Waiter!, please one Expresso.
Is it already time to celebrate?
I’m not sure…something bothers still…

The man is clearly deluded and ignorant of history. He should take a look at the history of revolutions and regime change, real ones not the sponsored colour revolutions. They don’t happen in the voting booth with the news cameras rolling or on social media.
Who is he trying to kid and why?
Speaking of real revolutions… may I recommend the documentary “Big Boys Gone Bananas”, for those who may have missed it, as an example?
Sweden vs. Dole Foods corporation. Nussiminen can let us know if its factual or not?
The US election caused me to fondly remember this film.
well, I understand exactly he and more like him are behind color revolutions. His videos have kept me puzzled for some days. On one hand I am very glad that Hillary is not POTUS and never will be. At least this phantom is gone away. On the other, although I believe that Trump is sincere and means to help the people I am not sure to which stage this has not been staged, his triumph I mean. It would have been interesting to know how an election between Sanders and Trump would have come out.
*Alex Jones was thanked personally by The Donald for his unvaluable support in his campaign…..
*Then you have that this “psiquiatrist” Dr. Pieczenik colaborates with the other Alex Jones in spreading some conspiracy theories….From what it seems he is an expert in handling with “terrorist”s, what we do not know is how in the Earth he could not manage at all in avoiding that Kissinger, Reagan, Nixon and Bush perpetrated their terrorist acts around the globe….for a mediator, a bad record, no? And, besides, anyway, Aldo Moro was found died, with the unvaluable help of renowmed Italian fascists and Logia P2…..
Then he was a member of a private intelligence firm, CFR, Rand Corporation,etc…. and is recognized as trainer of CIA employees…..
Curiously, or not so, he also writes poetry…..Is this an epidemia?..Who knows…..
*Also you have that CEO of Breitbart News Network has been appointed Chief of Staff for “Strategical Issues”….When Breitbart was born in Israel, including many Israeli members….
I would say that all the above can be included as COINTELPRO.
Remember, there is no such thing as a “former intelligence asset”
For a “commited Chavista” like you, even when really living in Switzerland, a strange source, yes it is…
Since he describes himself a “maverick troublemaker” I wonder if he could not be behind the “multiple personalities” populating this cafe…..
What do I think about Jones and Pieczenik? I guess that I’m ambivalent.
I see the global government types– a construct, no doubt– pushing their vision for the future like it is a foregone conclusion ( the world capitol in Jerusalem?! cashless society biometrics, mandatory carbon taxation vaccines for all, etc. etc. ) and basically stuff happens namely Trump. It was there for everyone to see, from the very beginning: The Great Communicator, the second coming of Ronald Reagan(another person whom I am ambivalent about — though to be fair, the Reagan we know is the post-assassination attempt Reagan). If one takes Pieczenik at his word, he is a foot soldier that got fed up. It makes a lot of sense that people like him, and not Russia are the ones behind Wikileaks.
My other thought is Trump, could represent emulation, mimesis, perhaps even consciously of Putin.
@chimmy
I think it’s been clear that Trumps winning the election was a slap on the face of the establishement, against Bilderberg Group and a massive response to MSM Propaganda. No doubts here. I agree, a Trump attack is not outruled, as you said happened to Reagan and we must not forget JFK. Basically, this job as well as the position in itself is not possible without a very strong support, military and intelligence backed. About the credibilitiy of Steve Pieczenik, it can be that he is what he claims, a fed up soldier, it can be he represents more deceiving. However, his narrative seems plausible to me, DJT was basically hired to take this job and is part of a movement that goes beyond winning the election. Too good to be true? that’s my feeling, but what if not? What if Trump is to the USA what Putin has been to Russia? Here the last two pieces
1.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuwRJYa1S2E
2.- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLtoANsg2AM
Donald Trump thanked these fools of Breitbart who though been antisemitic are also demonizing Iran and praising everlasting US-Israel relationship. These clowns there have no idea about pipeline war in Syria and the link of Saudi/Qatar-ISIS-USA-Israel. We will see soon that nothing has really changed so much in Washington. Conservative Neo-Con War Party 3.0.
Hi elsi
Here a little help for you. Maybe you can mark with colors according to the different groups, communists, liberals, chavistas, republicans and son on. Have fun!

