Saker Message:
President Bashar Assad re-elected with 78% turnout of eligible voters and a 95.1% victory over two other candidates. The US and Western countries shut off voting for Syrians at their embassies. Despicable!
400,000 dead Syrians. A ten-year attempt by the US and Europeans to paint a regime change war as a civil war, but whose goals were to break up the Syrian state into many pieces, not just to get rid of Assad.
Russia, Hezbollah and Iran, through its militias and General Soleimani’s genius and talents, rescued the Syrian nation.
Congratulations to all the Syrian people. There is still much to do to rid the country of AQ, disloyal Kurds, the Turks, ISIS, the US, French and British special ops, the PMCs and traitors to Syrian nationhood.
With this great democratic expression of hope and support to Assad, we remember the bravery and courage of the Syrian young and old men who died and have been maimed by this heinous war of hegemony cooked up in the demented minds of Americans who made one huge mistake. They thought Putin would never come back to the Middle East with the Russian military.
This was a ‘forever mistake’ in Intelligence and Geopolitical Analysis.
Yes! Is this not wonderful news! Just a little respite, just some justice.
And not wanting to take the focus off, there is another one fwiw – here in the Tong Fu Tea House and Whisky Bar.
Human Rights Council Establishes International Commission of Inquiry to Investigate Violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel
https://www.ohchr.org/EN/HRBodies/HRC/Pages/NewsDetail.aspx?NewsID=27119&LangID=E
Opponents to the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinians to defend themselves, always paint the Jews vs. the Palestinians in Israel as a very complex issue. It’s not, says this young man, it is very simple.
The Truth about Israel;

Surely the hegemon knew as well as we nobodies sitting in the peanut gallery did, that Russia would draw the line at Iran and Syria. That the hegemon left Iran and Syria as the last countries to topple tells us that the hegemon’s strategy was sound. Syria was not a mistake: the hegemon’s gotta do what the hegemon’s gotta do to stay alive (by always growing). Limits must be tested otherwise they are just theoretical. And though the asymmetric warfare doesn’t appear to have broken in favor of the hegemon’s best case scenario of regime change there are other victories that come out of it.
Riddled as it is with all the different factions you listed, Larchmonter, Syria is no longer a recognizable nation state. I don’t doubt that the hegemon has the capacity for circumspection, and at this point it looks to me like a partial victory for the hegemon and no doubt the war of attrition will continue to grind on until its dying day.
reate, around the Saker and the blog we have some serious geopolitical analysts. If you have not figured it out yet, not peanut gallery folks.
This sentence is utter BS. “Syria is no longer a recognizable nation state”
That is exactly what makes Syria, Syria – because it maintained its secular nature and maintained some law. Thanks to Russia and a number of others. It is not finished but it will be.
Pluuueeeeze!

I concur…this is merely a continuation of the same old pattern of trollish idiocy and time-wasting incoherent blather, dressed up in a veneer of semi-literacy. The signs were there in abundance…and of course, were a clear warning not to engage. Admittedly, this time the outrageous level of tomfoolery simply cannot be ignored…
#1 Viruses don’t exist
#2 Pathogens don’t exist
#3 The present doesn’t exist
#4 And now this latest jibberish…what next?
The upside is some much-needed levity at how ridiculous some of the statements are…although most of the time one has to tediously dig deep in a mountain of rambling nonsensical and circular argumentation.
Just me, but I no longer bother. I simply engage the scroll button…what a godsend it is at times!
YCHMTSU
Col
How can you class yourselves as serious political analysts when you have people like Larchmonter still believing that Anne Frank wrote her own diary…. It was proven in court to have parts of it written in Biro which wasn’t available until well after the war!! Maybe Anne Frank was a time traveller??
Pluuueeeezze
If you’re going to use that tedious saying you might as well spell it so it makes some sense.
Nobody would say “pluuuueeezze.”
They would say “puh leeeeze.”
They would still sound cliched and unoriginal, but their spelling would at least make sense.
You’d better tell amynth then mate… I was just copying his spelling.
@reante, nee Troll, paid and literate at that:
You have given us no proof the hegemon has any conception of what Russia is going to do or when they did it, what was coming.
Take the Kalibrs fired from the Caspian fleet.
Too far, said the Hegemon.
Too small ships for missiles, said the Hegemon.
Too inaccurate, said the Hegemon.
Or, Mr. Troll, take the three cauldrons of the Donbass War.
Not a scintilla of proof that the Russians masterminded them, but we all know they did.
The Hegemon huffs and puffs, but he knows little because he thinks he knows it all.
Just like you.
Syria is very recognizable. A secular nation, multi-confessional, heroic and with China, Iran and Russia ready to rebuild, reconstruct and resurrect it.
Meanwhile, you, apparently, have thrown your lot in (for silver dollars?) with the al Nusra, ISIS headchoppers and liver eaters of AQ, the Muslim Brotherhood and the war criminals of CENTCOM.
You are lucky we have moderators who offer a place for your stupidity. Contrast is good for all to see what a literate troll looks like.
Dip your finger in the blood of Syrian children and write your opinion. Can’t get more vile. I’m betting you have a souvenir White Helmet on your desk or a poster of the decapitations of captives by your heroes, or a photo of the burning in the cage of the Syrian pilot. That one is a keeper for the supporters of chaos like you.
Gads! I was still checking out the moves.
Done and done.
Next?
Larchmonter,
Sorry to rain on your parade big guy. Looks like I caught you at a bad time. And just so your momentary paranoia doesn’t confuse the issue, when I say “caught” I don’t mean that I caught you out in some mistake, because I don’t see that you made a mistake; from your partisan, pro-East worldview, of course you are feeling victorious and like the hegemon was defeated.
I wasn’t counterpunching at your analysis. I was aiming to round-out your analysis from the perspective of the hegemon. See, I can do that because I’m not partisan. Because I’m an animist. I don’t believe in the legitimacy of any state that has ever existed. But that doesn’t mean I can’t talk geopolitics.
It’s like walking around on eggshells here…
And as an animist, how could I possibly be a paid troll, Larchmonter? Riddle me that. What I have to say about the hegemon is far more subversive than anything a partisan opponent can say about the hegemon. The hegemon loves opponents. The hegemon can’t exist for long without them.
I’ve already mentioned my Free Gaza graffiti of 2006. In 2008 or 9 I had 250 stickers printed of this image:
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSv4MuoaptRNReIRlnd_qnIdaJ8gfas_DfgSQ&usqp=CAU
Her name is raza and she suffered white phosphorus burns at the hands of the hegemon. with photoshop I overlaid type onto the image: her name, her injury, the context, and i implored the reader to place raza in their heart. I stuck the stickers all over town. this was before I grew into a man and didn’t know what else to do.
So don’t tell me I’m a paid troll. It’s untrue and it’s the dirtiest trick in the book.
The better we understand the hegemon, the better we can understand ourselves.
If the United States was infested with Russia-backed domestic and regional insurgents with military hardware, and vast swaths of US territory was in the possession of Russian troops, and Russia was taking oil from the Bakken as it’s own, etc, would you still regard what was left of the US as a nation state or would you regard it as something other than that?
As to your detailed examples, I’m not arguing with you that Russia isn’t a better fighter than the Hegemon. Everybody knows that dude. When faced with a schoolyard bully that’s bigger than you, you have no choice but to be better than the bully. I respect the Russians for rising to the occasion. I respect what is left of Syria for rising to the occasion. While I don’t believe in the authority of statesmen, Assad is clearly one of the most capable statesmen on the planet. The hegemon, on the other hand, doesn’t need to be a good fighter, and doesn’t need to have good statesmen because it’s just slouching towards Bethlehem. Investing in being a good fighter isn’t the most efficient use of resources for an empire. Empires put their resources into holding ground that they’ve gained through attrition. Hence the 900 military bases around the world that were facilitated by the petrodollar and the central banking cartel and the intelligence services/black ops much more than they were the military hardware. Wars of attrition are not hot wars. In the nuclear age there can be not real, serious hot wars between superpowers because — to repeat — last time i checked the DSM manual the elite psychopaths and narcissists who run the respective shows in the East and West are not at risk of suicidal tendencies.
Hopefully you understand where I’m coming from a little better now. If you choose not to understand then so be it. But don’t expect me to not be circumspect about geopolitics because I’m not partisan.
I know clearly now what Sheik Imram Hussein means when he refers to “the little schoolboys.”
… partisan, pro-East worldview …
That is is a stupid child’s view and I’m not going to explain it. We could use a well-known phrase by Sergey Lavrov (**** imbeciles!) … thinking that what we are dealing with here is a partisan issue.
(I can hear it … ooh aaah, she is insulting me – that would be a yes on the shallow side of things, but I am also telling the truth – there are insults and insults).
… The better we understand the hegemon, the better we can understand ourselves
Yeah, and you’re going to provide the voiceover? I wonder why? You have not looked into the eyes of it yet and that is crystal clear.
… What I have to say about the hegemon is far more subversive than anything a partisan opponent can say about the hegemon
How incredibly naive. You can ‘say subversive things and make posters too’. Wunnerful. You’re really lost.
The issue is the cost in blood and human lives and suffering and dead children and bloodshed and refugees and people in camps and bombing of civilian areas and old people being fired upon – until this hegemon has its teeth pulled – and the cost in lives and opportunity for this earth, until now and until then.
You have not seen, and you have not held and used the weapon to protect yourself and your own against this hegemony. I trust other people will weigh in, thinking specifically of Steve, because he has held the weapon for the hegemon, and can describe it succinctly and with great honor. I don’t have the words to tell – I just suffer from post-traumatic stress every now and again lol. Partisan, my ass!
… I’m not partisan
No, you’re lost. Because you do not understand what it is to stop the empire’s war and your framing is just naive. There are people here that I will take up weapons with because we are working for the end of the warfare model. And we come from many countries and many experience levels and many were displaced from hegemonic war and can tell heartrending experiences of lost family, famine, and horror. You see, Auslander does not tell everything because he cannot. I don’t tell everything because I am still under threat and I truly cannot even tell.
We know the hegemon. If you want to be the voiceover, you can take the punishment – because see, we know the hegemon and have stared into his eyes. This is not a theory.
reante, 1:27
For me it is always humorous to read the likes of that which you wrote. Methinks you are comfortably sitting somewhere in the bowels of the hegemon and have not a clue of what you wrote about. But here’s a little wake up, a little up close and personal info about what your favorite hegemon really does.
My wife and I were heavily involved in getting the refugees and evacuees out of Novorossiya in mid summer of ’14, women and children only. We had a lot of help from fellow Sakers back then and for this help we are forever grateful, and I posted on this blog a little of what the women and children told us when we got them to safe haven. But I did not tell Saker or anyone else everything.
We got almost 100 out and most had a relatively uneventful journey south to Sevastopol after I paid all the bribes and ‘transport fees’, but of that almost 100 we lost 9, three mothers, six children plus 2 drivers and 2 vans. They were murdered, slaughtered. One group had gotten lost and ended up in the forests and swamps north of the Krim border. We were too late when we went hunting for them, all we could do was bury them. After this disaster we changed how their journey was arranged and we left for the border hours before a group was due to arrive, our scouts crossed the border to an arranged meeting place and were in place one hour before arrival time. The second group we lost were early, two hours early and missed the rendezvous point by kilometers. Our scouts frantically radioed us when the group didn’t arrive and as the rest of us crossed the border in the swamp areas, as we advanced as noiselessly as we could we began to hear screams. We moved as rapidly as possible in the direction of the screaming but we were too late, they were all dead, literally butchered. But the orcs were still there, rummaging through the pitifully little the refugees had with them, laughing and joking. We buried ours again. The orcs, think what you want.
These two little vignettes are but a microcosm of what your beloved hegemon has done in the last decades. You seem to dismiss the ‘wastage’ of human life, the innocents, the helpless men, women and children slaughtered by the almighty hegemon and their hirelings as if it doesn’t matter, and to the likes of you it does not matter in the least, you don’t bury them, you don’t hear their screams, you don’t hear the mothers wailing over their dead children and husbands……but be very careful, my friend, the day may come when you do see, hear, even smell what you have so ruthlessly unleashed on this world, what you have so casually dismissed as simply what the hegemon must do to survive. I actually hope you never see and hear and smell and taste what you have done, but my fear is you will, and more’s the pity for that. And take that few words I wrote of 11 dead civilians, multiply it by 100,000 and you might begin to fathom the horrors unleashed on our world by your hegemon. A pox on the lot of you.

