exhibit k for kenya
—————————-
the sheeples, especially aficionados of that murkkan election circus were ecstatic when obama got into the wh. many thumb their collective nose at beijing/moscow, *when’ll china/russia get a minority for prez ??* they sneered.
meanwhile africa was enchanted , kenyans were so proud that a *son of kenya* has become *the most powerful man on earth* !
hardly did they know that this *son of kenya* was the zwo’s *manchurian candidate* to sell the toxic *washington consensus* to the *dark continent*, to screw africans without they even realised they were being *penetrated* !
what a wonderful job obama did, the first potus who came to the wh already with a *regime change* under his belt and lots of blood on his hand !
a nobel *peace* laureate, no less !
hehehehe
how the *son of africa* did kenya ….the indonesia 1965 *template*.
——————————————————————————————-
barack Obama and his family, accompanied by a press officer (Robert Gibbs) and a political and military advisor (Mark Lippert), arrived in Nairobi on a special plane chartered by Congress. Their plane was followed by a second one, chartered by the U.S. Army and carrying a team of specialists in psychological warfare led by the supposedly retired General J. Scott Gration. Kenya was then experiencing a booming economy. Since the beginning of the presidency of Mwai Kibaki, the growth rate had increased from 3.9 to 7.1% of GDP and poverty had declined from 56 to 46%. These exceptional results were achieved by reducing economic ties with post-colonial Anglo-Saxon partners and replacing them with more equitable agreements with China. To put an end to the Kenyan miracle, Washington and London decided to topple President Kibaki and impose a devoted opportunist: Raila Odinga [3].
………………………..
Senator Obama was greeted like a native son and his journey was hyper-publicized. He interfered in local politics and participated in Raila Odinga meetings. He called for a “democratic revolution” and his “companion”, General Gration, gave Odinga one million dollars in cash. These actions destabilized the country and raised official protests from Nairobi to Washington.
Following this tour, Obama and Gen. Gration reported to General James Jones (then head of the European Command and NATO Supreme Commander) in Stuttgart before returning to the United States.
The operation continued. Madeleine Albright, as NDI President (the branch of the National Endowment for Democracy [4] that specializes in handling left-wing parties) travelled to Nairobi, where she oversaw the organization of the Orange Movement. Then John McCain, as chairman of the IRI (the branch of the National Endowment for Democracy that specializes in handling right-wing parties) complemented the opposition coalition in dealing with small right-wing organizations [5].
During the parliamentary elections of December 2007, a survey funded by USAID announces the victory of Odinga. On election day, John McCain announced that President Kibaki rigged the election in favor of his party and that in fact the opposition led by Odinga had won.
The NSA, in conjunction with local phone operators, sent anonymous text messages to the population. In areas populated by the Luo (Odinga’s ethnic group), they read “Dear Kenyans, the Kikuyu have stolen our children’s future… We must treat them in the only way that they understand… with violence.” In areas populated by Kikuyu, they read:
“The blood of any innocent Kikuyu will be paid. We will slaughter them right to the heart of the capital. For Justice, establish a list of Luos that you know. We will send you the phone numbers to call with such information.” Within days, this peaceful country sank into sectarian violence. The riots caused over 1 000 deaths and 300 000 displaced. 500 000 jobs were lost.
rings a bell, the idonesia 1965 *template* which was also used in chile, venezuela etc etc ?
……………………………………
. Compelled to accept the compromises forced on him in order to restore civil peace, President Kibaki agreed to create a prime minister post and to entrust it to Raila Odinga, who immediately began reducing trade with China.

Persian Gulf states declare Hezbollah a terrorist organisation.
“Hezbollah denounces Riad´s new psychological war against Lebanon”
http://hispantv.com/newsdetail/el-libano/217054/hezbollah-denuncia-guerra-psicologica-arabia-saudita
“Hasan Nasrolá during a televised speech broadcasted on Tuesday by the Lebanese channel Al-Manar, has stressed that Saudi Arabia seeks to create a confrontation between Shia and Sunni Muslims in Lebanon and has described as “a great threat” division among Muslims .