A few words about carbon dioxide global warming global cooling and global fooling.
First climate change. As every one knows climate has always changed. Grapes were once grown in Belgium, England and even in protected places up to Sweden.. On the other hand the French Revolution came during a period of extreme cold weather when crops failed, a mini ice age. Climate is changing today as also everyone can notice. This change is most likely due to deforestation, denudation and desertification. In the last 40 years we seem to have cut 30% of the remaining forest cover. By soil denudation this includes paved areas like highways etc. we create hot spots, as the vegetal cover acting as a regulating buffer zone is gone. At the same time we create enormous spaces for thermal mass in our megacities, etc. Trees by certain exudates help in the formation of rain, For instance in the Andamans it used to rain for about 9 months a years today with the forests gone it rains for only 3 months. All this above could be one of the many factor creating warming. The soil makes the climate as the climate makes the soil. (for those who know French read” Le Sol fait le Climat” by Maxim Guilaume)
There is considerable evidence of general warming in our solar system. Also fluctuations in the sun’s magnetic field may have an influence on the magma inside the Earth’s intestines. According to some sources this explains the rise of earthquakes volcanic eruptions and ice melting.
What about the ice melting? Studies about the melting of the Himalayan glaciers found only the effect of sooth, pollution as the reason for the withdrawal of the glaciers, although this mainly concerns the snouts. Increased rainfall or huge intense deluges may also effect the glaciers. This pollution also is a major reason for the melting of the polar cap.
Supposing global warming would be a fact. The ice will melt and the melting water at 0 degrees spreads out. Gradually this water heats up. When it reaches 4 degrees C. it obtains it highest density and sinks to the depths. There it stirs up besides minerals from the sea floor all the dirt we have thrown in the oceans which explains also the mass extension of aquatic life. Moreover if the cold stream protected from heating by the above water layers will on reaching the coasts rise up and may create bad summers. There is no melting in winter.
However one has to have a good look at the world map. Most of the emerged land area is in the North (North America, Europe parts of Asia.) The water representing 73 % of the Earth’s surface, on the contrary is mainly situated in the tropics. Although sources claim that the effect of global warming would affect mainly the North it is sure that even a slight increase in temperature will create huge increases in evaporation in the tropics. This will create a confusion in the low pressure areas which may result in higher wind velocities thus storms etc. It would affect the gulf stream as well. The increased evaporation will prevent the cooling of the planet hence more heat more evaporation. This would lead to global cooling as the dense cloud cover inhibits solar light thus heat. This all would indeed create a global climate perturbation; extremes in heat and cold and could lead to a new ice age. To build up ice caps in the polar regions huge amount of precipitation in the form of snow etc is required which only the oceans of the tropics can provide. Thus warming is required for creating an ice age.
Carbon dio cide?
CO2 may or may not having anything to do with heating. What is of importance to heating is carbon monoxide and methane. But as mentioned earlier the biggest source of heating is water vapour. Carbon pollution is mainly due to agriculture especially when in field agriculture chemical fertilisers are used. Chemical fertilisers are also radio active which have a drastic effect on soil life. 80% of all living organisms live in the top 30 centimetres of soil on land or water in the oceans, These organisms have by their very presence or absence a considerable effect on carbon ratios, Needless to say that these life forms constituting the largest part of all living organisms are severally threatened by extinction. Hence carbon is released.. Life stock is a huge contributor to methane. Usually one blames the Asian rice field for this. However this is largely false at least before chemicals come to be widely used in rice cultivation. But even today most rice farmers are still using besides the chemicals organic manures. In the organic handling micro organisms deal to a great extend with this issue of green house gasses. In short soils produce the “green house gasses” Exhaust of industry etc surely also contribute in some way.
Trees and vegetation which depend on air for their growth ( carbon 44% oxygen44% hydrogen6% nitrogen 2-3 %, all these are air elements) would grow much better with increased carbon levels as is demonstrated in glasshouses where carbon is added. However due to acidification of soils vital components are leached out and the interaction between fungi and hairroots is impeded and pollution covering the leaves with dust and sooth hinders the harvesting of sunlight the major energy source for plants. It also makes plants more susceptible to pests
What about all the commotion about global warming and CO2. This was instigated in The European parliament under aegis of the well know neocons our “American partners”. It is all about carbon credits, carbon market speculation which now reaches billions of fake dollars. For those who know some French you can ask Phillippe de Villiers a French MP. or listen to his talk on radio Courtoise or see the link below. Interesting reference to Putin also.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B2Kzv_auo4
There may be lots of other factors which could influence the climate but of which we have as yet no idea. And of course there is Haarp and Chemtrails and god know what other wonderful technologies our great civilisation has produced.
That being said someone else may well contradict whatever is written here. But the conclusion at least for me is that the Earth Mother is in need of a drastic change in the consciousness of her homo sapiens. Anybody with a sense will feel and intuitively know that this change this shift is urgent A mere improvement of the present is like the gilding of the same sh..t and will not do.
.
I fully agree with the last paragraph and the general variables you laid out.
Glaciers melting and sea ice melting produces sweet water that is less dense than salt water, no mater what temperature it takes. In the sea, water sinks to the bottom when it becomes more salty due to partially freezing out at the surface. The residual salt brine is then cold and dense enough to sink. In contrast, large amounts of glacier run off slows the convection in the oceans. In particular, large sweet water input from Greenland might slow or stop the gulf stream. As a result, the central heating of Europe may be shut down for decades.
Deforestation is a serious issue on a local scale (i.e. frequent landslides upon heavy rainfall, top soil loss due to wind ablation and washing off) as well as a regional and global scale (change in weather and precipitation patterns). The tropical soils are particularly fragile without the forest cover. Degraded tropical soils may never recover during our civilization as the change in local climate makes it practically impossible for new trees to grow in denuded, nutrient-deficient terrains.
CO2 is a climate driver among others. Methane is 17 fold as efficient but resides only a few decades in the atmosphere. Taking the residence time of these two gases into account, CO2 is about on par with methane as it lingers for centuries (iirc some 400 years). For comparing gases, their immediate climate effect is referred to CO2 and then measured in tons of CO2 equivalent.
The effect of water is not fully understood as even the best scientific climate models have a hard time dealing with its behavior. It makes a huge difference if water is found as vapor (absorbs UV light -> heats) or condensed in clouds (reflects infrared light -> cools). As condensation depends on the amount of condensation seeds (sooth, dust) and many other factors, it is very hard to predict and simulate.
Unfortunately, the current CO2 pollution credit system is rigged and corrupt to the bone. Since its introduction, any real incentive to reduce pollution and waste was stripped. I would prefer a global pollution tax that is perceived upon mining/extraction of a resource. These tax contributions should feed a global development fund and be redistributed in equal amounts per capita world-wide. Besides providing a strong incentive in saving resources, it would provide a reward for all people consuming less resources than the average person.
Kind regards,
Marcel
Thanks Marcel,for clarifications,
Lots of things are changing. Massive heating of all planets in solar system, currently. Also major reduction in magnetic protection for all of the Americas, (I seem to remember 25%?). We are also seeing rapid movement of the poles. We are 200,000 years overdue for a pole shift. Apparently last time we had one it didn´t settle down for about 3,000 years. Also, the work of Graham Hancock on the happenings in the later dryas, (which launched the mini ice age) as a cyclical phenomenon is very interesting and convincing.