Hi Auslander
Absolutely!
This is just more of the macabre black comedy that this commenter persists in regurgitating on this site. The callous and ‘mightier than thou’ nature in which it is put forward IMO makes it all the more outrageous.
The same type of careless disregard for human life was shown when I posted an article proving that Ivermetion had cured the suffering of literally tens of millions of Africans. This same writer basically inferred…why bother, as these people were barely worthy of existence anyway!
Below is the comment and this truly astonishing quote…
/moveable-feast-cafe-2021-05-11/#comment-936469
…”let’s not have a bleeding heart about the billions being run through the industrial meat grinder to the point where they need antibiotics to stay alive or functional at least just like pigs in CAFOs. let’s not have a bleeding heart about that nor use it as an excuse to justify empire by lauding empire’s technological handouts that keep it’s slaves just enough alive and capture bonded besides.”. …YCHMTSU
Of course, clearly, I was not “justifying empire”…this was a simple illustration of an incredibly safe, effective, and affordable drug that saved millions from misery and death!
Cheers and bravo to you Auslander from the south seas
Col
Col, for pete’s sake, you don’t understand what I’m saying. me saying that billions of people on this planet are being run through an industrial meat grinder and being treated with antibiotics like pigs in a factory is me describing how cruel and callous this civilization is. that’s the opposite of “a careless disregard for human life.” after what you quoted I went on to say that as an antibiotic ivermectin may suppress symptoms but will also lead to weakening their general constitution, which again shows concern for human life. antibiotics wipe out our microbiome. in my previous comment to that I also showed concern for their lives when I said that improved nutrition is the only remedy for poor nutrition, and not antibiotics, and for some inane reason you ridiculed that, too, as if it wasn’t axiomatic.
It’s like I’m tulsi gabbard and you’re Hillary Clinton slandering me for meeting with that brutal dictator Assad and thereby showing a careless disregard for the Syrian people, and also being a Russian asset. Lol.
A bleeding heart is a phony who acts like they care more than they really do. If you really cared you would see that the inequality is structural. And then you’d have to question the structure itself. I don’t see you doing that. I just see you paying lip service to the inequality and championing antibiotics that merely kick the disease down the road and creates more dependency. You hate the Hegemon for malnourishing tens of millions of Africans yet you think it’s good when the hegemon completes the cycle of abuse by providing the antibiotic which makes the next cycle of abuse possible. You’re okay with the industrial People Farm.
Auslander,
Thanks for sharing with me.
I do not dismiss the current and recent death and destruction. My wife and I left the city to become as self-reliant as we could precisely because of our loathing of the imperial hegemon. we want none of the spoils of empire though of course we have benefitted from them all our lives. we are the only people we know who are like us besides one young friend.
myself, I have not done any of this. to suggest as much is the equivalent of Black Lives Matter blaming the white people alive today for racial inequality, when ALL structural inequality is simply a function of civilization itself.
ALL imperial slaughter is a function of civilization. if it’s not one empire then it’s another – if given the slightest chance. civilization is a growth paradigm, and growth paradigms require expansionary warfare. the pressurized spaces between the edges of two civilizations bumping up against each other, both needing to expand, are places to be avoided if at all possible. if avoiding those places is not possible then let there be more people such as yourself, Auslander, to help mitigate the clash of civilizations for ordinary people caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. I pay my respects.
The reason that I choose to stand above the political fray is because this same slaughter happened to my people, and your people, Auslander, and everyone here’s people, further back in history: me, you, and everyone we know are the direct descendants of formerly free, indigenous peoples of the world who chose to submit to the regional empire rather than be slaughtered. we are all descendants of those in our bloodlines who chose to give up and assimilate into one empire or another. BUT, we are ALSO the descendants of those in our bloodlines who chose not to surrender and instead fought to the death. THOSE ancestors of ours fought to the death PRECISELY so that those who surrendered wouldn’t have to surrender. But they chose to anyway, despite the family sacrifices. And none of us are now in a position to judge that choice but that choice by definition broke our spirits and we are shadows of what we could be given the open space. People like Col and amarynth can’t handle that truth so they spend their lives lying to themselves. Almost everybody does.
Let’s not be so afraid of death and dying, and of being free, that we whore ourselves out to America, or Israel, or Russia, or China, or any country. Let’s work towards our own freedom to love and live in harmony with Creation and let the chips fall where they may.
reanta
You and your wife left ‘the city’ precisely because you CAN leave the city, you CAN leave and go to a quiet area to live in relative peace and safety….. for the moment. The millions who are targets of the hegemon can not and they suffer the consequences of the fatal and brutal violence unleashed on them by the hegemon. Let me tell you what it’s like to pick up the pieces of a newborn, so newborn that the umbilical cord stub was still on the newborn’s belly, the newborn literally pulled to pieces. That, sir, is the ‘hegemon’ that you so glibly apologize for, that is the ‘hegemon’ that you and yours live in the bowels of.
As for ‘whoring’ for Russia, you have not a clue. Having personally helped carry the coffins of our Sevastopol men killed in Syria, having personally with my wife tried to give some tiny modicum of compassion to the weeping wives of our dead Spetznaz as their husband’s coffins were lowered in to eternal rest, their tears forever staining the pristine brilliant white of our dress uniform blouses, I say again, you have not a clue.
Bosnia was my/our epiphany. What and when will be yours…if ever? I personally wish you and yours eternal peace and happiness but I fear that in the end the hegemon will come for you, too, you are a danger to them however negligible, and this the hegemon can not have.
All this being said, our personal discourse is over. Forever. I don’t suffer fools, I’m too old for that.
Auslander
Auslander,
I never apologized for the Hegemon.
Like I said in a constructive manner: we should try and avoid the pressure points between two empires. Unfortunately some people find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. And some people choose to kill and be killed in the name of nationalism. That’s their prerogative. Actions have consequences. Myself I would only ever do so in the name of family, and I am willing to bear the consequences of protecting my family should I ever have to.
You don’t have the right to criticize me for living in the bowels of the Hegemon. This is where I and my family are from, no different than you are where you’re from.
Given the discord, I appreciate your well wishes, and I return them. Thank you.
Some may read the exchanges above and discover true things.
I am glad to hear from my friend Auslander.
In my own experience there exists at least 2 realities… one is the reality of the realm of thought.
The other reality is when people are trying to destroy me, kill me or my family.
Between these realities, which most people experience to some degree, there isn’t much communication, not much point in trying…
…………………..
In other matter…Ellsberg made public the 1958 report of plan to nuke China and other crime. It may take some sleuthing to get a full copy – 691 pages. (Ellsberg’s Release of Taiwan Nuclear War Planning in 1958) “THE 1958 TAIWAN STRAITSCRISIS :
A DOCUMENTED HISTORY”
This document is said to remain classified. That seems to make it a public secret. Very funny.
Since that’s his attempt to get prosecuted again under espionage act, I’ll leave it there out of respect for Saker’s rules (with which I heartily agree)
Thanks for the heads up on Ellsberg, (of whom I named my first son, and once told Ellsberg in person when we met in the 80’s). He is what a Moral Hero is.
Here’s a link from which I found the video link below when he made the disclosure of Top Secret Nuclear War Plans.
https://laroucheorganization.nationbuilder.com/daniel_ellsberg_this_month_we_must_discuss_if_we_should_go_to_nuclear_war_over_taiwan_ukraine_or_syria
Here’s the disclosure video: It is set to the time code of his statement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpvF4CdsLQ8&t=5298s
I think its too late. 1958 was different. US at that time was clearly the strongest.
Today Russia and China are a military iron wall nobody can break. They can talk and talk in Washington but cant get anywhere with military force.
I find the hegemons abilities in soft warfare much more alarming and dangerous than primitive nuclear bombs.
Yes, thanks for that Mr P, and the additional info Larchmonter445

