Moveable Feast Cafe 2016/10/14 … Open Thread

echoing mods appreciation in last cafe of Mundo’s and Dennis’s contributions to this website ……………..just wonderin if there when someone puts up a poem and can add a hash or other ‘code” as a tag, so it is automatically sent to public poem folder of sorts…………??????
But a lot of prose is poetic too…………………..hhmmmm

who is that with debonair air
standing so still behind the chair
mesmerised are his eyes
upon a girl without guise

no one sees him at all
so transfixed and tall
who is she – will she be true
is she the one made for you

it is your enemy you see
as you stand lost in reverie –
the one hiding the gun
that’ll ruin all your fun

who sees destinies secret
has no more need to fret
life itself’s the guiding star
that is calling from afar

It looks like the US, Saudi ect are moving the remaining ISIS forces in Iraq to Syria to put more pressure on the Syrian government and Russia. Moon of A, Elijah J. Magnier, and now South Front.
8-9000 fighters to reinforce the headchopper offensives against Deir Ezzor and perhaps Palmyra.

This vineyard is not only fascinating me but fastening me to its mast as it hurls itself into the perfect storm where angels fear to spread their wings. What can I do but hang on for dear life?

I woke unusually early not long after the roosters began crowing about the quality of chicken feed. The night was unusual too insofar as I had a clear view of the nearly full moon from my outdoor bed through the yard square open space left by my doorway tarp. My lover moon night star and all her bigger sister stars gave me some practical advice on how to better manage my health for which I am grateful.

I came directly here to my laptop which is secured by duct tape to my motorhome table due to a loose connection at cable to port. It was still pitch black except for the star field overhead which shone brightly all by itself since the moon went to bed over the western horizon. See what I mean by fastened to a mast.

I assume that Count Con and his crew are equally fascinated by this site for the same reason I am fascinated by him and his consorts: “hold your enemy close.” He needs to know his enemy and me personally. I feel the same; using my real name so he can more easily contact me when the time is ripe. He could destroy me and this site but he doesn’t because he needs to know what we know.

There’s a game of cat and mouse going on. Destroy the mouse too soon and the game is up. What the Count and Madam Z don’t know is what I know, just as I don’t know what they know or am pretending not to know. So as the Saker says: it’s 80% information. Consider your sources. I pretty much know who the Count’s sources are but I doubt you, Count, know who my sources are. You could torture me I suppose to tell you, except that I am telling you and everyone else quite openly here. Can you hear? It’s all about the Love Bower, the Love Government and the Love Army. Do you understand that the operative word is love? Even if you torture me, I can’t tell you more than that; if you want more information it’s all in an open and public source at my website.

I am much appreciative for the link to Bob Dylan’s real link to the Rolling Stones by Miles Mathis put up by Anonymous at 10:12 am. I love Bob and so it reflects directly upon me. Am I a hologram of the programmers? No, I am not except in the general way that we are all manipulated by the masters of intelligence. I have long recognized that Bob is looking more and more like a mask as he ages and it’s a very disturbed mask at that. His acceptance of the freedom medal from Obama was disturbing to me but I thought he outplayed them by wearing sunglasses and remaining silent.

Bob gave the game away with “Neighborhood Bully.” I give the game away with the Love Army but who takes it seriously? We’re playing a game of multi-dimensional chess. I suppose we can do what Putin complained about: the pidgeon who shits on the board, knocks all the pieces over and declares he won. It can be done that way but neither the Count, Putin or I want that. The game is too interesting and the stakes too rewarding to take the easy way out.

The sun is up so I just turned off my measly little table light. When the daystar shines the stars pine away with drowsiness, and the blue mantle of skyshine is thrown over the chilled body of earth. The game is always the same but it might be up on another level. The game is love and war but in that store are all the receipts and rejects of the universe are waiting to be bought and sold or simply adored.

The Counter of Money and Power probably won’t destroy his vineyard because it’s too much a microcosm of emerging information, this place being a Jungian symbol of depth in a debt-house of uncertainty. Information itself is a stalking horse for something else, and it’s that something else that sticks it’s finger into the American pie of chickens in every pothead.

Sorry, I said I’d try to be more reasonable than rhetorical. Too much Dylan I suppose. I’ve had the sense that Dylan is the key to the door of evil’s jealously of good. Like Joseph Atwill’s Caesar’s Messiah and Shakespeare’s Messiah. As Bro’s 93rd article nailed to the church’s graveyard door suggested: look into evil but outplay it.

Love is reasonable but war is not. Saint John was reasonable when he changed the God game to the Love game with his “God is Love” meme. So Dylan is an agent of the Great Change Game. So what if rolling stone change equates to money change? Change is inevitable. “I Feel a Change Coming On” won some kind of award, and now Zimmerman Robert gets the noble nobel of nobility. So what’s next? It’s all about context.