I don´t dispute anthropogenic climate change, but would like to see it as one factor in a hugely complex system. The dominant narrative is being used to create `carbon exchanges´(more financial roulette wheels) and pass otherwise distasteful legislation under cover of the emergency´.
It is entirely possible that we are facing a planetary disaster, and those in the know see no reason to panic a public, when there is nothing we can do about it.
Last July, the jet streams crossed the equator in 3 places several times. This is uncharted territory.
Maybe its an antidote to arrogance and the little ego when nature throws us some fury. I do think we are collectively undergoing an initiation to a higher conscious state. Who knows how it will manifest.
Make it a joyous ride!
It is already happening, Trump will work with China:
Under Donald Trump, the US will accept China’s rise – as long as it doesn’t challenge the status quo
James Woolsey says while America remains committed to its role as a holder of the balance of power in Asia, it supports China’s legitimate efforts to seek a bigger say on global affairs
http://www.scmp.com/comment/insight-opinion/article/2044746/under-donald-trump-us-will-accept-chinas-rise-long-it-doesnt
LOL. I guess it is better than worst case scenario and Trump will let Chinese live. Not bomb her to dust at first sight.
However, grandstanding notwithstanding, the relation will not be ice and fire.
RT tweeted a video of Trump’s 5years grand daughter reciting Chinese poetry. The poetry is saying every bits of food, is someone’s hard work, need to be cherished. Some thing all Chinese kids know, and sternly reminded by their parents (some time with a spank for not finish all the food).:-)
https://www.rt.com/viral/366924-trumps-granddaughter-poem-china/
Trump also has 78 trade mark in China. I am sure he has a lot more in rest of world as well.
I am done with the topic. I am hoping tweet storm will stop him appointing John Bolton to the head of state department.
Maybe still time to tweet @transition2017 and tell them NO.
While I,and most others blame the US for the bad relations with Russia. It may not be only the US in that. It appears that there are plenty of European stooges happy to carry on against Russia even if the US changes its policy.So says the meeting of EU foreign ministers meeting.According to them they take a “principled stand” against Russia’s “illegal” annexation of Crimea,and actions in Ukraine .I suppose they were saying “Russian aggression” in Ukraine,by those words. I can’t believe Mogherini didn’t choke or bust out laughing when she said they had a “principled stand” against Russia. Even reading that I couldn’t stop a sneer from coming on my face.Having to say those words,I don’t think I could keep a straight face at the least. So its best to remember that European elites have centuries longer than the US at being Russophobic. And until the European peoples pull “a Trump” and dump their own “neo-liberal/neo-con politicians,we can’t be sure much will change in Europe.
https://www.rt.com/news/366822-mogherini-eu-russia-policy-trump/
yup-this is despite Mog. visiting Russia and talking to either Pres Putin or Lavrov few weeks ago……….
Just to add : Yesterday were elections in Moldova and a Russian friendly president has benn elected, as well in Bulgaria.
@ Uncle Bob
The pompous bluster of the European nincompoops is the pathetic whimpering of the poltroon hiding behind the coattails of Uncle Sam. The European power elites are in a state of shock for having lost the witch sponsor of terrorism, globalism and Russophobia as their ringleader. I won’t be surprised if they attempt some skulduggery to force the new Washington mafia to be as belligerent as any before.
Russia cannot relax while there is that Nato cabal on the map.
Very true. Now is not a time to be so happy as to let the guard down.
We can classify the two major camps as ‘America first’ or nationalists vs the neocons, or as international fascists and world-wide 1%ers vs nationally oriented exceptionalists, or nationalists vs globalists, etc.
If we look at the globalists, they want a New World Order without national sovereignty, and to run it all. They will be putting pressure on EU and NATO even if the US falls back to domestic concerns. So there was some pressure on EU from the US exceptionalists, and some from the globalists, and Trump cn have the most effect on on the US exceptionalists while the rest of the western world’s ruling class will go on trying to take over the world. Hopefully Trump (and some others) can set the nationalists and globalists waring against each other — divide and conquer. Similar with other warring factions among the aristocrats. (All assuming Trump really wants to break this up).
Hi blue,
Appreciate your clarification here, I think it is very accurate. One question: where does Rockefeller fit in all this? Globalist godfather, yet still entirely ‘America first’? I don’t know, I’m guessing.
Uncle Bob 1
no matter if blackmailed, willing accomplices or whatever, with these stooges it has been the US neo-con/AZ establishment that has floated their boats. now they are sinking.
OK. my usual disclaimer about the source etc. for those new to the site. It is a Mossad analysis so use liberal amounts of discernment . My military guru sent it to me and whenever he does this he expects some in depth thinking from me.
http://www.debka.com/article/25776/Obama-hits-Trump-tie-with-Putin-Erdogan-on-Syria
Two immediate points: The Turks are attacking near Aleppo ( al Bab per South Front) much to the discomfort of the Syrians so why would Assad even give permission for a joint Russian-Turk attack on Raqqa? Also, perhaps the split in the US ruling class (one not on principle but on tactics and strategy) is reflected in the supposedly sudden arming of the Kurds but they have been arming them all along.
I see the hand of the 7th Floor can’t shoot straight gang in all this and why do I have this sense of deja vu that how Erdogan had his back covered by the Russians might be replicated for Trump in due time? In that sense, the ruling neocons are correct: both Trump and Putin are anti globalists and so in a broad sense they are natural allies in the struggle for the continuation of life on earth.
“The Trump team of strategist advisers is no doubt in hectic consultation on this course with Moscow and Ankara.”
And how is that, being still Obama the POTUS, this source, aka. Mossad, is able to make such an statement as the above?
Maybe could have a link with the fact that CEO of Braitbart News, S. Bannon is the chief of that strategist team?
And, I wonder, since when, in this site, where it has been impossible to pronounce anything related to Jews without suffering an accussation of being a ziohashbara troll, zio sayanimtroll, ziogay, zionazi and so on, it is that we now accept that Debka, aka. Mossad and the Strategic Team of Trump , both belonging to the same nation in its origins, now are comitted for the good resolution of the Syrian conflict, when we know where ISIS members were brought to be healed and after we were made know that the end of ISIS was not beneficcial for Israel.
I wonder why is that none of the priviledge minds who populated this blog and claimed to be so antizionist has nothing against that CEO of Breitbart News is now directing the strategical issues of the US…..
Maybe is that, while being “so called” “alt-right” we are able to forget the “zio” issue?
Well, obviously, the only place where Nazis and Jews could get along well is there, after all, isn´t it?
In the International Fascist.
Good point, Elsi…Trump’s unabashed support of Israel is a deal breaker for me when it comes to trusting that he is really going to take on the globalists-=–but they, the globalists, are afraid that in his populist type bumbling around that their narrative will be totally discredited which is why they are so rabid against him.
What makes no sense in the above Mossad “analysis” is that the Syrian Kurds are big time anti-Isis so why would Russia bomb their supplies? Also, the deal the Kurds made with Assad about Raqqa is that they would not enter the city but would play a support role in taking the outlying towns.
I think more likely is that the Russians and Iranians and Hezbollah and the Syrian Army will finish off Isis et. al in Aleppo very quickly now that the American elections are over and the political path is clear. Then, they can shift forces to support the Syrian Army units outside of Raqqa and lift the siege of Deir ez Zor. They neither need nor want the Turks. Also, the Russians understand that to attack the Syrian Kurds would force them into alignment with Kurds of very different stripe and that would be foolish.
The Turks may be planning a sudden rapproachment with the Israelis for a bilateral attack on Syria which is why this article might be used as a smoke screen, diversion. Who knows. I do not see any indication that the Turks are fighting Isis nor that they have any other than purely opportunistic reasons to be in Iraq or N. Syria.
Also, Trump has many Zionist fundamentalist Christians followers who support his foreign policy in the Middle East. So he is a snake in the grass really unless he can learn quickly.
Isn’t the “Internationale” the anthem of the left wing?