“Following the suspension of military aid to Lebanon (by Riyadh), has triggered a wave of political attacks and propaganda campaigns against the country, orchestrated largely by Saudi Arabia and some PersianGulf countries” denounces the secretary general of the Islamic Resistance Movement in Lebanon (Hezbollah), Seyed Hasan Nasrolá.
It has also called on the Lebanese nation to not let be intimidated by the threats of the enemies of the Resistance, especially Riyadh and the Israeli regime, who, in his opinion, they try to trigger fear in the Lebanese people by false rumors.
In this context, Nasrolá explains that the false propaganda that appears in the virtual world harms the unity among Muslims and benefits the interests of these two regimes.(….)
(…) Statements by Hasan Nasrolá occur after hundreds of people came out to the streets on Saturday in several Lebanese cities to repudiate the offense against his person from the telecommunications company UAE-Saudi MBC, which on Friday issued a humorous clip mocking the Secretary general of Hezbollah.
However, the Hezbollah leader has told young people not to take to the streets, as the Saudi measure does not deserve an answer. “The people do not have to react in a way that serves the interests of the enemies of the country”, he said(…).
The Story of Evil: from Common Man to Con-Man
Once upon a time we were commoners all. We held all things in common, including sex and love.
After about 25,000 years of joy, bliss and ecstasy, con-men arose who loved power more. They were the first liars who said there was a better way, and they were the only ones who had this knowledge.
The commoners began to fall for the lies and to revere the con-men for which the con-men received many nice perks. However, they still felt cheated of the power they sought.
Then they discovered the killers. The con-man told the killer that killing was only wrong in certain situations which did no longer obtain. The killers became believers and started out killing animals and progressed to killing women and other men.
The con-men felt the increased power and made the killers kings and the women sex things. However the con-man was still tormented by his perceived lack of power.
Then in the middle of the ages came along the traders who spanned the trade routes with all kinds of goods. The traders made a great discovery. They could trade money and make money with the commoners’ money.
The traders consulted the con-man as everyone else did. The con-men saw an opportunity and whispered “the secret” in the killer-king’s ear. And then make a deal with the traders.
So the Khazars and the Kings made a deal acceptable to the Con-man.
It’s gotten much more convoluted but today we still have Con-man now known as shaman, priest, minister, mullah, rabbi, therapist and scientist. All those higher-ups who have knowledge the commoner does not.
The killers have morphed into kings, queens, businessmen, politicians, academics, presidents and a slew of other covers of innocent romance
The Khazars have managed to remain invisible under their banker cover.
The moral is that we have gone from Commoner to Killer to King to Khazar in a mere 75,000 years.
The Anglos are still kings. The Khazars have become Zionist bankers who hire killers for kings. Commoners have become co-dependents with Empire. And the Con-men scientists (knowers) pull everyone’s ropes…well, except those recalcitrant Russians who somehow escaped the killer’s noose thanks to that commoner Putin, for the time being.
King-Khazars have become Anglo-Zionists. And commoners have become voters.
I’d tell more but at a cafe like this there are ladies present and good digestion is the greatest good. Besides the Con-Man is now reading minds as well as operating on them so I best mind my manners.
I’ll be punished for speaking out of turn as it is. So far I’ve been able to run the gauntlet of blowback and come out alive at the other side. But that doesn’t make the shame, pain and terror any less.
If anyone asks, just say I heard this on a vineyard grapevine and haven’t been seen here since 1939.
Dennis! Welcome back, brother. And thanks for giving me a name!
I read all your posts at the Cafe Flore this week. The only real quibble I have is with the idea of the “Good Old Days” 25,000 years ago. I am not so sure competing with the large mammals of the late Pleistocene http://extinct-animals-facts.com/Extinct-Prehistoric-Animal-Facts/Saber-Tooth-Tiger-Facts.shtml was such a Garden of Eden or bowl of cherries. !?