A vote for Assad isn’t just vote for a man.
It’s a vote of defiance against the zionist neocon empire & their islamist stooges.
It’s a vote for the liberation of every inch of Syria, from Idlib, to Qamishli to the Golan.
It’s a vote for Idlib offensive
If I may I think you cannot equate the actions of the hegemon and those resisting it in the simplistic formulation of ‘two empires’.
It matters that one party is life-negating and the other is life-affirming in the domestic and fire realities they have already produced by their actions.
Capetonian,
My definition of an empire is any territory wherein if a human being has no money or money equivalent they are either, homeless, in prison, or dead. I think it’s a great definition of the anti-life and unfree nature of every state that has ever existed.
YMMV.
I agree with you that the actions of the Hegemon and the entity resisting it cannot be equated.
Thanks for your response.
We only have two viable options for arranging human society today. One is motivated by ‘the reason at work within capital’ in the paradigm it is is currently manifesting, that of empire and hegemony and the other, which has domestically subverted ‘the reason at work within capital’ to serve ‘the greatest benefit to the greatest number’ and is seeking to export this approach through a multipolar ‘free’ association of diverse nations people and cultures each expressing their own self-defined identity.
I do not see any other alternatives… please enlighten if you see any other options going forward.
In wooing sorrow let’s be brief…
She’s The Saddest Flower
She’s the saddest flower in my garden
On and on, down through the years.
Every time I beg her pardon
She all but bursts right into tears.
She’s the saddest flower in my garden;
My one and only wunderkind!
Every time I look her way
It sends her head into a spin.
She’s the saddest maid I’ve ever wooed,
What could bother her so much?
Every time we sport and play
She trembles, wilts and spurns my touch!
She’s the saddest flower in my garden
The one that dwells within my heart,
Every time I go away
She only lives in fits and starts…
She’s the saddest flower of them all
The one I hold most dear,
But every time I get too close
She turns and runs away in fear!
One Day The World Will End
One day the world will end for sure,
Just as it once began
And in that grey and lonely waste
There’ll be no trace of man.
There’ll be no need to don the cloak
Of misery and despair
To look for shelter from the storm
In guise of beast or bird of air.
One day the earth will pass away
Along with moons and suns
And all the unripe Souls will sleep
Through all of Heaven’s rounds and runs.
There’ll be no need for wear or want
There’ll be no foes to best
No undue sickness, nor undue health
When the Soul It takes Its rest.
One day the worlds will reappear
And all the souls will slowly wake,
Unto seasons and times of year
Unto strains and unto aches.
They’ll feel the pang of hunger and thirst
The bite of wind and rain.
They’ll be beset by the fire of lust
The bile of anger and bitter pain…
But then one day a time will come
To part from all our kin,
And through that grey and lonely place
Our journey must begin;
“What have you kept, what have you stored,
What have you ‘neath your wing?
Some have beauty, some have wit,
Some have gold within!”
The quote at start is fished somewhere out of Shakespeare…
All I Have
What have you saved, what have you stored,
What have you ‘neath your wing?
Some have beauty, some have wit,
Some have gold within.
I have not beauty, I have not wit,
I have no gold within.
I must defer, to you, kind sir,
All I have is sin.
What have you stored, what have you kept,
What have you ‘neath your eyes?
Some have joys and some have fears,
Some have truth and some have lies.
I have no truth, I have no lies,
I have no joys nor fears.
I must defer, to you, kind sir,
All I have are tears.
What have you sought, what have you found;
What treasure will you bargain with?
Some have wisdom, some have God,
Some religion and some have myth.
I have no religion, I have no myth,
I have no God above;
To you, kind sir, I must defer…
All I have is love!
Dimitar,
you have been missed – so good to see you back :-)
Thanks Sand. I need space to take the poetry to the next level, among other things, If there’s no interest in those ideas/works, I’m gonna look pretty silly posting here. Kindly, D.
I always ponder your poems – don’t always come to a conclusion what the message is – but even so, I am always charmed and, very selfishly, miss them when you need to take time for yourself. They’re an oasis in a cafe full of dry talk of unpleasant events, ( which I’m not criticising at all – it’s interesting ), but it is a shame you have the whole burden of the poetry side. White Whale does help – he’s sometimes quite prolific too when he gets on a roll.
Dimitar I am sure many appreciate your poems but for whatever reason don’t post. I read them for a long time before I ever responded in any way. I’m still hoping I may be able to join in again – I was so pathetically pleased when I managed to write something that was vaguely recognisable as a poem :-)
Dearest Sand, thanks for taking the time to ponder the poems and I’m glad you have found substance and nourishment in doing so. Each poem takes a unique course toward manifestation, and every poem is a fragment of a larger mosaic of similar work in various fields I’ve undertaken in this lifetime. The conclusions follow on naturally from the outset of the poem, sometimes they’re clear, sometimes maybe not. To spell those conclusions out would be another workload on top of writing them, which I don’t have the time for, at least at the time of every writing. ( That will be addressed hopefully, in an art/poetry project I’m working on ). However, I’m always happy to engage anyone should someone ask.
Poetry doesn’t always add up like a mathematic equation, of course, but has its own specific logic and is designed to Gove the reader an experience, or at the least, lead them on a course of contemplative thought or rumination. I realise people may still enjoy them but as a poet, I do need to point out that what I do is far more than window dressing and if people want to know more about what I’m writing about, like yourself, then they need only ask. I’m not expressing exasperation so much as a very human need to communicate. If it’s only a passing curiosity to most, then it will slowly disappear, however, if there are a very few, like yourself and Whitey, and others, then we shall continue as long as we possibly can. Love in Spirit, D.
Please do keep posting Dimitar. As you say it is not just window dressing. Your poetry opens the window to let in the light
“I was so pathetically pleased when I managed to write something that was vaguely recognisable as a poem…”
Only you can decide whether you want to write or not. If you decide you do want to write, then, the first thing you need to do is have or create an image within yourself of what to you, is a perfect poem! Good practice for this is reading other people’s work, and asking yourself, where do I fit amongst all this? So, number 1… create the image or feeling within yourself of the poetry you want to write.This is known as ‘thinking from the end’. Number 2, cannot proceed w/out 1, so make sure you have that sense of what you want very clearly ( I can’t believe I’ve re-iterated that first point three times, but that’s how important it is… ), back to 2; ask yourself when you’ve found a poem you like, why the poem affects you the way it does. This is a fascinating question to ask one’s self. Why does one poem affect you and another not? The answer is that you recognise something of yourself in the poem. Poetry after all, deals with states of consciousness and it does so in a way that is not anchored in the conscious mind. It’ll intrigue you, make you feel and or think in a specific manner different to the way you usually do. Number 3: Write! Don’t give up. You will slowly begin to delineate ‘the lineaments of your desire” in your work. Don’t think that inspiration and the perfect poem will drop into your lap. It may take days, weeks, years, lifetimes. For example, the gem, “All I Have” presented above, came hot on the heels of about 10 days of intense writing. I count it as one of my best poems and it would not have appeared had I not done the endless hours of prior work.
A few more important points to consider… The Law of Economy. One unnecessary syllable can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Don’t try to show your cleverness, brilliance or wit. Think always of the poem first, and any cleverness, brilliance or wit will come into play. Your “brilliance” left unchecked, can often be what kills the poem. The simplest approach is often the best. I once presented a song to a producer who said he stumbled upon the opening lyric, b/c the connection I was making was not obvious to him, and he lost the train of the song, b/c he got caught up in that one line and what it meant.
Don’t give your poem constraints of time and space. Let the poem write itself. You will know when it’s complete, b/c it will reflect the image within you of what you consider a worthy poem.
Probably the most important part – if you feel you want to be a poet, or anything else for that matter, is of course, not to give up. A poem, after all, is a specific assembling of words, strung together like pearls on a string. Each pearl represents a truth. So every poem is line after line of what you consider to be truths. Yes, they do need to be entertaining, accessible etc. but w/out truth, at whatever level… they will not fly.
Dimitar,
you’re so kind – you’ve taken the time to try to advise me quite a few times now – it’s so good of you. I’m a very dim bulb sometimes.
Strangely enough, the ‘ poems ‘ I wrote ( I don’t make any claims of quality ) came as ideas which were almost poems already before I started – they seemed to be there – I just had to arrange them a bit. Hmmm….I haven’t had any more ideas !
As to asking you to explain the meaning in your poems – I wouldn’t like to take away the magic – I want to contemplate them and find find whatever comes to me.
Thanks again D.
“I want to contemplate them and find whatever comes to me..” This is the best approach. I don’t ‘analyse’ them myself. Only if I have to. lol. As for the pointers on poetry writing, no problem. The process throws all that stuff up, so putting it down here is a way for me to condense my thoughts on the subject, B.
Dimitar post post post!!!
Pls post!!! Pls share :)
Its always good balancing of the other side of the brain :)
and more fun fun fun :)
… and thanks :)