Stephen Bannon was born in USA at Norfolk, Virginia 1953:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bannon
this is what I found about him. But, regarding the relations with Israel, in policy everything is possible, nobody denies the importance of Israel in the region, and even in Israel are different political views and they are smart enough. The same “waiting” is to be observed in the EU and in Asia, all related to the newly elected Trump. There is some kind of fluid situation now, till next year January.

The Starlight Night
LOOK at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves’-eyes!
The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!
Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!—
Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.
Buy then! bid then!—What?—Prayer, patience, aims, vows.
Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs!
Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!
These are indeed the barn; withindoors house
The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.

Thanks for the wonderful poem !
As I love to share poetry with others I will do so again today. Recently and by accident I came across this poem and it touched something very deep inside of me. And I started asking myself: “What am I fighting for? How much would I actually be willing to sacrifice?”
Maybe thought-provoking for others too………
—-
Nazim Hikmet, who spent most of his adult life in prison or in exile, knew something of despair. But he knew something too of resistance, of that rebellious spirit which must define us in times of terrible oppression and woe if we are to remain fully human. Any act of resistance is its own eternal triumph. Hikmet captured this in his poem
“On Living.”
I
Living is no laughing matter:
you must live with great seriousness
like a squirrel, for example—
I mean without looking for something beyond and above living,
I mean living must be your whole occupation.
Living is no laughing matter:
you must take it seriously,
so much so and to such a degree
that, for example, your hands tied behind your back,
your back to the wall,
or else in a laboratory
in your white coat and safety glasses,
you can die for people—
even for people whose faces you’ve never seen,
even though you know living
is the most real, the most beautiful thing.
I mean, you must take living so seriously
that even at seventy, for example, you’ll plant olive trees—
and not for your children, either,
but because although you fear death you don’t believe it,
because living, I mean, weighs heavier.
II
Let’s say we’re seriously ill, need surgery—
which is to say we might not get up
from the white table.
Even though it’s impossible not to feel sad
about going a little too soon,
we’ll still laugh at the jokes being told,
we’ll look out the window to see if it’s raining,
or still wait anxiously
for the latest newscast . . .
Let’s say we’re at the front—
for something worth fighting for, say.
There, in the first offensive, on that very day,
we might fall on our face, dead.
We’ll know this with a curious anger,
but we’ll still worry ourselves to death
about the outcome of the war, which could last years.
Let’s say we’re in prison
and close to fifty,
and we have eighteen more years, say,
before the iron doors will open.
We’ll still live with the outside,
with its people and animals, struggle and wind—
I mean with the outside beyond the walls.
I mean, however and wherever we are,
we must live as if we will never die.
III
This earth will grow cold,
a star among stars
and one of the smallest,
a gilded mote on blue velvet—
I mean this, our great earth.
This earth will grow cold one day,
not like a block of ice
or a dead cloud even
but like an empty walnut it will roll along
in pitch-black space . . .
You must grieve for this right now
—you have to feel this sorrow now—
for the world must be loved this much
if you’re going to say “I lived”. . .
name the nr. 1- thought- crime in Europe, right: Antisemit
and which of all thought-crimes Donald wasn’t not barked at?
He is too much of a genius to reject the yewish geniouses
in his busynesses
the genious knows the world has to be completed out
of the puzzle-pieces that be
according to alchemists: “the art has to complete what nature let
imperfect”
Now the crazies have to fight two artists
VVP and Trump
“we must live as if we will never die.” yes, but how ? and there is the answer : “You must grieve for this right now
—you have to feel this sorrow now—
for the world must be loved this much
if you’re going to say “I lived”. . .”
Thanks for sharing this poem and “provoking” to think about.
US, British ‘Clean House’ to Delete Syria Terror Links
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/11/14/us-british-clean-house-delete-syria-terror-links.html
How quickly the honored ‘friends’ of yesterday become ‘enemies’ on a kill list of the Anglo-Zionist Empire.
Truly an illustration of the old adage about the Anglo-Zionist Empire which says “The Anglo-Zionist Empire has no friends, only assets.”
Your link is highly recommended, by the way.
@ rodp13
Just from your introductory words to the link I had guessed what’s all about; and the link confirmed it. This, hopefully, final denouement was expected, including the “house cleaning” because of the compromising clues of Western conniving left behind.
I wonder whether Syria and its allies should pre-empt the house cleaning and intervene, ironically, to protect the valuable Western assets from harm by drones and SAS execution squads. They would indeed be very precious witnesses to unmask the creators of terrorism. The trouble is that Russia would one again bend backwards to protect the “partners and colleagues” from further embarrassment.
Business as usual for my disgusting (UK) government.
What is unusual is that these ‘kill-lists,’ extra-judicial assassinations, have been openly reported in present time and not exposed as they normally are by whistle-blowers 10, 20, 30 years later.
They must be either very confident that they will not be called to account or acting out of desperation now.
I have no problem with these jihadis dying, (they themselves have no problem with that or they would not have volunteered) but as a clean-up operation to hide their western sponsors complicity in greater crimes– this is truly depraved.

Kent
Thanks Kent. Maria Z has a brilliant sense of humour. Her rebuke was very funny!
On a more serious note this is now part of a pattern. Trump hasn’t even started to govern yet and already we have:
1. The eurocrats confirming via Mogherini’s statement that they will not agree to a thaw in relations to Russia. ( see UBob 1 post above)
2. Nato’s letter reminding Trump of his “indispensable obligation to that alliance.
3. Organized riots and protest across the US in what looks like the beginning of a color revolution.
4. Liberal shills are pushing the media narrative that Trump has already “sold out”.
5. A legal petition being circulated to overturn the electoral college votes (since Hillary apparently won the popular vote)
The empire is fighting back…
Trump needs to get the Republican party behind him, get some allies, or he’s going to be in big trouble…
I agree on all your points.
point three is the primary frontline tool.

I do believe he is right on the majority of points in this article.