Hey, I got 3 whole long verses of Dylan onto my comment on this post: /is-there-a-crack-in-the-dam-holding-back-the-truth-on-syria/ a few days ago. 16th Comment.
But I began with how much I miss you.
Moderator suggested I post on the Movable Feast, but I am still reading up on my numerology before I make another attempt. Man is the Bible chalk full of numbers! I couldn’t believe it!! (the second essay in Silent Poetry, Essays in Numerological Analysis by Alistair Fowler……..) The Good Book seems to have been constructed as one big mathematical proof! Quod Erat Demonstrandum. The less numerologically inclined than those master scribes of old had no chance.
Now I am getting paranoid about Freemasons in Russia. Surely there must be some Light Ones (as opposed to the Dark Manipulators) who know about the facts my Ciiff Notes version covered? Where are they? Where are they hiding? Truth must be spoken about our Loveless, And Infinitely Careless ruling psychopathic controllers!
A quick search only revealed a reference in War and Peace to Pierre’s encounter with a Brother of that Order. In the west we had Mozart and the Founders, at least some of whom were of the Light variety< ia m somewhat persuaded. What's the deal in Russia?
Anyone recommend something better on the subject than http://freemasonsfordummies.blogspot.com/2006/09/great-architect-and-war-peace.html Anything available in English for "Not SO" Dummies??

Wow never expected the Chinese to stoop so low…an article in GlobalTimes.cn:
Kremlin faces dilemma over future of Assad
…
The Syrian civil war began with the conflicts between government forces and opposition factions in early 2011. The conflicts, which were just demonstrations initially, soon escalated into armed clashes. Following interventions from major powers, for instance, the US, the EU, Russia, Iran, Turkey and Saudi Arabia, the civil war has incessantly grown bitter. Each armed faction has gained control of some areas. Divided by the Islamic State (IS), the Bashar al-Assad regime(!) and opposition forces, Syria today is a highly fragmented nation.
…
There is no urgent need for the Kremlin to intervene in the Syrian crisis, which does not relate to Moscow’s core interests. By stepping into the crisis, the Kremlin aimed to back up the Assad regime and uphold his authority in Syrian affairs.
…
The West has been sharply criticizing Russia for deliberately targeting the Syrian opposition factions. The opposition has suffered greatly from months of air raids. A truce deal is a must for opposition forces, which need time to recover.
However, the warring parties have to lodge applications to Russia as a precondition of cease-fire. This means they have to acknowledge the legitimacy of the Assad regime before taking part in future international negotiations.
…
Russia will not easily give up its achievements in Syria. However, given its limited strength, the Kremlin can hardly be as hardline as before. If regime change is unavoidable in Syria, it would be best for Russia if Assad’s successor comes from the current government.
Read the whole thing:
http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/971556.shtml
I guess it could be worse…I mean the Chinese could call the Russian Government ‘The Putin Regime’…They need to remember though – it was them who were robbed and humiliated by the west in the Opium Wars…the Russians never lost to the west (not counting the cold war, that is).
Guess for some it’s pretty hard to learn.
Probably just another Murderoch sleazy rag, like his others.
U do know that up until about 2 years ago, he had a Chinese wife?
*the chinese stoop so low* cuz someone wrote a fluff piece in the global times , really ?
when i read some bs about china in russian media i put it down to some ignoramous or moron or even zwo asset, i dont blame *the russians* !
but for indian media, bs is across the board 24×7, nothing accidental !
e.g.
everbody knows cia/raw *liquidated* nepalese king birendra’s entire family but you accused china of the crime !
bharat sponsored maoists toppled the nepalese mornarchy,
cia asset dalai lama has been engaging in anti chinese destabilisations abetted by delhi,
but indians keep whinning about *chinese/nepalese funded indian maoists* …with zero proof !