Poetry speaks to the heart, bypassing intellectualism, balances the sad incidence of online bullying, and has other numerus beneficial attributes for maintaining health, wellbeing, and good spiritual posture.
an intellectual
bypass, is not a lobotomy,
as some may think
Anomalous and ‘?’… Poems are like children, once ya birth ’em, they wanna leave home sooner or later. I will post poetry as long as I have worthy poetry to post, and time to write it of course. Thanks for the love, D.
Thanks for the poems, much appreciated, and the Haiku ;) The intellect is the dutiful, highly skilled, responsible director of the mind traffic, and signals the way to the heart, and once there, establishes a connection to thought.
That’s it’s job!
If people could only think this through, get the idea, put it into practice, there’d be peace on earth, not to mention at the Café !
I thought of Wolfhound while I was listening to this. An nde account from someone whose helicopter was shot down in Vietnam.
https://www.talkzone.com/episodes/199/11265.html
Anomalous,
Thanks for thinking of me. When I was in my war, Nam, I was quite ignorant of such things as “Near death experience” and although I was wounded, I was not wounded so badly to have experienced such. In retrospect I wonder about those that I was near when they died if they were experiencing such as they died. Some died instantly like the dog handler who jumped off another chopper and ran to the woodline and disappeared in a VERY large explosion/mine. He and the dog were literally vaporized. A day or so later I found the top of his skull and my CO told me to toss it into the bushes as we had nothing else to send back. As we dug into that area I was Platoon point and found several mines on a trail but apparently missed one. That evening a kid who had only two weeks left stepped on it and was also instantly killed. A couple days later very close to that spot a kid named Rodney Johnson who I went thru Infantry and Jump School training with was near the Platoon Sergeant who also stepped on a mine. The sergeant died in about 45 minutes and Rodney took 3 days. I suspect they both experienced some type of NDE. Another kid I went thru all my training with and was in my company, Richard Parham had a grenade and Claymore go off on his web belt and he also died instantly. The “Iron Triangle” was tough on us Wolfhounds, but, I also understand that we were the “visiting team” and the “home team had every right to fight the “invaders”. I guess that I had some ideas about “NDE’s” as I felt that the spirits of any and all sides probably wander the land they died in.That was an unsettling thought that if I had died there that my spirit would forever not “be home”. Now I think that “home” is a much larger thing.
Wolfhound
Many people who had nde report they feel they have come home. It is also the experience of meditation the deeper into one’s heart one goes the close one feels to home
the closer …..
Autocorrect strikes again
At end of last café I made a comment to Tuppence” s post regarding water charged with conscious intent. Reante replied to this that the best is natural spring water with its natural energy. It is true that natural spring water is best. Absolutely. But this water can be improved still further. Holy water is water which has been blessed by an energy higher than that of this earthly realm.
From St. Teresa of Avila
” I know by frequent experience that there is nothing which puts the devil’s to flight like holy water. They run away before the sign of the cross also, but they return immediately: great, then, must be the power of holy water. As for me, my soul is conscious of a special and most distinct consolation whenever I take it. Indeed, I feel almost always a certain refreshing, which I cannot describe, together with an inward joy, which comforts my whole soul.”
Anomalous,
Threeche!
(Touche, threeche.)
There is no touche here. I was not scoring points. I expand on a point you made. To expand further would be to speak of the inner fountain of living waters which we all have.
Devil’s here is the autocorrect function of the phone. It should be devils.
Why do some people prefer ‘Leningrad’ over the name ‘St. Petersburg’? What is the general consensus among readers of this site – that is, is there a general preference of one name over the other?
The name of Moscow comes from a Russian river, and I don’t know what it means, perhaps an etymological expert will emerge, but St Petersburg, then Leningrad, were chosen out western political interests.
personally, I prefer St Petersburg, to Leningrad, as it has romantic connotations, memories, history, but the city nonetheless, is literally embedded in the marshland’s of western intervention..
There now, how about that, a new controversy to distract any overwrought Café thinkers ;)
Waiter, I’ll have the Tong-Fu tea please……
joey_n, the question was good, and by way of explanation, my answer was not intended to be controversial, from experience here, this happens sometimes, but a spontaneous contribution, perhaps there will be more…
Concerning a discussion above, this was, of course, well resolved, and irony was meant by ‘overwrought’.
Tuppence
As a OT side note (not answering your question), the name of the county (oblast) to which St. Petersburg belongs, is still Leningrad Oblast. So that can be confusing sometimes when the oblast is mentioned.
But I understand that this was not what you wondered.

Ivermectin in India – it’s turning things around.
The article calling on penicillin is of course overstated. Penicillin was a wonderful substance in its time before it was chemicalized. We all know that prescription drugs have been oversubscribed to the extent that superbugs developed. We all know that one takes a prescription drug basically never. We don’t use Pharma products, but diet and carefully combined herbs and spices and other things.
This is what the numbers look like:
Cases in Delhi, where Ivermectin was begun on April 20, dropped from 28,395 to just 2,260 on May 22.
This represents an astounding 92% drop.
Likewise, cases in Uttar Pradesh have dropped from 37,944 on April 24 to 5,964 on May 22 – a decline of 84%.
Ivermectin is cheap, been used forever, and possibly in the circumstances of India a very good solution. Not everyone can follow the regime that we follow – Vit D right in the sunshine and lab tests to see that we are at blood saturation levels individually, making fresh Liposomal Vit C every second day .. our regular shot of Chaga Tea, and so on.
I am not too worried about the Indian folks and their continued health or dis-ease by taking ivermectin. They have a huge culture of diverse yogurts and fermented foods. The Indians will follow their local and traditional Ayurveda and others, so, any harm from Ivermectin will soon be ameliorated. I’m very happy that they did not fully bend the knee to Big Pharma and took to the Ivermectin and I’m happy that it is working for them.
There are many overstated and sheer irresponsible statements in the Zero Hedge article, so kindly read with caution and take that which is good only.
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/ivermectin-new-penicillin
If you research ivermectin note the various trade names and it is registered as different things in different countries. So, in one country it could be registered as a deworming substance, and in another country it could be registered for something else. This causes a great amount of confusion. But what I know, this one will not make Big Pharma rich as it is long since generic and even small compounding pharmacists can make it in different countries.
“Ivermectin in India – it’s turning things around.”
What, exactly,is it turning India round from:

Zach Bush, a triple board certified holistic doctor predicted in 2019 that a global health crisis would emerge out of Wuhan. While we can’t know for sure if there is a bioweapon out there or if there is not, his theory is a definite possibility and it’s stands to ecological reason.
He believes the prime suspect is the gargantuan Wuhan industrial hog industry. He believes the many antibiotics-saturated, anaerobic inland seas of pigshit are nothing less than a parallel evolution on earth that is spilling over into mainstream evolution.
The anaerobes that exist in nature in order to recycle death back into life are perfectly at home with death under natural conditions but in these foul waste pools they are held captive and fighting for their own survival: the anaerobes have to wake up from dormancy when in anaerobic conditions because that is their lot in life. In these pool they have to basically eat this antibiotic waste or dying trying. This puts immense pressure on anaerobic life. In trying not to die they do everything they can, and in the process communicate their efforts to their neighbors by making exosomes. These pool are vast laboratories for anaerobic life to try and figure out how to overcome the Hegemon’s imperial antibiotic war against anaerobic life – against death itself.
Via horizontal gene transfer (HGT/LGT) these microbes are continuously problem solving with each other under pressure. It’s a beautiful feat of collective consciousness in its own right. The anaerobic rebels and freedom fighters of Wuhan. No nationalism required.
All of these inland seas of pigshit engage in HGT with each other via airborne transmission. These exosomes piggyback on PM 2.5 air pollution and other airborne particles and they travel the globe and become part of the ‘viral’ soup in which we live. Indeed, about 50pc of our human genome is ‘virus’ genetics. If a particular new exosome is traveling the planet and signaling to the rest of Creation that there are some new super gnarly anaerobes in Wuhan, then the anaerobes themselves are also traveling the globe in their dormant state: these inland seas do not exist in isolation.
Zach contends that we are dealing with an ungodly exosome from a parallel evolution, and being a constructive, health-oriented young man, he euphemistically refers to the exosome that he believes is causing the global health crisis as a “major evolutionary update” to our HGT-based evolutionary biological program which is constantly updating itself.
Evolution is a communication system that facilitates problem solving. That why we qualify life as intelligent life. Across all organisms it’s defined by a singular consciousness.
The exosomes (‘virus’) of the new anti-biotic anaerobes are the courtesy call by the new anaerobes, to let everyone know that they are here, so that our bodies don’t consider them toxins in and of themselves when they are inside us cleaning up our dead tissues. This exosomal courtesy call is nature’s ‘vaccine,’ or nature’s homeopathy. Asymptomatic ‘Rona,’ then, is according to Zach a great thing because as adaptive creatures of evolution we need to stay apprised of what’s going on.
A bad case of the Rona, however, is not wisely treated with antibiotics. Why? Because the new anti-biotic resistant anaerobe that goes hand in hand with its exosome will outcompete the other anaerobes to repopulate the human microbiome after the antibiotics begin to wear-off, and anaerobic microbiome diversity is every bit as important as aerobic diversity.
You say that your confident that yogurts and fermented foods will take care of any problems. It is well-established that successive courses of antibiotics cause successive and permanent reductions in beneficial microbial diversity because the highly competitive facultative anaerobes like candida albicans bounce back first in the nuked-out terrain following a course of antibiotics, and if they are fed enough starchy foods like rice, even as categorically ‘beneficial’ (facultative) aerobes they will crowd out other aerobic microbes. Candidate metabolize starches into alcohols, which are toxic. The toxins cause anaerobic epithelial tissue damage and death and the candidae, being facultative and swinging both ways, can also live on the poorly-oxygenated tissue and that is what we colloquially call an internal fungal ‘infection.’ Systemic fungal infections when chronic result in all manner of disease from toenail fungus to alzheimer’s and dementia. Of course, it is not the fungus causing the disease but, in this example, which is a very real and common example, it is the antifungal/antibiotic agent that caused the systemic disease along with the inability of the host to overcome that antibiotic with the consistent eating of a nutrient-dense, healing diet.
Chronic drug dependence only ever results in eventually hitting rock bottom which comes with catastrophic consequences. There’s no justifying it for the holistic practitioner. There’s no advocating for it in truth because we know what the unintended consequences are.
If you’re going to push ivermectin, you need to be up front about the consequences. Saying ‘oh you’ll be fine just eat your yogurt and your sauerkraut’ isn’t good enough. Antibiotics are weapons. They are extremely powerful and I acknowledge that they can save fragile lives in the short term by suppressing the symptoms resulting from an explosion of anaerobic life in our body when our body has called upon them to recycle necrotic tissues that we ourselves have killed off so that we can regrow new tissues. But they come with major consequences and we must understand biology in order to appreciate that.
In their plausible deniability, these antibiotics are just like glyphosate, which are also antibiotics. They are directly causal to disease but the establishment ignores the biological causality that goes on within the middle links in the chain of disease, the microbes, and thereby creates plausible deniability that there is a connection between antibiotics and chronic disease and the premature death that resilts from chronic disease, and everyone goes on about their business as usual.
Oh dear god … we’ve seen it all — and we see it over and over again. There is a reason ya’know.
Now it is the hog farms in Wuhan from a a triple board certified holistic doctor. Aaawwwweeee, bow down all you sheeple — triple board certified! — OMG. Not the hog farms in the US … not the many many hog farms in Mexico although they are cleaning up. We heard how dirty they are, how they spit, how they smoke too much how they eat wild meat and the horrors of their ‘wet market’ and whatever you can think of.
So, Larry Romanoff’s is recovering his early material. This includes much from Cynthia McKinney and just a number of solid people. The Romanoff material was cleaned off of the internet just about overnight very early last year.