I’ve said it before and I want to say it again. This site is playing a crucial role in geo-politics, despite its small size. But there is another aspect of the vineyard that is easy to miss. This cafe is not an appendage to the war room; it’s rather the other way around. At base this innocent appearing cafe is revolutionary, if it remains true to its development, and is not co-opted by something else.
I am a neophyte in matters of geo-politics, trying to play catch-up. With this just starting cafe, I had the thought that this cafe is acting as a watch-dog on the whole geo-pol scene. That’s a gut reaction rather than an informed view, since I comprehend little of what is really going on.
My background is highly insular as far as the so-called “real world” is concerned. A former Franciscan monk and Catholic priest, a registered nurse, a new age religion initiate and minister and a meta-fizzle sampler of a variety of philosophies and practices. On paper which is very thin indeed, I have degrees in philosophy, theology, psychology and nursing. I’ve been married and divorced after eighteen years and have one son who is a deep sea diver, totally different than me in thinking, a very scientific skeptic at 23 years of age. I am immensely proud of him, especially that for now he is so different from me and my former wife, forging his own way in life. I have to give credit to my former spouse for having a home birth, nursing him until he decided to quit, never separating from him, and not putting him into state schools until he chose to try them out.
I’m leading up to something so bear with me because I’m not sure where this is going. OK, I think I see it. Whoops, just lost it. It’s back. This site has a special gifted energy, born of a combination of elements rarely found: a russian orthodox owner-operator living in the USA, a community of people who are against war, an excellent user-friendly tech platform, a workable balance of analytics, personalities, art, music, poetry, history, freedom of speech, moderation control, superb linking system to relevant sources, feedback loops, armchair philosophers and spiritual seekers of all stripes, etc.
My own shtick is love which I freely throw into the mix. Love is basically an energy that can bind disparate elements together at the theoretical and popular levels. This vineyard has its own gifted energy which is love at base. The Saker is obviously a lover under his various personas. And so are we in all our guises and disguises, even when denied consciously.
Now I want to end this chant/rant/cant with a poem but first a prose intro. I’ve said that love is energy. If I was an Einstein I might formulate it thusly: Love = Energy x mass x light squared infinitely. In the love calendar, which begins at the winter solstice here in the north and the summer high noon in the south, we are in the 47th week, the 47th card in the deck of life; in the seventh suit of Sound at the fifth level up, called E, one of the steps in the musical scale from A to G. E stands for Energy and Empty. If love is an energy and the highest and deepest to boot, it is both rational and poetic. At each step of the 52 step program to recovery there is analysis and ecstasis. The following attachment is poetry ostensibly but also rationality substantially.
I need to post this after proofing it, for fear of losing it, and then attaching the actual poem. If I was more techy like my son, I suppose I could save it.
Dennis,
I wonder if you have read the lovely words of Ivan Ilyn on love from “The Singing Heart”.
They are powerful, lovely words and his concept of love as the only force in life is interesting – and good.
Wondered what your take on him might be.
Thanks for the tip. I will order the book.
Good news:
US President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have held their first telephone call, in which the two leaders discussed Syria and agreed to improve and develop bilateral ties, the Kremlin said in a statement.
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump,Russia’s President Vladimir Putin © Mike Segar, Sergei Karpukhin Trump & Putin have close positions on key issues – State Duma speaker
In their telephone conversation, the two leaders agreed that they share a common view on “uniting efforts in the fight with the common enemy number one – international terrorism and extremism,” the Kremlin said in a statement published on its website late Monday. The Kremlin added that Putin and Trump also discussed ways to settle the Syria crisis.
Putin and Trump paid special attention to the importance of establishing a stable basis for bilateral relations by developing trade and economic ties between the two countries and working toward “constructive cooperation,” the Kremlin said.
The president and the president-elect agreed to keep in contact by telephone and have discussed the idea of meeting in person.
Next year, Russia and the US will celebrate 210 years since the beginning of their diplomatic relations, which might motivate them “reversing towards pragmatic, mutually beneficial cooperation that would satisfy the interests of both countries, promote stability and safety around the world,” the statement also says.
Trump’s team has issued a statement saying Putin congratulated the US president-elect on his election victory.
Trump is “very much looking forward to having a strong and enduring relationship with Russia and the people of Russia,” the statement said.\
Before leaving ( yes, you can celebrate now ) eventhough I am almost sure that few genuine commenters remain here, for those few I will leave a task more interesting than commenting in the “so called” “Alt-media” which, thanks to Trump we have been able to test that quite some are working for the “alt-right”, aka, International Fascist.
Directly from the “old strategist”, for you:
Also knowledge lies in the interaction of formulation of questions and their investigation, whilst spectacles restrict perception.
:Amongst questions to consider include but are not restricted to:
1. How did Mr. Dulles spend his time in Geneva from 1943 onwards?
2. Why was Mr. Speer not executed?
3. Whatever happened to I. G. Farben?
4. What is the history of the CDU?
5. Who gave Axel Springer all that paper in 1945?
6. Whatever happened to Stepan Bandera?
G. S. Eliason seems to have answered No. 4. ( at least in relation to the US)