*until this day indians are still bitching about the 1962 *chinese invasion* when everybody knows its the other way round !
*every other day indian media scream *chinese intrusions* at the border yet even the pro delhi bbc rag sniff at the nonsense !
this are just the tip of an iceberg but suffice to say that when it comes to robber crying robbery
u chaps could teach fukus a thing or two, !
p.s.
for some reasons best known to themselves, indians just loathes their chinese neighbours but…
it doesnt stop them falling over themselves wooing those lowly chinese monies !
hehehehe
http://www.globaltimes.cn/daily-specials/Modi-visits-China/Modi-visits-China.html
p.s.
that chinese dude prolly doesnt even know whats a *regime*, merely copy and pasting from some reuters outlet.
its well known that ch and jp english sulk big time, unlike indians who had the fortune to be ruled by\ the brits for centuries , lucky u ! ;-)
k
in case u havent noticed old chap, china has come a loooong way since the opium genocide.
its now standing on its own two feet and even spooking your masters in washington/london !
not everybody could claim that *honor* sitting at the top of murkka’s official enemy list mind u !
certainly not bharat for example, who seems destined to be the whitemen’s
best buddycomprador.india was the brits satrap in the rape of beijing,
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/Troops_of_the_Eight_nations_alliance_1900.jpg
in 1962 nehru was initially not keen on poking the dragon , but after had his pep talk in washington with his master, he turned hawkish and ratched up the provocation at the border.
the rest is history.
trouble is indians never learned from that self inflicted humuliation, they keep dreaming on *getting even*
with china, even tho the chinese voluntarily pull back their force after routing the intruders, never taking an inch of the disputed land, the pla could’ve rode right up to delhi if they wanted to !
until this day indians still havent outgrown their slave mentality, they’d rather (removed for language.Mod. on duty) than making nice with their immediate neighbors., just like their jp soul mates !
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2015/09/05/indi-s05.html
once a slave, always a slave…..
p.s.
courting chinese monies while screwing china at every turn surely is the highest form of duplicity !
hehehehe
p.s.
the above also from me.
even tho the chinese voluntarily pull back their force after routing the intruders, never taking an inch of the disputed land, the pla could’ve rode right up to delhi if they wanted to !
I think that says it all about that post..
anon,
*I think that says it all about that post..*
neville maxwell, [india’s china war]
* Reflecting on the conflict, the then under secretary to the British Foreign Office, Lord Caccia, commented in 1966 (not without a tinge of grudging admiration) that, “The Chinese withdrawal to their original line after a victory in the field was the first time in recorded history that a great power has not exploited military success by demanding something more” *
. A magnificent piece of diplomacy by any standard, which sadly is not reciprocated. *
that was known fifty yrs ago forchrissake !
After the private and discreet funeral for the death of Comrade Yevgeny Primakov last year (apparently he went as quietly as he lived and worked for Russia), Comrade President Putin seems to have wanted to give a special mention and a tribute at the opening the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Congress:
http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/51413
“(…) I would like to note that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a reliable partner of the state in resolving significant social and economic matters. Here I would like to recall a remarkable man who headed the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Russia for 10 years – Yevgeny Primakov. For the first time in many years, this Congress is taking place without him.
He was an outstanding scholar, diplomat, state and public figure and a wise politician who placed national interests above everything else and was able to look years ahead. Yevgeny Primakov helped establish partnerships between the business circles of Russia and other countries around the world and he did a great deal to make the Chamber of Commerce and Industry an influential association focussed on improving conditions for doing business.(…)”
Whilst at the personal level, I am happy, and feel lucky, because I have managed to get old, and am still healthy, and have a lovely wife and family, I cry for the future for my children and grandchildren.
I feel that Western Civilization has been deliberately set up to fail.
Look at what purports to be an election in the USA.