Amarynth, my dear lady, please maintain your usual calm demeanor and be of good cheer. You should feel honored, you have just been raised to Biblical proportions to the point where you can now wholeheartedly sympathize with the Philistines and how they felt after being flayed by the jawbone of an ass.
Kindest regards,
Auslander and Ye’lean’chka
hahaaa Auslander .. you’ve always been the man with the words! All good on our side but the craziness is reaching a new crescendo.
Please take my good wishes to the better half and kiss the dogs lol.
Amarynth, my dear lady,
I thought you might like that one. Last eventide when Ye’lean’chka and I were having our evening wine and whine end of day chat wherein we discuss everything and anything that happened during the day, I did for once open up the lap top and show her what our new troll was gassing about. We wrote the reply to you together and she’s the one who remembered what I said about being flayed by the jawbone of an ass some years ago and she’s the one who put everything in proper context and order. People think I am joking when I tell them Russian women don’t take prisoners when outsiders ask what it’s like being married to a Russian lady for so many years. I’m not and they don’t.
The wine, Massandrah Roso’veh, was good, the ambiance was better than good as we enjoyed the quiet of our peaceful little valley, Sophia and her uncle Ruslan snoring at our feet, Ye’katarina quiet as a mouse as she explored dreamland under the table.
Shortly it’s time for the early evening ‘everyone gets to play in the yard’ session, so between the ball tossing and them chasing each other we’ll toss in a few more kisses than usual and tell the children that the smooches are from their Tant’ Amarynth living many kilometers west of us.
Kindest regards
Auslander
Everything this person says is absolute nonsense.
His dogmatic insistence, with no proof or logic, that bacteria don’t exist is inane.
Anyone who has put a handful of soil under a microscope knows that it is teeming with billions of living organisms. Some are big, like earthworms, others are so small that they can’t be seen with the naked eye. If those really small guys get into your body, in places where they aren’t supposed to be, like in your blood stream or inside your flesh, they will make you sick. Just cut your arm and rub some rich dark soil on it, or rub some in your eye. What will follow is called an infection.
There are certain chemicals produced by organisms on Earth which kill other organisms. There are plants and fungi that produce chemicals which can kill people and animals. There are plants that produce chemicals which impede the growth of other plants. People produce earwax that impedes the growth of bacteria. And there are fungi and bacteria that produce chemicals which can kill and impede the growth of other bacteria.
After you get an infection from rubbing soil in your eyes, apply some tetracycline ointment to your eyes. Tetracycline is a chemical produced by certain tiny creatures in the soil everywhere, and it will make your eye infection magically go away.
What this person suggests is akin to “I don’t believe in bacteria because I can’t see them.”
All I can say is, get a microscope buddy, it’s time for a rude awakening.
P.S. Apparently there are ancient Egyptian mummies which have tested positive for tetracycline. It is hypothesized that the ancient Nubians brewed a beer which contained the anti-biotic tetracycline, which arose as a result of fermentation activity of certain yeast or bacteria. In recent decades scientists have started to realize the potential of genetically altered yeasts to produce basically any chemical they are programmed to produce. These tiny microscopic creatures were utilized by our ancestors, and are responsible for bread, beer, wine, and now it seems tetracycline as well.
Anon,
I never said bacteria don’t exist. And I never said that natural defense mechanisms aren’t produced by all manner of organisms.
As Alan Watts famously said, some things are more natural than others, and farming microbes for the industrial manufacturing of tetracycline falls into the ‘others’ category.
From 2021-05-14 MFC, reante:
“We don’t have immune systems. Microscopic imaginary terrorists without boxcutters are a figment of a psychotic collective. Lol. Pasteur admitted as much himself before he died. The man was an utter fraud and cheat.
If the microscopic terrorists don’t exist, and there is zero evidence for them existing as such, then there is nothing to fight and, by extension, no need for the standing army they call the immune system.
If we want to be true anti-imperialists we can’t just relegate that impulse to the geopolitical arena. We have to apply anti-imperialism wholistically. Nobody here can deny that germ theory is a perfect echo of imperial paranoia.
In truth, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
—
“I never said bacteria don’t exist. And I never said that natural defense mechanisms aren’t produced by all manner of organisms.”
You very clearly expressed your belief that disease causing bacteria do not exist, in the context of the discussion.
And what is the immune system if not another term for “natural defense mechanism?”
So, do you deny the existence of natural defense mechanisms of the human body against microscopic disease-causing agents such as bacteria et al, or not?
This is the second time that I am writing this comment. If there is some reason why the mod feels this comment should be rejected again, I would be curious to know what that reason is.
Anon,
In that quote I was talking about viruses because the use of terrorist is a reference to the supposed viral hijacking of cells which has never actually been observed but nonetheless fits beautifully with the germ theory model so they ran with it.
It is true that disease causing bacteria don’t exist. But bacteria themselves certainly exist. Bacteria CAN create secondary symptoms of illness but they cannot cause the illness itself. Dead or diseased or inflamed tissues are the primary symptoms of disease, and the CAUSE of disease is always trauma of one kind or another.
What people call germs are just anaerobes that recycle our tissues when our body cuts off oxygen to them because they have become diseased.
Correlation does not equal causation.
We don’t have a germ fighting immune system because germs don’t exist. We have distributed filter system. This filter system includes transport(er) proteins for moving foreign bodies to the filters as well as macrophages. Germ theory calls some of these transport proteins of foreign bodies ‘antibodies,’ and says they fight terrorists but they’re just removing foreign bodies from the blood that don’t belong there.
The difference is quite subtle but immensely important. I only ever use soap now to remove petrochemicals from my hands because it’s a powerful surfactant. Otherwise aerated water and rubbing, sometimes with a cloth is how I clean myself.
You might say that our saliva is a natural defense mechanism when we instinctively lick our wounds, because it has some powerful cleaning agents in it that germ theorists regard as antibacterial because in cleaning dead tissues the agents make them inhospitable to anaerobes.The keeping of external wounds clean of dead tissues is a good thing. Just because there are situations when our body doesn’t want certain microbes in certain places doesn’t mean that they are our enemies, because there are always other situations and places where we do want and need them.
Internal wounds or disease require anaerobes to clean up the tissues which causes symptoms like inflammation, pain, swelling, and redness.
Saliva also has agents that promote cell growth.
You have toned down your rhetoric, which is good. But nevertheless, what you are suggesting is dangerous misinformation.
There will come a day when you or someone dear to you is afflicted with a serious bacterial infection. Please don’t stop your loved ones from taking antibiotics, because of your misguided notions.
I will end this with a personal anecdote. I have had multiple bouts of covid. The last one gave me a secondary eye infection, because of a severely weakened and compromised immune system. I did not realize at the time that the symptoms of “conjunctivitis” that I was experiencing were caused by something other than the covid itself. I recovered from the covid, but still continued to suffer from impaired vision and gooey eyes in the morning.
My vision continued to deteriorate, until finally I started to apply a 1% tetracycline ointment to my eyes, once in the morning and once at night. My eyes recovered very quickly after that. And my vision is now more or less back to how it was before.
Gooey eyes in the morning is a symptom of infection. Eye infections can be viral or bacterial. If it is bacterial, an antibiotic will cure it. If it is viral, antibiotics will do nothing.
Is our current medical model perfect? No.
Does it work as far as treating illness is concerned? Yes.
You are definitely not a medical practicioner. You should not be spreading dangerous misinformation that helps no one.
Anon,
a dog story.
one of anatolian shepherds had an accident and ruptured one of his salivary glands on a bone and his saliva started building up in his throat. conventional wisdom is to have the surgeon drain the throat and also repair the gland because the injury is considered to be often fatal as the saliva builds up in the throat to the point where the trachea is pinched and the dog asphyxiates.
we do not do vets and the surgery is beyond my ability. we applied a poultice to the neck and gave repeated massages. we gave the area our attention. after some days his breathing became labored and we wondered whether he might actually die that night. In the morning we saw that he had opened up two holes in his neck, one about the size of a quarter and the other the size of a dime, and drained the fluid all over the house lol. He was now ready to eat again and we fed him from our stock of raw elk ground and cougar broth (I kid you not) we had frozen from when I came across a cat on top of one of our goats as it was just about ready to start tucking in.
the dog rested and ate like a king for about a week. we kept an eye on the beautiful pink edges of the holes. over several weeks he swelled that edge tissue up, he licked the back of his paw and rested his throat there, and those holes closed. about three months later he opened up a little pinhole for secondary drainage, closed it up, and now he’s good as new, and learned something in the process, by earning it.
that’s what I mean when I talk about the intelligent body.
saliva is a far greater health product than one might suspect, given how animals ‘lick’ wounds and such, So there I where, watchin’ some mind drivel, Life Below Zero, Agnus and her daughter were on a early hunting trip, and off they went. As they neared a waylay point they stopped and went inside, outside temps were -40, and skidoos provide their own form of wind chill factor. They had frost bite, now Agnus’ face was very red before they even set out. She said this winter, up north in Alaska, it came early, very cold, way colder than it has been in years past. Everything froze before they could get set up for winter. According to Agnus she had gotten frost bite the week before so that explained the redness. And of course with this stop they were also dealing with frost bite…..how do Inuit treat frost bite…….saliva from the mouth, and the clear liquid from the ‘runny’ nose, they wipe it on the frozen skin, she says it’s the best way to treat frost bitten skin……………thinkin’ of those old time, old school moms, that’d wipe the baby’s face with a wet diaper………try doin’ that in public today.
Cheers, M
Another great UKcolumn video :
https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-28th-may-2021 The topics are listed below the video – among them :
– Dr Scott Jensen explains how all data are corrupted – ( I remember posting a video with Jensen many months ago – he has been calling out the hysteria from the start – and has been threatened with the revocation of his medical licence for his trouble.) He’s now standing for governor. He is especially outraged by threats of mandated covid vaccines for children.
– The UK government has constantly said no there will be no passports – while behind the scenes setting them up. Has just awarded a £21 million contract for vaccine certification documents..
– Dominic Cummings has been grandstanding in Parliament – attacking Bojo as not fit – but it looked like a performance to me – much passionate gesturing. – a choreographed performance – he’s actually advocating more lockdowns / restrictions. He also happily relates how Bill Gates was telling the government what had to be done.
Can watch at speed / fast forward to topics of interest..
could not reply earlier,
you heard it rightly and understood: those who go to those institutions do not come back….

this so great I am fully with them
Thanks Bernie.
terrible times we’re living in. Here in the UK we’re assailed every day with tales of the ‘ Indian variant ‘. On the other hand there is no doubt this story will be completely ignored.
dear sandinED, bernie and all
Vietnam is reporting that they NOW have a new variant – the marraige of the indian and the UK variant and appearantly the virus can ‘couple together’ in the air…
okie okie… whatever…
still be good to STILL take extra prevention is always better than cure
keep up your immune defence!!!
be well be safe
p/s the mod has deny my offer to post a TCM remedy, as the cafe rules here… if anyone is in need pls share and let us know here… at the very least, prayers works!