The Age of Aquarius, revisited
Only after the Election did I see this current, and it was so obviously on display; not only in plain sight but blaring out of every media orifice. We have all felt the change, the switch away from Left-Right to National-Global. But there was another change that occurred in perfect 20-20 hindsight; arguably one more instructive and overarching.
I have been a feminist for a long time, as most of us are if we are honest. I did often argue with my Sisters (the more radical ones) that Paternity is not an evil in itself. There is little as noble as a father sacrificing his life for his wife and children. The desire to protect and defend family/ community/society is one of the greatest goods. We would not have won Humanity’s first victory on the Savannah, nor formed Civilisation itself if not for this basic drive.
The first reason I am a feminist is I oppose entrenched, systemic injustice; the liberal in me. While the traditional family structure and division of labour along gender lines works, it is not fair to impose this on people against their will; there’s that damn liberal again. The second reason is the topic of this argument, the need for more Feminine skills in our society. In Civilisation, a different set of skills are required; cooperation, collaboration, sharing, empathy, justice. All Feminine skills. In times of strife the Masculine traits are required; defence, protection, provision, order. It seems that very early on in Civilisation we the people who build had to defend ourselves from the barbarians who raid. But as always, once someone has power they don’t want to let go. It seems our ruling class keeps foisting fake emergencies on us to justify the retention of the Paternal order.
What we used to call the “Left” has almost ‘won’ the Culture Wars. Starting in the Sixties, the Feminine has been on the rise (Second Wave Feminism). For over 50 years we have been remodelling society along Feminine lines, and it was long overdue. My parent’s generation were the catalyst for the greatest voluntary social change project ever attempted; what they saw as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Problem is our calendars must be wrong; we missed the Second Coming in 2000 and the end of the world in 2012. We have also jumped in a little too early for Aquarius too; we are not ready. It is becoming widely accepted that the social engineering project has gone too far, that our communities, societies, even civilisation itself may be at risk. We cannot submit to the Feminine while the enemy is still at the gates; nothing will stand in their way.
So this year this was all out in the open for us to see, but many missed it (including myself). We had the uber-feminist Hillary (Albright: ‘special place in hell’ for women who don’t support Clinton) vs the uber-misogynist (Grab them by the p*ssy. You can do anything.). We need to deal first with the power structure that dominates us all before we can move to institute a Feminine order. The Masculine has returned because we are at war against a ruling class which exploits the biosphere and everything in it. Break the power structure into seven billion little pieces so we can each safely wield our share. Then we can all weave flowers into our long hair and dance under the Moon. Until then, the Age of Aquarius will have to wait, one more battle to fight.
Thanks for bringing forward these ideas.
I’m not sure what you mean by: “Paternity is not an evil in itself.” Of course that is true; nobody would question that. If paternity is evil, we would die out. However, I maintain that Patriarchy is an evil in itself, although there are good and bad patriarchs. Good patriarchs are needed now to counter their bad brothers. When the war is won, though, if they are indeed good, they will return to their role as defenders of the love order, and allow womem to govern, as it was in the beginning of our species. The waters now are muddied by women in female bodies who have morphed into male patriarchs in their consciousness and behavior.
Thanks Dennis,
Patriarchy is not evil during times of war or famine. I would not like to live under a Matriarchy either, I value Freedom too much. Paternity in this context is referring to the Paternal Instinct, which is the driver behind Patriarchy, and as I argue not intrinsically evil but often misplaced and misused. The crux of my piece is that we need both sets of skills, moving in flux depending on the situation. The election of Trump heralds the change of the pendulum; from Global to National, and in our societies, from Feminine to Masculine. The fact that people are embracing the Masculine is evidence that they feel threatened, and they are from an evil ruling class that is driving our world over a cliff. Time to get our balls out and kick some!

Where is the link to the article?
Anyway, trynig to find it by myself ,i found this site, where its, Editor-in-Chief, shares, curiously, the same views of almost all the cafe regulars right now. Another point to my theory that almost all the “alt-media” has been launche/organized by a organization/-s of people who, to reach their goal, I fear, do not mind to get us pass through an experience like will be The Donald Presidency with his Strategist Senior-in-Chief, S. Bannon, an experience of uncontrollable consequences, as any rational person would find out of the articles below, and so, even when for me the goals of this people does not sound well at all from the start point but like a kinda sectarian weird disthopy comparable to the “Happy World” of Huxley, just the fact that they have supported this presidency with all what it would imply, inform me of their sickness aims. Too much people coming from the Psichiatry/Psychology field to be good…..So as to say, too many potential manipulators and not so much for the freedom of the people…..
Here are the articles on Bannon, for all those who are smart and have the tiem enough so as to write poetry but are not willing to make a simply search on the net:

Since I have understood you a psychologist and also a feminist, I would like to know your analysis on the sight and expression of this individual, as well as on his views on women and the world. The same I would extend to those of The Donald.
I’d don’t think individuals can be separated neatly from their socio-cultural matrix: which is why the personas of Trump/Bannon/Pence are of less interest to me than the powers they may or may not wield. (And yes, of course that is cause for concern – just not right – ‘Ding! Dong! The Witch Is Dead!’ – now. The aversion of war is *the* first objective. Always. )
New information can change perceptions -we are not set in stone.
An article that summarizes Russian psychologist Vygotsky’s views, and which I (mostly) share:

Ps. Made a mistake – G.S. Eliason seems to have answered No. 6, not 4.
What do you think?
PP’s didn’t give link because I assumed you’d read him here in the Vineyard like me and knew who I meant.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
If I may argue a bit, I do not understand what makes cooperation, collaboration, sharing, empathy and justice feminine skills; and what makes defense, protection, provision and order masculine traits. To me a good defense requires cooperation (in the fight), collaboration (in the preparation), sharing (of ideas) and empathy (towards the community). And is it not well known that female animals protect their offspring ferociously?
I still count us humans as part of the animal kingdom and am sure that such basic instincts are built into everyone. Hence, I find it unnatural to attribute innate and learned psychological and social skills to either men or women. In my opinion, following this artificial split leads to a fairly skewed image of oneself. It does and possibly cannot fit reality.
Best regards,
Marcel
Thanks for your thoughts Marcel,
And a very common mistake to make. Masculine does not mean the same thing as Male, and even Male has a number of meanings. Male can refer to Gender, which is an identity, or Sex, which is biological. The mistake is easily made because Masculine/Feminine is something which is not as common a meme in English. In the Romantic languages and others, words can be either masculine or feminine (la is Feminine in French, le is Masculine; le stylo (the pen), la robe (the dress). In English, we tend to use these terms to describe which broad category personality traits fit into.
In this modern world of transgender bathrooms, we should all be aware that being male does not mean you are masculine. And alternatively, having ovaries does not make you feminine. We all have a measure of both feminine and masculine skills inside us, and mainly due to childhood socialisation we repress one of these in favour of the other. I value my feminine skills immensely; having empathy makes me a more potent political activist as I can read my opponent. Having strong cooperation and collaboration skills means I am a valuable member of a team. My feminine skills are what drove me to become an activist; I could not sit by any longer and watch the injustices of the world without acting.
My generation (Generation X) has been strongly socialised by the overarching Feminine culture which came out of the Summer of Love, which being born in 1971 meant I was in the first batch of children born into this new paradigm. But as I said in my original post, the pendulum has started to swing the other way. The Masculine is on the rise due to the correct perception that we are under attack by a rapacious and powerful clique at the top of the world. We are going to need the strength and ferocity that comes with the Masculine in the months and years ahead.
You are quite right, Marcel.
I grew up in the Far East watching women doing all the heavy construction work on building sites. That knowledge caused me problems when I was later required to fit the commonly accepted western stereotype of ‘feminine’ and I did not feel inclined to comply too rigorously.
It took me a lot of years, much study and soul searching to come to terms with the supposed dichotomy or split which is not, in the end, a dichotomy at all.
Jung’s notion of masculine and feminine attributes and how a fully human person is comfortable accommodating both, is basic and useful.
What helped me most was to meet a few real people of the opposite sex who manifest both ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ attributes equally, without a qualm. For me, with such a deeply personal issue, I had to see the results in the flesh and in action in order to see what is possible and attainable and that despite massive social conditioning and pressure to the contrary, these are essentially human attributes, not confined to any one sex.
We are very often constrained by the limitations of available language, any word being at best a vague and general descriptor and not even close to the reality of the thing itself. I love words and language but despite their usefulness in communicating they are, in the end, too reductive to adequately convey the enormous possiblities of reality.
I wrote a paper at UC in the early 70´s comparing and contrasting modes of organisation between feminist groups and more common corporate structures. It was interesting to find Gillian´s studies at Harvard theological dept that did show a difference. Feminine process was more inclusive, focused on consensus, listened to everyone and took a hell of a lot of time to make decisions. However, once made, there was a consensus to back them, people felt empowered, and listened to. The masculine model does seem to fit emergencies or warfare situations in that it is hierarchical, structured in such a way that rain decision making and mobilisation is possible. People farther down in the structure are expected to trust, and obey more than think for themselves. Gillian’s studies showed that when faced with moral decisions, masculine process tends to be formulaic, while the feminine tends to be empathetic, looking at the situations through the eyes and experience of everyone involved. The lovely thing is that they usually came to the same conclusions through their different process.
Interesting to watch the media and politicians down here who derided Trump now doing a back flip and grovelling.
So much speculation about Trump… only time will tell. He surely can’t be worse than the Other.
Yes he can. But that does not depend on him, or his party, or his advisors. D. Trump will do roughly the same as H. Clinton would have done had she been elected. The presidents no longer have the power to decide anything of substance. I have been accused of being cynical for saying this. Indeed, truth often has a cynical halo, especially when viewed against MSM “enlightenment”. George Seldes, now almost forgotten investigative journalist of the early days of Italian fascism, used to say: tell the truth and run.
Regards, Spiral
You hit the nail on the head Babushka. Because Trump has no track record as a politician, everything written about what Trump may or may not do in the Future is pure speculation.