Its beyond dumber vs dumber
Its now evil 1 vs evil 2
I won’t bore you with my own frustrations today, trying to do something that would have taken less than 5 minutes only a few years ago – but the loss of trust and honesty, and completely ridiculous bureaucracy reminds me of a book I am reading – “Scum of the Earth” – Paris 1939 (thanks for the tip whoever it was on here – its really heavy)..
There are numerous sources I could quote – re how we are all slowly being driven mad – but I will just post a link to someone who can write exceedingly eloquently. He was born near me in Manchester, England – a few years older – and I feel much the same way.
And no one has any solutions

Thanks for the thought provoking comment.
“Magical thinking…objective evidence…belief…people ascribing meaning…idolatry…occult.”
If people ascribe meaning to a symbol then people are the power behind that symbol.
Scientists start with a belief in science.
Magical thinking is an emotion word, useless; designed to denigrate thinking outside the politically correct box. As in all things, there are abuses; that is well understood.
Objective evidence is another emotional attempt by the scientific priests [emotion for emotion] to deny validity to those outside their domain. Individual experience and observation is the ultimate objective evidence which quantum physics is being driven to admit despite its prejudices and business connections.
Idolatry is worship of an idol. An idol is a symbol. If I worship the symbol I am a fool. If I worship at all I am a fool being conned. Worship is a type of war-ship that sails on the sea of slavery.
Occult simply means hidden. Theoretical scientists seek out hidden meanings with mathematics and therefore qualify as occultists. In an information war, scientists need an enemy and so turn words into weapons.
Time and space limitations of writing make me appear conceited and contradictory in a virtual cafe. If it were a real one we could have a relaxed conversation over these matters for days on end. Well, actually if we follow where quantology is leading we are doing it already.
Don’t get me wrong. I love science in its root meaning of knowledge. But a little knowledge is a dangerous thing because knowledge is power. In the middle ages they debated which was greater: knowledge or love? Paul and anyone with an ounce of knowledge knows that knowledge is less than an atom in love’s body. The tragedy of our time is that we have that relationship reversed and therefore suffer the consequences.
The waitress just brought my soup and cereal. If there were something worthy of worship it would be the ancestress of that waitress. Time to eat; other matters must retreat.
Moonofalabama has good discussion today MAR 2 about possibility that Mr. Ed’s Plan B is LeBanon.
In comments this very interesting linked story, quite new, based on leaked cable 2008.
The Yemen pipeline dream
But there’s a parallel sub-goal here, acknowledged in private by Western officials, but not discussed in public: Yemen has as yet untapped potential to provide an alternative set of oil and gas trans-shipment routes for the export of Saudi oil, bypassing Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
The reality of the kingdom’s ambitions in this regard are laid bare in a secret 2008 State Department cable obtained by Wikileaks, from the US embassy in Yemen to the Secretary of State.
Indeed, Yemen’s eastern governorate of Hadramaut has remained curiously free from Saudi bombardment. The province, Yemen’s largest, contains the bulk of Yemen’s remaining oil and gas resources.:

https://briefwit.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/yemen-map.jpg
Indeed, is there not an Israeli base in Djibouti for this purpose ( since feudal dictatorship of Saudi Arabia has been proved a good ally of Israel ) to protect shipement of oil to Europe and guarantee a puppet government in Yemen?
But at the same time:

@ Denise O’Leary 2/28 1:07 pm @ US tell Russia to put up or shut up
Your name caught my heart, Denise being the name of my inner anima and O’Leary meaning Of Leary.
Your quote from Maria Zakharova is brilliant. How I love that woman. If I were Aleksandr Vladimiravich Zakharchenko I would try to sweep her off her feet with my exploits and persuade her to be half of the Zakharova Zakharchenko divine couple. After I got up off the floor I’d have to deal with the jealousy of my anima besides my black eye.
Your link to the video of Amy Winehouse and Mick the Dagger was another divine couple song and dance that caught my heart in two.