I’ll assess if it is good for here, otherwise, we post up in the community and link to there.
Good enough? I’d love to see it.
Speculating on Ellsberg’s motivation, and on the History, one may expect the thought to arise naturally to ask when, if even, the imperial strategy was changed from… https://youtu.be/kepFpWeyyqQ (this is the real life guy telling it straight…and also to model for General Ripper…
It may seem to some that the imperial policy that nuclear gizmos are just bombs like RDX bombs might not have changed. It’s just a shot away…like the song.
This seems to be one aspect of Ellsberg’s motivation. (Ellsberg says Power’s subordinate officers thought him “unbalanced”…https://youtu.be/kepFpWeyyqQ (you tell me!)
Another is to dare them to prosecute…and expose the strategy that much more, and to compare the matter to Assange’s brutal treatment…after all, Ellsberg seems to say he actually stole the document, while Assange stole nothing. Ahemmm.
Mr P, I think Elsberg is giving a warning. He may have a few objectives. I’m doing the small Chinese Sitrep now, and with your kind permission, will add the Elsberg exposure to some other developments. Too strange to be coincidental!
Not sure about Ellsberg, but that problem has been resolved!
Taiwan the most dangerous place on Earth: The Economist
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/4191181
The Econ publish that last month or so and the Taiwan media went crazy w it…
Basically, Econ acheive what they set out to do – Split the Taiwan population, even more, Pro-independance and Pro-china One Country Two Systems
As w military strategy, its open secret now, USSA while making the current Taiwan leadership/puppets feel they have a strong backing, they didnt hide the plan to use Taiwan as the floating Aircraft Carrier. See the cover pic and you’ll get the idea – sandwich. If Taiwan goes down, USSA lost nothing. If Taiwan makes it, USSA gets the propaganda glory. Thus there is no holding back to nuk Taiwan, in event that they loses in SCS, and leave a mess behind, just like they did in NAM.
They know they cannot even ‘touch’ china and now losing or already lost the first chain, so, again, no holding back to ‘flip the table’. They dont care about war crime or colleteral damage. That much is clear.
So what does china do then?

Ru and Chine need no warning, so I reason Mr E is attempting to Change Imperial Policy… which is that there is no qualitative difference between TNT and Pu – only the size of the circle of obliteration.
(people may wish to read the documents proffered – some 700 pages more or less. I did.)
That’s been Policy since 1944 (at least) when Groves said “the bomb is for Russia”. (Alperowitz)
I doubt the Ellsberg can change that policy. Thus reason that he’s playing Cassandra.

About Wuhan…see “The Big Con” … a basic element of the confidence game is to arrange the game such that the mark believes he’s responsible for the outcome. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/403452.The_Big_Con
I wrote in 2019 that the virus agent was an Imperial product and that “Mr Chine” was the mark. The game’s a classic, but being run by incompetent amateurs.
The Empire began using biological agents against China and Korea in 1952 (Jeffery Kaye @ medium & etc). The Chinese were precisely aware of this. They still are. They were not deceived. One might criticize, however, the start date, as the opium attacks in the 19th century may be seen at the first phase.
Some may speculate that the imperial strategy assumed that the “stupid” victim-target would be overwhelmed (as the MI briefings in late 2019 said, incorrectly), and that the victim-target(s) would be obliged to beg for the cure…which is the real agent, the virus being only the lure into the game.
By controlling the virus Mr Chine and Mr Ivan have totally fubared the game. Worse, they have economic and military superiority – and that situation is strengthening by the day.
Now what double-down tactic can imperial force bring to bear, except direct violence. explosives? There uncooperative victims failed to fall for the game…
My speculation is that Ellsberg expects the imperial forces to double, and that means nukes.
I cannot say I disagree with you Mr. P.
On the biological agents, we have some disclosure/exposure there as well. Of course, we knew but now, we know.

Report of the International Scientific Commission for the Investigation of Bacterial Warfare in Korea and China: With New, Original, and Explanatory Material
The story is: “This 667 page truth commission report has the dubious distinction of being the most vilified written document of the 20th Century. The report’s release in September, 1952, brought a withering international attack. It was roundly denounced by American and British politicians of the highest rank, ridiculed by four star generals, accused of fraud by celebrated pundits, misquoted by notable scientists, and scorned by a compliant Western press.
Charges were made against the quality and truthfulness of its science. Its “unstated” political agenda was denounced. The ethics of interviewing captured US pilots was excoriated and its authors were publicly flayed as communist dupes. The report was red baited in the US halls of Congress and deemed unpatriotic to read, and therefore went unread and deliberately forgotten over the years, which has been the fate of Korean War history in general. In subsequent decades, volumes placed in American university library collections were quietly and permanently removed from circulation.
When the rare copy came up for auction, it was discretely purchased and disappeared from public view. This critical 67 year old truth commission document from the Korean War was slipping towards oblivion. For these very reasons, historians and truth seekers should exalt the wondrous rebirth of the ISC Report from near extinction with the publication of this new electronic edition. We welcome the sunshine that re-publication brings to a shadowy and suppressed chapter of American Cold War history. ”
It is incredible that these old military doctrines are new and in play today.
I would be cautious about a $ amazon kindle edition. Jeffery Kaye linked to a free copy. https://jeff-kaye.medium.com/
One may assume that Chinese military academy includes in the syllabus a section on the history of germ war against China, and that both Russian and Chinese officers are entirely versed in the tactic. For myself, as a cadet in (US) officer training germ warfare was right there with nukewar and taking good care of jeeps and M1 rifles. (military raining was rather fun, but the ethics seemed based on lies, invalid a priori assumptions, if you like, and thankfully I escaped. An uncle, a Quaker, appallingly, played his part hauling N bombs around in B47’s…we can’t communicate at all…he remains now entirely delusional.)
Since the imperial amateurs who crafted this absurd affair are totally busted and in zuswang (if the thesis about the mRNA stuff is correct there will be major blame to deflect when the millions start dropping off the twig – ain’t seen ‘nutting yet!), they will have created the situation in which to deflect blame they’ll have to bomb somebody…and a nifty false flag (hey, what can go wrong!)
When, speaking of doctrines, pirates can’t raid by river and sea, they smash with cannon (or other missiles)…but why? Well, for treasure, or for spite > Thus “what we want” (aka why we fight) https://youtu.be

Since the movement is favoring the Earth Island of China and Russia, empire is liable to take the hail Mary course and try to change the outcome. Plan Virus/Vax went like wet squib. They always double…
They’re losers. And sooner or later they’ll get hurt… There’s nothing like a punch in the gut to destroy illusions, and I am quite sure that both the Russians and the Chinese are calculating the precise character of that sort of comeuppance.
Ellsberg says Strangelove film is not a comedy, not a drama…but documentary.
Dear Saker,
Trust Perfidious Albion’s MI6 career liars to concoct psyops in record time after volunteering to “assist” the CIA just a few days ago. Complete with the scientific world’s version of Bellingcat to guarantee populist success.
Not only will it whip up hysteria among the gullible, it is music to Christian Zionist GOPtard ears, is potentially the glue of common hatred for “the other” that Biden promised to “unite” America, and will likely be Biden’s divide and rule gambit at the upcoming LOL summit with VVP in Switzerland.
This may turn out to be existentially challenging to us all, and certainly throws a spanner into the Eurasian integration project. I don’t believe VVP will bite this bait.
I hope you will analyse this and open it up for debate.

🦠🔬British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Birger Sorensen claim to have found evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus originated at a Wuhan lab. The 22-page study was obtained by the Daily Mail and is expected to be published in a scientific journal within a few days.
NJ
I have something somewhat similar. There were at times three countries involved. Each country could have had the same opponent or perhaps three different ‘enemy countries’ in the back of their minds. I tried to get this out before but no go. A project like this, if real, should not be shared with two other countries, in fact it should not even be started. So a lot of ‘if’s’. I am curious to see what Biden makes of it if anything. It will be behind the curtain.
Was the US complicit in China’s Covid research?
If the US was working with China and Canada, before the virus started running amuck which led to agenda based weaponizations, who was the target country? Surely one or all of the three involved in this complicity had an adversarial country in mind. Will Biden’s urgent report be a gift to Putin and will it be fair? I think your divide and rule is a good assumption.
It’s time to put US collaboration with Chinese scientists on ‘gain of function’ coronavirus research under a microscope
By STEPHEN BRYEN And SHOSHANA BRYEN
MAY 27, 2021

The Joe Biden administration closed the US State Department’s investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic.
But as the pandemic recedes in the United States, there is renewed interest by the scientific and journalistic communities about the origins of the virus and whether it could have escaped from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). So, a day later, the president opened a new investigation.
The flip-flop came amid Senator Rand Paul’s claim at a Senate committee hearing on the Covid-19 pandemic that the US collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China to make a more deadly, transmittable coronavirus. That’s putting the Chinese lab leak theory, which Beijing vigorously denies, back at the forefront of the Covid-19 origin debate.
Based on papers published by WIV on the scientific work of Dr Shi Zhengli, the US government investigators have some catching up to do. In 2015, Dr Shi – popularly known as the “bat lady” – published a paper entitled “A SARS-like cluster of circulating bat coronaviruses show potential for human emergence.”
Her colleagues on the study included American researchers associated with the University of North Carolina’s Department of Cell Biology and may be related to work funded by the US government.
It is possible, although we don’t know, that Dr Shi and her team successfully converted a coronavirus, specifically SARS-like virus SHCO14-CoV, from bats to other animals and not only mice. It is also possible, but not proven, that the new virus quickly spread to other animals and then to lab workers, three of whom became sick in November 2019, according to a recent Wall Street Journal report.
This is known as “gain of function” research, which is considered by the US to very dangerous. Between 2014 and 2017, gain of function research, which had been actively subsidized by The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other agencies, was suspended in the US.
Slightly later, in 2019, the US temporarily closed some laboratories, including the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland, over safety issues.