Russia’s economy minister detained
https://www.rt.com/politics/366944-russia-economy-minister-bribe-probe/
@ Tanto
I’m sure Goldman Sachs will pay the fine ($2m X 100 = $200m) and recruit the minister to its ranks of directors.
The deal was approved by the prime-minister Medvedev. Is he also on the firing line? Maybe Mr Putin is working his magic on the home front and start a bit of “house cleaning” of his own.
Emergency! SOS! 911! Clear and Present Danger!
I’m getting an emergency message from the Love Army. Help me send the following signal to Trump, his staff, Roger Stone, Alex Jones and all the freedom fighters of the alternative media. Make it go viral. It is a short chant that uses telepathy in addition to all the usual modes of communication. Here it is:
“Do not use airplanes, Trump
Do not use airplanes, Trump
Trump, do not use airplanes
Trump, do not use airplanes
The rationale is that the enemy is going try to assassinate Trump. An airplane is the most vulnerable. The usual method is a bomb smuggled aboard; this is possible. A lone gunman is another. And there are others. An airplane can be disabled by remote control or by missiles from the ground. Or it can be disabled by DEW, Directed Energy Weapons, as was possibly done with Paul Wellstone from Minnnesota in 2002. He, his wife, children, staff and pilots were killed by supposed engine failure.
I’m going to send this message to Trump at Trump Tower, NY. I have to search how to best do it. Maybe I’m missing something obvious. I don’t know. I don’t want to be an alarmist. I’m going out on a limb with this one. I hope I’m wrong but what if I’m not and did not issue this warning. I would bear a heavy burden for the rest of my life. I’m willing to risk looking foolish and to be totally wrong. Maybe the secret service already has this covered. No matter. I’ve said what I needed to say. Time is of the essence.
I sent emails to Trump and Roger Stone; could not get through to Alex Jones.
@moderators. Lately, when I post I get the message that saker.is is not responding. However, the post does in fact get through.
Thankyou for that Dennis. No idea what it is – the main thing is that the post does get through. However, I’ll pass it. mod-on-duty
Hi MODS
I keep getting the same messages as Dennis. In the end, the posts do get through, but the message says the page is not working.
Your comment and the problem has been sent to the Webmaster to look in to the matter. Mod

Kaspersky attacks Microsoft as anti-competitive
https://www.rt.com/business/366851-kaspersky-accuses-microsoft-anticompetitive-bundle/
“Microsoft has created obstacles to third-party products and is acting against the interests of the antivirus developers,” company CEO Eugene Kaspersky wrote in a blog post entitled Enough is enough.”
Through reading the Saker’s excellent articles, I now no more about the factions within the ruling coalition that governs under Mr. Putin. I now no more about how this was apparently a coalition with the Medvedev faction, and that there is tension between the two and that Mr. Putin is apparently likely to try to consoladate power by manuevering some of the Medvedev faction from power.
So, I read with interest the news on the Sputnik website that Economy Minister had been arrested for taking bribes. I’d be very curious as to what the Saker has to say about this development, and is it what I think it is from the Saker’s earlier articles … or is it what the world often turns up which is something completely different. :)