When I get that love is the over-all context, everything else falls into place, even pidgeons on a chess board. I know you don’t get that yet, Count, but you will if your NSA keeps giving you wineyard charms. So we go into your circular file only to come back to you again. I love you, I really do, do what you can.

The long and short of it is in the world of power, is to sell high and buy low. The empire on paper is at an all time high so the smart players are selling fast. They want their war to lay the world low so they can buy it on the cheap and start the cycle again. Dylan wrote all about this merry-go-round of love and war and sung it to boot. So what if the master’s of war used him or he used them; it’s them there words that count. They could be projections of the war within the masters themselves, archetypes of the unconscious.

Mr. Miles Mathis misses the point because he is being played himself, just on another level. This vineyard is being played yet on another level. The point is to be a player rather someone else’s pet piece proxy played-with player. I want to play on the grandest level possible to a human in these dense circumstances.

Allow me to conclude with a reasonable poem from the Love Army’s commander in chief, the Love Bower within the Love Government within the vineyard within the cafe, like some Russian matryoska doll. It is entitled “Prelude,” and is an honest to love prelude in a manuscript propped up at the right side of this writing machine. In other words, it comes from me to you via a virtual cyberism from flesh and blood and bone to you in your down to earth floored and ceilinged room, unless you’re on the road again with Brother Bro in his 93 Ford from Winslow, Arizona.

Prelude

Gaming is gamboling about
Frolicking, jumping for joy
Enjoying and amusing oneself
In a gambit of chance
The game ball, going to and fro
Back and forth, up and down
Will it go in or stay out
Hit or miss, win or lose
A bouncing ball gambling
On a roulette wheel of possibilities
The tighter the tension
And evener the odds
The sweeter the play
All the world’s a gameboard
For high and low rollers
The king is with the queen
The jack is in the box
I’m right on edge
Following a fine line
The only way I’ll ever win
Is to go on in, sink or swim

Do you get that yet, Count? Just a friendly 21 line by poetic license gun salute over your bow. When you get it, give me a toot.

(First attempt at verse – tale from today…)

Blizzard rainfall drenches, outside,
While indoors, warm bubbles rise
From the radiator’s fiery head,
Like those pockets, yeast-fed,
Sandwiched within baking bread.

A 30 flea eruption
Exasperates the cat, causes pain,
From the coastal blizzard rain
Which sent a voluminous warm-air train
Riding roughly, right on through,
Plush, furry layers of dew,
To arrive at the flesh of the matter,
Which is flea eggs, growing rapidly fatter.

Who knew?

When the storm sets in,
Strong convictions rise above the din,
And slash and burn through thick covering,
Exposing something hidden, cowering,
To this match,
Which went and sparked
the unforeseeable
30 flea hatch.

A nice summary of how hybrid warfare works on civil society and another summary of the National Endowment for Democracy, the ‘overt cia’

Neocolonial Psy-Warfare: The Collusion of Western Media and NGO’s
By: Tortilla Con Sal Published 25 July 2016

Western media and NGO’s collaborate more and more with self-evident but unacknowledged ideological bias.

Ever since the early 20th Century, managing global consumer taste in communications has been fundamental to the Western corporate elites’ success in their endless global war on the impoverished majority. But their control of global perceptions is in jeopardy now as the effects of climate change become more extreme and the Western powers face increasingly more effective challenges to their economic and military supremacy. Increasingly too, Western dominance even in the English language theater of the global psychological war is less robust now than before. Foreign media with English language outlets, like Russia’s RT, Iran’s Press TV, the ALBA countries’ Telesur or China Central TV offer fresh coverage that has effectively broken Western media’s previous monopoly of foreign news consumption.

One fundamental aspect of psychological warfare ruthlessly exploited by the corporate capitalist elites is the vulnerability of people who think of themselves as progressive to dishonest manipulation of their sincere humanitarian impulses and sense of justice. That exploitation has intensified and become more creative over the last thirty years with a mushrooming of non-governmental organizations and their increasing use as supposedly reliable sources of factual information. This is especially important in terms of managing the relatively well educated, politically articulate populations of the NATO countries in North America and Europe. To do so, Western media and NGO’s collaborate more and more with self-evident but unacknowledged ideological bias and also increasingly abandon even the pretense of basic professional competence.

Just as in the West’s corporate disinformation media, the corporate management of the NGO sector works via a straightforward class mechanism that naturally screens out genuine dissidents. The various ideological filters can accommodate all kinds of nonconformists, across gender, sexuality, race, religion and class itself, but long experience has shown that peer pressure and fear of losing income or status suppress dissent very effectively. Only a tiny number of people are able to resist the subtle but crushing machinery of intellectual oppression this insidious culture imposes. And because the numbers who resist are so small, they have a correspondingly trivial impact in the West’s psychological war against the global impoverished majority.