Mistakes and errors in labs
According to the CDC: “The two breaches [at Fort Detrick] reported by USAMRIID to the CDC demonstrated a failure of the Army laboratory to ‘implement and maintain containment procedures sufficient to contain select agents or toxins’ that were made by operations in biosafety Level 3 and 4 laboratories …”
Level 4 is, in theory, the most secure type of laboratory known today; China’s WIV is also a Level 4 lab. But not all the Wuhan laboratory followed Level 4 standards and there are, as Fort Detrick shows, lapses that need to be accounted for.
In fact, the same kind of lapses that happened at Fort Detrick, which centered on waste treatment, also happened at the Wuhan lab.
Furthermore, Fort Detrick was working with other American and foreign labs, which may have included Chinese facilities. For example, Fort Detrick was connected to Canada’s National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, which was thoroughly penetrated by the Chinese, including at least one known member of China’s biowarfare community.
According to Canada’s Globe and Mail newspaper: “One of the Chinese researchers, Feihu Yan, from the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Academy of Military Medical Sciences, worked for a period of time at the Winnipeg lab, a Level 4 facility equipped to handle some of the world’s deadliest diseases.”
There were at least seven Chinese scientists at the lab. Two of them, “Xiangguo Qiu and her biologist husband, Keding Cheng, were fired in January (2021) after the Canadian Security Intelligence Service … recommended that their security clearances be removed on national security grounds,” (allegedly for sending samples of deadly viruses to the Wuhan lab).
On at least one occasion, Qiu, and probably others, visited the Fort Detrick Laboratory. The details are not known, but it can be reasonably surmised that the Winnipeg Lab and Fort Detrick were cooperating, and this cooperation might have included Wuhan.

Was Canada a weak link?
Given Fort Detrick’s security level, further investigation is essential.
It also begs the question of Canada giving Chinese scientists, including at least one from the PLA’s Academy of Military Sciences, top secret clearances.
The US and Canada, as part of the North American Defense Sharing Agreement, share classified information, which means there is a strong possibility that some classified American information made its way to Winnipeg and then to Wuhan or elsewhere in China.
Not only does WIV need further investigation, but so do American institutions including the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the CDC and Fort Detrick.
In 2017 and 2018, the US did at least two inspections of the Wuhan Laboratory. That raises the question of why did a US inspection team gain entry multiple times to a sensitive Chinese laboratory?
The answer seems to be that the Americans had special status because of high-level, top-secret cooperation between the US, China and other partners (eg, Canada).
Top US infectious disease expert Dr Anthony Fauci has said it would have been “almost a dereliction of our duty” if the NIH had not worked with China to study coronaviruses and “collaborate” with “very respectable Chinese scientists.”
“Respectable scientists” working for the Chinese government. That’s another avenue for investigation.
International collaboration suggests the US may have halted gain of function research because it was easier and less politically risky to let China do it. China has lower legal standards – try litigating in China if you have any doubt – and, as Fauci said, the US government funded Chinese labs and happily published papers by Chinese scientists.
Those papers today give us a partial record of what the Chinese with the CDC and NIH – and perhaps even the US Army – were up to.

The CIA changes course
The US intelligence community had to know all of this, and a lot more.
But the CIA and other senior American officials, including James Clapper, the former Director of National Intelligence, insisted that Covid-19 did not come from the Wuhan Laboratory but was zoonotic, namely that it was transmitted in nature by animals.
Today the CIA appears to have tentatively reversed course as American scientists press for more information.
A proper investigation would have to ask why the US would trust China, knowing how sloppy the Chinese are about food and safety standards. The faulty ventilators, Covid-19 test kits and N-95 masks for physicians and health workers that were sent abroad by China after the outbreak of the epidemic illustrated this clearly for the world to see.
But beyond sloppiness, it seems the US decided to fund and shift dangerous research to Chinese labs run by the Chinese state. The Biden administration erred in closing the investigation and is right to have opened a new one.
Perhaps the readers of your China bashing text here will want to read the 29 reports of Yoichi Shimatsu about the origins of the “China Virus Corona” war, available at Rense.com.
In report #26,
https://rense.com/general96/barcelona-traces-cov-to-spring-2019.php
he rebuffs the “The Chinks did it, obviously – Wuhan is in China isn’t it, so who is responsible for the launching of the WUHAN-VIRUS??!!” with the information that ca 10 months before the “escape of the Wuhan Virus from Wuhan” travelling englishers from the Porton Down crime farm of Skripal fame left Porton Down viruses with their pee on holidays in Barcelona, which were recently found in archived sewage specimens. According not only to Shimatsu, the anglo-american world criminals tried to have, in Eric Berne speak, “a fast one on Chinkie”, but more than one year later the endless repetitions of the initial, long debunked lies are not so “fast” anymore.
Those in the know of everything could have done charitable info work explaining to the rest of us why the One World Criminal, America, had to scatter their war crime farms all over the world, and who has the saying there if not the Americans who payed for them, built them and own them (Wuhan Lab owned by Pfizer, if memory serves). If Yanks spread a deadly virus from a Yank lab, it is obviously a Yank virus, but even then it was not at all spread “from Wuhan to the rest of the world”, at least not by “escaping” the Yank lab guarded (or not) by its Yank owners and their/the Yank Gov’s employees. I remember an article by Larry Romanoff ca half a year ago (or more) where he showed convincingly that the Wuhan “Games” (and not the Yankee lab there) were used for spreading by the eternal angloamerican world criminals: the virus was spread among the participants of the “Games”, and they brought the disease home to their countries where different conditions facilitated the further spreading or not.
Ron Unz has (again) a current post about the origins of “the thingee”, with now ca. 1,000 comments, and for writing some lines I looked for this article by Larry Romanoff but could not find “his” article among the many stored there, got stuck in reading others…

NJ, Lodestar, be aware that there is a propaganda program running now to all-out blame China.
@Lodestar, I quote two paragraphs.
“A proper investigation would have to ask why the US would trust China, knowing how sloppy the Chinese are about food and safety standards. The faulty ventilators, Covid-19 test kits and N-95 masks for physicians and health workers that were sent abroad by China after the outbreak of the epidemic illustrated this clearly for the world to see.
But beyond sloppiness, it seems the US decided to fund and shift dangerous research to Chinese labs run by the Chinese state. ”
I think your description of sloppiness is not warranted. The Chinese explained all of those incidents very clearly and some of them were just nonsense. But of course, if you read only western media, you will not know it. A good comparison story will be to investigate the US test kits that they sold to usually the poorer countries and had to be tossed in the bin.
Just be aware – the US is trying to throw a few of their own actors under the bus, just in order to blame China.
Shifting ‘dangerous research’, or torture facilities, or other biolab facilities off-shore to avoid their own laws, is a sign of US actions.
Here is the opinion of an economist that I follow: “The acceleration of blaming China with respect to the virus is proportional to the financial and economic collapse of the west.
What west fails to understand is demonizing China won’t prevent its own collapse.”
The propaganda campaign is fueled in large part by the US need to divide China and Russia.
You used the word ‘propaganda’ which is information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view. The US will use whatever is out there, right or wrong, propaganda or not, you have only to look at the Belarus/Ryanair incident.
The post was about dividing Russia and China. I put ‘ifs’ in my remarks even questioning if anything that comes of this will be fair as an acknowledgement that the US will be once again selective as in Belarus. History tells me the US will use some or all of what was in that text as a means to their end irregardless.
Hi Cafeista’s
An extremely brave Northland based GP Damian Wojcik has spoken out against the NZ rollout of the dangerous Pfizer ‘vaccine’.
He also put forward the idea that Ivermectin should be used as the first line of defence to protect borders against import infection. This should be an absolute no-brainer as we have zero endemic presence in NZ and the Ivermectin protocol would be far more effective barrier than dodgy unproven ‘vaccines’. Nevertheless, full marks to Damian for pointing this out in complete defiance of the establishments entrenched narrative.
Of course, the same should also apply to incoming tourists as well…they should have to provide proof that they have had an oral treatment of IVM before they come anywhere near NZ.
It is extremely frustrating to see the snail pace traction of this information and to think that we have just one lone GP in NZ willing to stick his neck out above the parapets…particularly given the fact that I personally have been pushing for this IVM action for more than 14 months now!

Oh – we hear things a bit differently then :-) How about this one from Roberta Flack. Written by Scottish folk singer Ewan McColl, father of Kirsty.
https://youtu.be/oYEaxelb4lg
I do think the song above ( Fleming ) was spoiled by the key change / big finish – there was no need for that. I’m going to look up the film score and see if it was originally there. This is a device often used – I always think it ruins songs.
how about a little Celtic Women (women in dresses again :-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfwlj0gba_k
And Roberta Flack I’ve forgotten about .. thanks for the reminder.
sandinED, there is a similar key change here with the Celtic Women. But it is not as disturbing as the Fleming one. But yet, I heard it! I guess the human voices just cannot get to angelic levels – don’t get me wrong, I love the female vocalists – but sometimes, a damn key change is all that there is. I love Sarah Brightman for her classical training and yet as a true diva soprano, she could not make it.
Human voices can get pretty close to angelic. This is why Russian choral music is my favourite.

No she wouldn’t be a good opera singer – at least I don’t think so . But I like her, I was given an album of hers once and assumed I would hate it. I didn’t – I really liked it – including her version of Whiter Shade of Pale. I watched her in concert of recently and I did enjoy most of it – but she shouldn’t sing opera. Some people, though good singers, don’t have a voice for opera.
I heard Julie Andrews talking about this – she had considered opera but realised she didn’t have the right kind of voice for opera. I liked her for being honest about that.

Thanks for all the music’s, I will listen.
All of the sounds of nature are wonderful and absorbing too ! The cricket, fox, the nightingale, the lion, the wind in the trees (I knew someone who could identify the tree by the sound of the wind through its branches), nature speaks a language, and one can learn by practicing listening It is important for the environment, that we find, a selfless, living relation to it, and right now in time, urgent, the earth is crying out, literally.
My God mother, had a beautiful voice, and sang songs, unaccompanied, from around the world. It is a rare gift to have, simply to open the mouth, not even wide, and the tones, the music simply pours forth, sounds out, filling the room, or hall, strong or soft, without microphone, and unadulterated by training.
The man identifying the trees was blind, and did so once, while walking in the forest and countryside.