I’m letting my teen get free this am in our vineyard cafe but tomorrow there may be hell to pay from my inner judge, jury and generalissimo. How long can a respectable cafe tolerate such behavior? Oh, Mama, please don’t tell Dad. I’ll never talk like that again (while I think “until next time”). In the morning it’ll be “it’s all over now Baby Blue.” I’ll be crying and dying then but now I’m flying not minding the fall to come.
Oh, one more thing before I disappear. That poem you wroted or quoted was exquisite; reminds me that I’m a wordsmith by trade and copyist by grade. I’m beginning to hate myself; time to go.
Oh, Love, will you be here tonight?
Here is a very telling quote from an article carried in todays Sputnik International :
“Since 2001 Americans have spent $10.5 million every hour for numerous foreign military occupations, including in Iraq and Afghanistan. There’s also the $2.2 million spent every hour on maintaining the United States’ nuclear stockpile, and the $35,000 spent every hour to produce and maintain our collection of Tomahawk missiles,” the author emphasizes.
Not only are they squeezing their own taxpayers to fund their overbloated military, but they are also squeezing the taxpayers in their “allied” nations too to meet up with the 2% of GDP NATO spending requirement. Greed gone mad.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has called on prosecutors to take action against pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) Co-chair Selahattin Demirtaş, over his call for people to march to Diyarbakır’s Sur district, which has been a flashpoint of conflict between security forces and the terrorist Kurdistan Worker’s Party (PKK).
“I think prosecutors have to fulfill their duties because nobody has the right to create chaos and disturb the peace in my country,” Erdoğan said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari in Nigeria on Wednesday.
I transplanted an avocado tree, watered a few pots, picked lettuce and with an orange already picked ate my barley salad. I’m tired but my mind’s on fire.
I visited the Capitalism Requires World War thread. Where does Saker get these gems?
I read Margorie Kelly’s Divine Right of Capital years ago so I was piqued by another child of the sod who is into Capitalism teaching in China, and of an ex-monk father.
I tried but failed. Maybe it was the 113 comments or the surreal experience of reading in stereo. Some of the words made sense but on the whole it was greek gobbledygook to me.
I began to notice the names like the misty Cathal Haughian and Purple Mountain Guy who I never dreamed from the name was an economist; and decor and fragrance in this Cafe De Flore. I was so far off topic that I came here to recover my balance where off topic is on topic.
Cathal knows the bible. I know a few verses like Jesus kicking ass in the temple over money-changing and a dozen or so anti-capitalism rants. An economisty he was not nor am I. My brain goes misty when the spin begins. I admire Cathal and am tempted to take what he says on faith but have taken that train to nowhere before.
Money is fine. I use it all the time. But when it can’t talk in plain English and is tied to the tail of interest, I’m not interested even if I could understand it and make a billion bucks.
Like Cathal’s father, I was a monk. I made such an impression on my son that he won’t touch religion with a ten foot pole. He became a deep sea diver to try out a different world. He’s an extreme scientist but he should get over that. I’m a scientist of love but I should get over that and into the fun of love before I die of scientific obfuscation. My son will discover love under the detritus like me if he’s a chip off the old block. With parents like us I think he’ll check into different stock. In other words, I’m really proud of my son for not taking after his dad, although who knows where the shore ends and the sea begins, or where the father ends and the son begins.
You can have capitalism with all its evil good. I’ll take communalism with all its sexy wood.
Providing you maintain your heart, love and humanity,i t doesn’t matter if you die in a lonely prison cell after being tortured to tell the love and the truth as best as you can do. They may not have heard – but that is the best that you can do.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘to blame’ for Giant Hogweed invading UK
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin is to blame for the spread of the toxic Giant Hogweed plant in the UK, it has been claimed.

Russian atheist faces year in jail for denying existence of God during webchat.