This in its turn means that really quite diverse identities accumulate in the Western NGO sector, clustering around gender, sexuality, race, and political ideology. Those identity-focused clusters feed into and are in turn themselves to some extent shaped by the majority world NGO sector, itself mostly dependent on the corporate and government funding base of their Western counterparts. The resulting enormous global network enjoys a symbiotic relationship with Western corporate and alternative media. Western media pick up stories from NGOs so the NGOs benefit from Western media coverage in a mutual credibility-enhancing display for the benefit of gullible consumers. This kind of perception management occurs constantly in foreign news coverage of countries targeted by NATO country governments, from Venezuela to Syria to Eritrea but it takes time and effort to uncover how this psy-warfare mechanism works…………

http://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/How-the-US-Funds-Dissent-against-Latin-American-Governments-20150312-0006.html

12 March 2015 – 07:06 AM

How the US Funds Dissent against Latin American Governments
“A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA.”

The U.S. government and military have a long history of interfering in the affairs of numerous countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.

By the end of the 19th century, there had been at least 10 U.S. military interventions across the hemisphere including Argentina (1890), Chile (1891), Haiti (1891), Panama (1895), Cuba (1898), Puerto Rico (1898) and Nicaragua (1894, 1896, 1898 and 1899).

From this time onward, successive U.S. administrations applied different strategies and tactics for involvement in the region as a means to secure and protect its geopolitical and economic interests. However, only recently has there been wider acknowledgement about the role that U.S. funding to nongovernmental organizations — particularly via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) — plays in furthering U.S. foreign policy.

For example, in 2012 governments of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA) collectively signed a resolution to expel USAID from each of the member countries. Those countries include Bolivia, Cuba, Ecuador, Dominica, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

The National Endowment for Democracy

The NED was created by the administration of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan in 1983, operates as a foundation that provides grants for “democracy promotion.” The foundation is structured as an umbrella with an almost corporatist flavor.

It houses four other organizations reflecting U.S. sectoral and party interest: the U.S. labor-affiliated American Center for International Labor Solidarity (ACILS); the Chamber of Commerce-linked Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE); and the other two, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI) and the International Republican Institute (IRI), reflect Democrat and Republican affiliations respectively.

In many ways the NED resembles previous CIA efforts in the 1950s, 60s and 70s to provide mostly public money for secret operations aimed to bolster pro-U.S. governments and movements abroad. In South America for example, between 1975 and 1978 the U.S. helped with the creation and implementation of Operation Condor. The U.S. provided right-wing dictatorships in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Ecuador with technical and military support for the goal of hunting down and killing political opponents. Some estimate that Operation Condor killed between 60,000 and 80,000 people.

In 1986, the then president of the NED, Carl Gershman, explained to the New York Times, “We should not have to do this kind of work covertly … It would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the C.I.A. We saw that in the 60s, and that’s why it has been discontinued. We have not had the capability of doing this, and that’s why the endowment was created.”

U.S. citizens fund the NED with public money, for the most part without their knowledge or consent. The U.S. government allocates part the budget of the U.S. Department of State to USAID, which in turn provides most of the NED’s funding. Although it receives practically all of its funding from the U.S. government, the NED is technically a nongovernmental organization, headed by a board of directors. The current board includes:

Francis Fukuyama, a political economist, author and free-market universalist;

Elliott Abrams, former deputy assistant and deputy national security adviser on Middle East policy in the administration of George W. Bush;

Moises Naim, Venezuelan Minister of Trade and Industry during the turbulent early 1990s and former executive director of the World Bank;

Robert B. Zoellick, former deputy secretary of state under George W. Bush and Vice Chairmanship at Goldman Sachs Group.

The scope of activity of the NED is truly impressive. According to the NED website, it supports more than 1,000 non-government projects in more than 90 countries.

At its inception in the early 1980s, the NED’s funding allocation was set at US$18 million and reached its peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Allocations for 2014 and 2015 have been approved for US$103.5 million, while over US$7 million was directed primarily to opposition organizations in Ecuador, Bolivia, Venezuela and Cuba in 2013.

Within the U.S. Department of State’s “Justification of Request” documents, which outline the reasons for funding requests, it is clear that funding priorities in Latin America and the Caribbean reflect the NED’s modern strategy of overtly carrying out old covert objectives.