Tuppence, really beautiful comment. Thanks.
Poor woman,
she wrote Ball and Chain, which most know from Janis Joplin at Monterey, I think ( which is just a noise to me ), Mama’s own version was never released as far as I know. These two huge classic 60s songs – she has the definitive versions / wrote one of them – but very few have even heard of her. I don’t think she made much money either.
This song’s for brother Auslander:
https://youtu.be/AB8kyv0GWg8
Janis Joplin, just a noise? I have to protest! She was formative for me :-)
Oh Lord, won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
Well, I suppose she did sing that a bit better :-)
She always reminded me of someone drunk in the pub – imagining they could really sing – then sobering up the next day thinking, oh no what did I do !?!
I know a lot of people really like her – but I’ve never been able to hear it.
Janis had a great band behind her,was half the act and she could sing in a shouting singing good time way …..alas her voice is small compared to Big Mama Thornton and the feel from the players around her too, all good time playinnnn,,Big Mama’s music.

Stay well
Dalton used to do Me an’ Bobbie McGee as well, imho, as Janis. Can’t find example but ah seen er do it really good, glasses an all, an’ she’s little like Janis was. Withal> https://youtu.be/CaeGIuUTIec
Oh, she was drunk as a skunk. Something like a 5th of Southern Comfort before a performance. But an interesting story .. she wanted to sing, but could not. So worked for years to find a style that suited her. And she did become a part of the voice of a generation.
Having been reminded of Scott Walker, here’s a Norwegian, Suzanne Sundfors, singing one of his songs at the Proms. He did write very original songs – I like this one and I like her voice too.

The best comment below that video is:
One Truth
A doctor that hopes his medications never hurt anyone, and now claims, he is one of the good guys. Will wonders never cease? I have yet to encounter anyone that when confronted with the obvious, doesn’t proclaim coercion, or being hoodwinked as a defense. Same as “I was just following orders, defense” I didn’t go to medical school, but I can still add two and two and arrive at four as the true solution. WAKE UP, FEAR OF THE LONG DROP FOR HAVING PROMOTED a poison as a cure can never excuse what someone having taken an oath before the creator to do no harm has done in reality. He is not worthy in my books, of a get out of jail free card. No, worthy only of a warrant as a co-conspirator.
Obviously “Annonymous” you took a broadside.

“Widen your reading library so your rhetorical sophistry is effective.”
Exercise complete. The second best comment to the video was:
NHOJ
Whilst he is all in with the FAKE pandemic, at least he is willing to acknowledge that there were irregularities with the usual medical protocols.
He daren’t not cross the line too far, but at least he elicits obvious questions over the recklessness of the medical fraternity!
What seems to be happening now is that more information is being alliwed to seep out.
WHY?
Answer:-
The elites know they have the public totally indoctrinated with the Covid lie.
Furthermore, “they know” they have deeply implanted the Covid narrative into the minds of the trusting masses.
Their warped belief system, (due to the 24/7 media and government hysteria), will now consciously reject any/all contrary information which does not accord with their imbibed acceptance of this worlwide PSYOP!
The masses are no longer trusting of the media or the government.
The well paid “professional apparatniks” in academic education, in the media, in law enforcement and in the
judiciary have failed.
As you will be aware, the criminal class hiding under the “professional elite” mirage is somewhat alarmed.
The next global scare will be the threat from “outer space”
After that charade fails, all they have left is brute thuggery, or WW3.
“The well paid “professional apparatniks” in academic education, in the media, in law enforcement and in the
judiciary have failed.”
In reality, they are bang on target:

When the virus campaign is finished in 2025 this figure will be down to “Six million still resist vaccine”.

Could be “6 million already dead from vaccine”

I just watched the vid and found it fits the picture that I have seen develop this past year or more.
Peter McCullough clearly knows what he is talking about and without a cue sheet .
Did you by the way take the time to watch all of what he had to say?
The comment you posted is nowhere compared to what is covered in the video and is only a bullshit answer to a man who is in a serious battle with a concerted effort to force vaccines on all of us whether we like it or not.
That alone is Facist,the notion of forced vaccination,that is.
Undoubtedly there are many well meaning people working on vaccines as we speak and what Peter McCullough enunciates is the concerted effort to suppress existing effective treatments in favour of vaccines tested over a very short period of time.
I remind you that the government of France passed a law in January 2020 requiring previously available without prescription Hydroxy Chloroquine to be henceforth only available on prescription.
Conicidence or plan?
The fear porn continues. Now attempts to terrorise by the ” triple mutant ” variant. Sometimes I just have to laugh. If anyone asks about my vaccine status from now on I will ‘ self – identify ‘ as vaccinated. This isn’t even a joke as I consider my version of vaccination is more valid than their gene treatments :
– I take Vits D and C + multi vit / mineral
– I eat real food
– I get as much sunlight as I can
– I am not overweight / I exercise
– I think I may have had the ‘ thingie ‘ and recovered very quickly by using increased Vits C and D
So.
I think I may have had the ‘ thingie ‘
Why, on earth, would you think such a thing:

•Detection of viral RNA may not indicate the presence of infectious virus or that 2019-nCoV is the causative agent for clinical symptoms.
•The performance of this test has not been established for monitoring treatment of 2019-nCoV infection.
•The performance of this test has not been established for screening of blood or blood products for the presence of 2019-nCoV.
•This test cannot rule out diseases caused by other bacterial or viral pathogens.

no test involved
“no test involved”
So,you think you may have had covid.
Not flu (since, of course, it has disappeared entirely) nor any one of the multitude of ILI’s (Influenza Like Illnesses).
Ferguson’s medicine is a very strong psychological brew.

sorry I dont have time atm…
but imagine the divide and seperation or sorting-out here…

I can go on and on…
short ver – if one is up to the good practise in ‘prevention is better than cure’,
NATURAL body producing antibodies are WAY WAY WAY better than the fake vaxx!!! Period!!!
alrighty… me going back to the serious business of lockdown regime – over eating over sleeping and now a newcomer overplaying me candy crush!!!
ya’ll be good – keep up those self-saving health practice!
we’ll inherit the earth!!!! YaY!

Once the [Cabal-DeepState-Globalist-Dark Nobility] is defeated, and once the Satanic Yoke is lifted off the Americans, the much more benign organizing [nationalist] concept of “Offensive Realism” will be allowed to ascend. This is the Waltz-Mearsheimer school of internationalist thought. Currently, language itself is under Orwellian assault. The definition of “liberalism” has shifted darkly from the humanist “Age of Enlightenment” to the implicit illiberalism of Ikenberry’s Liberal Leviathan. The corporatist vision of endless rancor will eventually be studied in the CIA rollout of Twitter (enabling the Arab Spring) and [at the opposite pole] in the June 2020 publication of “The Real Lessons…of World War II by V. Putin.” The news is dead. You are your own editor. Individual views of reality emerge from slowly acquired collections of dots and the slow summing of pattern recognition as meanings are tried and discarded. Only Trump can prevent the ultimate vision of Hobbes. This is the descent of man into a state of nature where it becomes a war of all against all.
A very interesting, somewhat unusual comment, I am engaged in a selective intuition practice of the thinking of its author, to see if it leads to any known voice, or not.

If you want to follow the route of the two pipelaying ships:
Here you can follow Chersky : https://www.vesselfinder.com/ru/?imo=8770261 And here for Fortune: https://www.vesselfinder.com/ru/?imo=8674156
From an article posted in Kont:
https://cont.ws/@vv900535441/2004056
The situation with SP-2 as of May 31. Academician Chersky sets interim record
As of May 31, the construction of Nord Stream 2 continued without stopping. We were pleased with both Akademik Chersky and Fortuna, which will finish laying the first line of Nord Stream 2 in the coming days
But first things first
Let’s start with Fortune. We made the previous update on May 28. On the morning of that day, our barge had only 8,5 kilometers to go along the first line. At the same time, she accelerated the pace, overcoming, on average, more than one kilometer per day. This is possible because Fortune operates in shallow waters in German territorial waters. When Fortuna passed the area where Chersky is now located, its pace was 300-400 meters per day.
So, over the past three days, Fortune’s situation looked like this:
May 28: +1000 meters
May 29: +1150 meters
May 30: +750 meters
In total, in three days, Fortuna covered a total distance of 2.9 kilometers. Thus, the first line of the pipe-laying barge has only 5.6 kilometers to complete. Of course, this distance will be covered very soon. If there are no force majeure events, including weather conditions, then within a week Fortuna will complete the section. However, it will take a certain amount of time to connect the pipes. But that’s a different story altogether :)
Now we turn to Academician Chersky. It seems that the ship has solved all its technical problems. Recall that a few days ago, Chersky even had to go “back” on the second line, lifting previously laid pipes. Of course, this looked more than strange and suggested the most negative thoughts. However, for the third day in a row, Academician Chersky is moving forward, not just without slowing down, but also increasing the pace.
By day, the situation is as follows:
May 28: +500 meters
May 29: +600 meters
May 30: +700 meters
On May 30, Chersky set a record by covering a distance of 700 meters. He had never been able to maintain such a pace before. In general, Chersky is starting to reach the indicators that were expected of him. At such a depth, Fortune “trudged” at a speed of 300-400 meters per day, while Academician Chersky accelerates and, no doubt, will reach indicators above one kilometer per day. And in shallow water, its speed, and at all, can reach two kilometers per day.
In total, Academician Chersky covered 1.8 kilometers in three days. The total distance traveled along the second line of the pipeline is about 9 kilometers out of the required 85 kilometers. In general, there is still a very significant amount of work to be done here.
Now about the external background. Joe Biden is ready to make concessions to Russia on the sanctions story (which also includes Nord Stream 2), as well as on the Donbass and Belarus. In return, Washington expects Moscow to support the “green” agenda, including through the possibility of influencing the policies of Russian companies in the oil and gas sector, as well as the almost inexhaustible resource of our taiga (carbon quotas).
At the same time, if negotiations on the “Big Deal” fail, then Nord Stream 2 will be put under pressure during pipeline certification. Given the fact that certification and commissioning take approximately 2-3 months, the start of operation of Nord Stream 2 may indeed be delayed. But we certainly believe in the best.

Prankster fools Dutch parliament.
It seems a prankster fooled dutch patliament into believing he was Navalny’s ‘chief of staff’ .
Appeared in bathrobe and talked for 23m(!) with his answers becoming more ludicrous ending finaly with him introducing Navalnys successor. If you cant watch thd shole thing, watch the final 3m.
Hilarious

Hilarious indeed! And embarrassing for the Dutch: read their stress fractures in the comments
I put this in the category of gallows humour, since this prank clearly illustrates the ease of duping the very people who changed laws and regulations around the Covid/injections/Great Reset ambitions.
Thank You for posting
