Machtergreifung and coordination of the ruling junta.
Seriously, Szilard only said the obvious when he observed that the USSR and the US existed as a pair of dependent elements. The implication being that if one were to go “poof!” the remaining element would also go “poof!”
Since the US exists solely based on Constitutional Law, and since it no longer obeys it’s own Laws, it seems plain that both elements have, as Szilard expected, disappeared.
Of course the territory remained peopled with customs and rituals, but all these. the people, the customs, the rituals, the icons, are disintegrating daily…which is one of the things we discuss, and generally don’t like.
Bill Pfaff wrote about this process many moons ago…https://www.truthdig.com/articles/will-the-pentagon-be-the-next-u-s-institution-to-crash/
Of course, after going “poof!” the powerful people try to set up their own preferred establishment before the people twig to the reality, or the opportunity. They try to maintain a simulacrum. That might explain the urgency to “elect” the oldfella and his shadow, and (gee, yatink?) might even explain the “urgency” with which we are herded into accepting experimental “medicines”.
Thanks for that link Mr P
How true is this last para?
You’re welcome.
see book. Szilard’s “Voice of the Dolphin”
In the past I have assumed that the USSR ended first, having been triggered by corruption effort and treason and the failure of ideology. My assumption was settled in this. But now, reflecting on this assumption, I begin to doubt.
Did the US end first, thus forcing USSR to also end? It can be argued that way.
If that thesis is pursued the natural question becomes when did the US end?
For that I enter into the “Irving Speculation” about FDR – that the death was not natural, but a necessary event in a series of actions in order to betray USSR, the US Constitution, and make war on Russia. (Alperovitz’s “Decision to Use…” quotes Groves in ’44 “The bomb is for Russia.”)
(also Irving’s “Hitler’s War” – which is free to download, but ya gotta look)
Seen that way, the US “ended” in 1945 when it abandoned its own basic law. People claim that this was the result of British intrigues and subversions.
That continues this morning…and I expect the nazis will fight the Russians in Ukraine, and lose again.
It amuses me that the senile guy and the great laxy are surrounded by men with guns. How nice.

The Covid vaccine weaken your immune system like HIV, and make future Corona strains deadly.

Thanks Tomsen
I thought as much. Thats why theres more and more voices clamoring for annual vaccinations

Frontline Sis has just finished reading the material available on lab testing the ‘vaccine’ on amimals. They did do some testing. It says that after the animals where vaccinated, then ‘exposed’ to the virus, all the animals died. Make of that what you will.

Reasonably detailed summary of situation on Donbass situation in Russian (of course) by col Cassad:
https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/6629679.html
Very little separation if any between opposing forces; cassad concludes that the situation is ripe for pincer movements, cauldren/boilers ala Ilovaisk (or Debaltzev sp?)
__________________________
Translated quote from article, quoted from sources on strana. UA, ukie web site.:
But there is also a backup plan
“In this case, the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be stopped. With a high degree of probability, then the troops will have to be withdrawn so that the boilers do not repeat themselves ,” says a Strana source in the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.
That is, for the successful offensive of the Ukrainian troops, the main condition is necessary – the non-interference of Russia in hostilities. (sic)?????
But the Russian Federation, apparently, intends to intervene.
“Already, Russian electronic warfare stations are operating in Donbass. Several large units of the Russian army are deployed on the border with Donbass, including those with heavy equipment and artillery. According to our estimates, for combat deployment and commissioning in Donbass, the Russian army needs less days, ” – says a source in the Ministry of Defense.
_______________________
It is impossible to get past the naivety or false bravado-off course. the Russians will intervene if necessary and what would be that result: boilers with cannon fodder while the fat asses sit in kiev or wash dc or hide in the bushes or forests as in IIlovaisk or Debaltzev.
It is a good bet the porky or nuland or kagan or kammiebiden do not give a flying f____ about the ukie conscripts and rank and file. So then, more families will be wondering why the hell or what the hell for the loss or maiming of their family member. The thugs in wash dc could not care less.
i think i might understand why the princeling is allowing his wife to tear into the queen and the royal family now,, i found this documentary in a Ehret article from Feb and just finished watching it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2fAwemN97U
I admit i do not care about that family in any way shape or form, least of all their internal gossip and relationship in the gossip media/msm.
I see them as parasites doing the devils work for centuries.
So this might be old news for most, but that old documentary was new info for me.
If the princeling know this or perhaps more about this, i can see him wanting to punish and hurt them🤷♂️
im still not over that documentary, that jury verdict blew my mind tbh.
I had no idea, i didnt even know that the old sick husband of the queen was well known for public affairs with women. Literally having his hands up their skirt in front of people🤷♂️
The only “old news” in there for me was his german origin and nazi past+ their open racism.
Mountbatten was the set up man. He introduced Liz to Philly. At some point during the courtship, before the marriage, Liz overheard Monty and Philly discussing the upcoming marriage in which Monty says ‘stick with me kid, I’ll make you king’. Never did get quite that far, did they, Philly never got his crown, and Monty, well, we sent him back to hell. Would like to know who gave him up to the RA…………pints are on me.
Cheers, M