Michel Chossudovsky, a professor emeritus of economics at the University of Ottawa in Canada, sees this funding as an element in “manufacturing dissent” against governments that the U.S. government dislikes. However, these funders do not work alone. “The NED (and USAID) are entities linked with the U.S. state department, but they operate in tandem with a whole of other organizations,” said Chossudovsky…………

Samsung galaxy exploding/burning phones has been in the news a bit and now apparently Samsung is discontinuing the galaxy7. From my understanding of lithium batteries, they need a circuit board/computer chip to control charge/discharge. A lot of non US companies getting hit lately for all sorts of reasons, but the main reason seems to be to protect US companies. Part of full spectrum warfare.
So if lithium batteries need a controller for charge/discharge, can that be targeted with a physically destructive program similar to the Iran centrifuges?
This is just an idle thought, but I now work on the assumption that the US is guilty until proven innocent.

Hi. I just returned from my walk to town with the Love Army, and got the sad news about Motorola. I hope he’ll be back to join the Love Army; maybe that’s why he had to go.

I was walking with the third division grunts. One grizzly vet with stars on his chest and zodiac signs on his helmet said not to be discouraged about things like Motorola. He’d been on planets where we won the war after losing every battle.

He said not to be deceived by numbers and quantity. Once in galaxy 70zh331Bj911Fn393, with star #4Do6…. on the third planet out, he said there was a situation like ours. One person can turn the tide. A certain town had an old dame who looked like a witch on thorazine. She was thrown into a corner of the town like a rag doll pet toy. People avoided her like the plague.

The star wars vet said she had a rare love rarely seen. She had to use that cover to keep the lid on so as not to blow the town to kingdom come. He added that things were not what they seem. He was surprised to see so many people here leading dogs around with a collar. On one other planet it was reversed: dogs led people on all fours around with leashes and collars. He supposed it was a balancing act by the Lords of Karma.

A womam soldier sharpshooter with eyes of steel said what we’ve got here is the real deal. That’s why so many souls are jostling to get in with a body, no matter how deformed. In this den of vipers we can burn off eons of karma, a program not available anywhere else.

They were aware of this vineyard and that I was writing about them. The female soldier quoted a song by Dylan: “no altars on this long and lonesome road.” I was surprised. She said Dylan was like Putin, a double agent who turned an inch away double into a triple play, then added he was the third part of the plan that began with Christianity and went to Shakespeare before Dylan. She said that this vineyard is likewise a stalking horse for taking down the empire.

I read “The Empire and the Battle for the Human Soul” which just went up at the All News room. That about nails it in a general’s terms. The Love Army fleshes out the action in the ground level trenches.

I’d like to dedicate the following poem to Russia and Putin and tell them not to worry because:

The Love Army is coming on strong
Turning right-side up a world gone wrong
Invisible to all but the eyes of a child
It answers only to the call of the wild

It flies a flag that few can see
All the way from here to eternity
It marches into the capitals of trade
Those self-made cities of the plague

It goes against the war culture grain
And breaks that foul adulterous chain
The huddled masses watch it pass by
With nary a notion of how or why

But you and I have been here before
Standing before that half-opened door
Like the man near Jesus with a chance to choose
Who walked away because he had too much to lose

It’s all right and it’s OK
The Love Army will do it anyway
But if I don’t join in I’ll regret it
And bear the pain that I didn’t get it

All ten divisions break their stride
When passing by the mountain side
Into the valley of womam’s pride
Within a vineyard cafe opened wide

I’ve been with maidens endowed the fairest
Visited starry regions deemed the rarest
But never saw a more beautiful day
Than when a Love Army dressed in battle array

That mighty force stole my heart from me
Like a bolt of lightning from infinity
Oh, ghost riders in a sparkling sky
Take me with you before I die
————-
Oh, Baby, the army of love is on a roll
It stole my heart with its rock and roll
Oh, Sweetheart, let’s be bold and brave
Help put the Empire into its grave

RT UK’s bank accounts have been blocked, RT’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan reported. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova reacted, saying it seems that in leaving the EU, London also left any freedom of speech obligations behind there.
“Our accounts in Britain have been blocked. All of them. ‘Decision not to be discussed’. Hail to freedom of speech!” RT’s editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said on her Twitter account.

The National Westminster Bank has informed RT UK that it will no longer have the broadcaster among its clients. The bank provided no explanation for the decision.

“We have recently undertaken a review of your banking arrangements with us and reached the conclusion that we will no longer provide these facilities,” NatWest said in a letter to RT’s London office.

The bank said that the entire Royal Bank of Scotland Group, of which NatWest is part, would refuse to service RT.

The letter said the decision was final and that it is “not prepared to enter into any discussion in relation to it.”

its happening folks, plus loss of internet to Julian Assange……Kiev debt to Rus hearing also in London could become subjected to such shennanigens?

Well, woke up this Monday morning, and read about the actions taken against both wiki leaks and rt. Not a word from the msm. The sound on RT is cutting in and out on the cable feed I’m watching in the hotel I’m staying