Quoting Terry: “Tell the truth, go to jail. Maybe. The court hasn’t ruled on it yet”
Why does the guy have to go on ‘trial’ because of this sort of thing on the first place? Then again… this is from the hyper russophobe Guardian.. so who knows if this is even true at all.
If anything, it reminds me of this story… [only this one is actually true]
Saudi court sentences a man to 2,000 lashes and 10 years in jail for denying the existence of God and ridiculing the Qu’ran on Twitter

-TL2Q
The US has gone “totally” insane. And it may take a war to bring them back to sanity. They have done some stupid things lately (and for years). But today’s stupidity takes a prize. Here is a headline on RT ” US House panel wants to try Assad, Russia, Iran for ‘war crimes’ in Syria.” Those braindead morons in Washington are threatening to “dare” to “attempt” to bring Russian government officials to a war crimes trial.The lunacy of that beggars the imagination. And Russia “must” not ignore that stupidity. They seem to think they are the “Gods of the earth”. And they need to be shown they are not,once and for all time.

“The US has gone “totally” insane”.
Yes they have, no question about that, the same sort of insanity that befell Hitler.
“Those braindead morons in Washington……………”.
They are not brain dead, don’t ever make that mistake, they are evil. Yes they are incredibly stupid but not in the way you are implying. They are following a script is all. The same Orwellian script they have been following for years where day becomes night, black becomes white and the victim gets blamed for what the aggressors are themselves doing. I call it the Goebbels script because these psychopaths are following Hitlers propaganda ministers methods to a T.
I am with know the truth on this one, like I always mention, you don’t get to be emperor by being stupid and when the emperor flaunts his manhood and goes around naked, he is showing his subjects that they live under his power. Those who laugh at his small wiener gets a first class one way ticket to gitmo. The rest he knows will fall in line and only see what he wants them to see. And its a lot of people that’s willing to see the emperor’s new cloths and it is depressing to watch this fiasco in motion. I think he is right, when he said the culture and society can not accept that they are responsible for the almost extinction of the native americans hence they live in a bubble and this bubble can be moved along to new paradigms of Exceptionalism. Chomsey must know more about the people he spent his entire life around and taught. But I think it don’t take much to break out of the bubble.. But you must deal with the pain of it. Very few are willing..

This is the best analysis of the psyche of the American people and I chuckled throughout it. It takes someone standing outside looking in sometimes to be the real mirror.

Google CEO and The Pentagon

Where will this lead……….
Are you implying google is somehow different than the pentagon? do no evil is only a slogan to leech of the idiots. Many of these companies are controlled by the military industrial complex. If they were not part of the imperial project they would never get to be so big or successful. Like the big hoopla about apple not giving the government a back door, that’s all just fake propaganda. The reason all this mega huge companies pay very little tax is because they ARE part of the government. We really need to move away from these companies but now everything is controlled by them, apple and android are both to buy on us and hence also why they took out blackberry and nokia. Cant control foreign countries as easily or ask them to add in back doors to spy on people at home. But they still do and try by the numerous examples.
An opinion piece in the Guardian that made me double check the site in case it was the offguardian site.
An article in Guardian calling the US propaganda on Mosul dam collapsing for what it is. Propaganda.
Even Sputnik goes along with the US meme.

Dear Saker –
Thank you so much for providing these open threads where one can ask questions, express concerns etc.
So, maybe someone can answer this: I have tried numerous times to print a copy of that recent NYT article (parts 1 & 2) about Hillary’s part in the Libyan fiasco, so I can read it while I’m out and about. No, I don’t own a tablet. Guess I’m going to have to break down and buy one.
Anyway, when I try to print the above, all I get is blank pages with some sort of ‘smudges’ on them. My printer works fine, otherwise. I’m thinking that NYT articles (printed) are behind some sort of paywall? Any ideas from someone? Thanks.
Can’t help as to why NYT wont print, but take a screenshot and print the screenshot.