They are all corrupt Anon, this is actually your ticket to enter the mafia at the apex of our political structure. You must be able to provide the Boss a card against yourself so they will trust you, or acknowledge the card they already have on you. When one of them gets charged with corruption, sodomy, paedophilia or rape, what you are seeing is one of them has become a liability. Either he is about to rat on them, he has lost an internal power struggle, or he has outlived his uses. Little bit like how a balance of alliances can bring international order, an alliance of criminals keeps our ruling class together. If we are lucky the balance of power has changed, and all those crimes/cards held in reserve are about to be played.
Let the chips fall where they lie.
last year were several “complaints” about economic development in Crimea with accusations of Crimea, the previous allocated budgets had not been allocated or spent on schedule- I think the ministers were , like, given another chance to get their act together….maybe Auslander can give us a Crimea update in general???????Ready for the winter?
How has the summer been-Italian investment, bridge on schedule, life in general. I ask my mrs but she just tells me the “gismeteo’ and talks about the grandchildren………..
Int’l Criminal Court Says CIA, US Forces in Afghanistan Committed Torture
https://sputniknews.com/world/201611151047437373-ICC-US-Afghanista-CIA-torture/
“The information available provides a reasonable basis to believe that, in the course of interrogating these detainees, and in conduct supporting those interrogations, members of the US armed forces and the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) resorted to techniques amounting to the commission of the war crimes of torture, cruel treatment, outrages upon personal dignity, and rape,” the prosecutor said in her annual Report on Preliminary Examination Activities.
Alleged US war crimes also reportedly extended to secret detention facilities in Eastern Europe.
According to the report, the crimes seemed to be the result of “approved interrogation techniques,” rather than isolated incidents.
The ICC prosecutor did not indicate whether the court would definitely pursue a full investigation.”
Yeah, fat chance the icc will do a real investigation, let alone prosecute the pindo war criminals.
AS far as I know the US is not a signatory to the ICC so does not recognise that it has any jurisdiction and cannot be prosecuted by it. Which makes a mockery of the endless bleating the US does about everyone else committing war crimes.
It does make a mockery of that,The old “do as I say ,not as I do”,argument. My understanding is that if the crimes are committed in countries that have signed the ICC treaty that is enough for them to be investigated and possibly charged. Whether the US accepts the court or not.But if nothing else it would be a huge propaganda victory. If there are charges (doubtful considering the US’s power),and the US refuses to turn them over for trial (almost a given they won’t).The scandal will be Worldwide.
A few years ago a Malaysian court very bravely investigated the US for war crimes and found them guilty. Then suddenly Malaysian commercial aircraft with full passenger loads began dropping out of the sky for no discernible reason.
Just sayin’.
Here’s something for those who still believe in figures of “US economy prosperity”.
http://chinascope.org/archives/6458
“Since August 15, 1971, the U.S. has gradually stopped its real economy and moved into a virtual economy. It has become an “empty” economy state. Today’s U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has reached US$18 trillion, but only $5 trillion is from the real economy.
By issuing debt, the U.S. brings a large amount of dollars from overseas back to the U.S.’s three big markets: the commodity market, the Treasury Bills market, and the stock market. The U.S. repeats this cycle to make money: printing money, exporting money overseas, and bringing money back. The U.S. has thus become a financial empire.
Many people think that imperialism stopped after the U.K. became weak. Actually, the U.S. has conducted a hidden imperialism through the U.S. dollar and has made other countries its financial colony. Today, many countries, including China, have their own sovereignty, Constitution, and government, but they are dependent on the U.S. dollar. Their products are measured in dollars and they have to hand over their material wealth to the U.S. in exchange for the U.S. dollar.”
I want to complete some odds and ends before this day ends. Here in Ojai, Southern California, it is a beautiful, full moon night. Personally, I have been experiencing full moon energy myself. Earlier I intended to give an appendix to my post in the form of a poem on energy. I will, but first some other matters which I’ll address here for convenience.
@elsi: I appreciate your contributions and was concerned about your “leaving.” I hope it is temporary.
@Earthrise: thanks for your response to my comment regarding patriarchy. I am in general agreement with the following qualifications. This is a dense subject which needs a long conversation to do it justice, but a few words must suffice here. I have explained at length in another venue why I believe patriarchy is intrinsically evil, although that is mitigated in certain circumstances. Also, I do not believe there ever was a true matriarchy; there was womam governance. The feminist movement of our times may be roughly considered an informal “matriarchy” I suppose but that’s really stretching it.
@Anonymous, 7:51 pm: The Starlight Night by Hopkins is a poem I resonate with. I love his sprung rhythm for its power. I have posted and commented here on his poem, The Windhover, which I love.
@Mathias: Thanks for the Chinascope link to Qiao Liang’s article. I intend to read it more carefully when I have time. The US as financial empire is at the core of our problems. I’m curious as to whether the author wrote this in English or was it translated?
In my earlier post, I was talking about love as energy. I want to post a poem about E as Energy, as in Einstein’s E=mass times the speed of light squared, E=mc2. I neglected to mention that the tarot card for step 47 is the XIVth major arcana card, Temperance, showing an angel pouring a fluid from one chalice to another, with several other signs. I have my own interpretations, like the wings standing for a womam lover’s vulva, and other coded archetypes. I do not use tarot like most others do.
E Energy / E Empty
E is the fifth step up in the suit of sound
My head clears up with my feet on the ground
The higher I go, the more I know
What I sowed before I get to show
E is for Energy if Einstein was right
Mass times the square of the speed of light
It’s nothing more than a combination of elements
Making everything from ants to elephants
E is also for Empty on your gas tank gauge
A blank sheet of paper or an Empty page
The opposite of Energy is the empty circle
Everything turns on the point of nothing’s whirlpool
Don’t be concerned when you feel Empty of zest
It’s just Energy taking a nap and a rest
The creations of Energy are the ruffling of parts
The whole world’s only the shuffling of cards
In the beginning Love made all with her voice
Making something from nothing according to choice
So you do too with the cards in your hand
You discard and meld with the arts you command
The ideas in your head that you hold or you fold
Are the story of your life before it’s been told
If you feel the grief of your soul that’s been sold
Pick new ideas and cards and be brave and be bold
You play your own cards day after day
You make your own bets no matter what fear-mongers say
You’re carried by the Energy of the cards that you play
You deal in ideas and get what you pay
The game is going on whatever you do
The card game of life is just and it’s true
I keep on playing my cards within the structure of Love
The house rules stand firm come push or come shove
The stealing and wheeling are only a piece of the action
Which is judged by the whole transaction
E is a letter that looks like electrical plugs
It’s much better than any medical drugs
I’ll ride on your Energy card after card
Even the Emptiness is Love’s quiet churchyard
When I’m buried in the ground near this cardhouse steeple
Say on the very last round, he played for the people
Sweet dreams to all and to all a good night.
Well done, Dennis. Coherent energy from beginning to end.
I also meditated on the full moon. It rose early to the right of my bed, stomach ill from something I ate or drank.
But I tossed my cookies before turning in,
And felt much better by three a.m.
So I got up and walked a mile before four
And saw Her much more west than before.
And my poetic stretching session ends there, today!
Actually, I am responding more to earthrise (how that happens on the moon is intriguing me….I have NO idea…..I mean on the dark side —-where the Chinese are going, soon—— I guess you never see the earth…..and on the bright side or earth side….when you are lit up by the sun do you see much else, until you get in earth’s shadow??? I don’t know……But I do know that when we humans have a permanent colony on the moon, billions of us will start to know.
And that’ll help us get out of our Egos, which limit our growth more than anything else.
Dennis’ E- poem has more Energy than I can possibly muster, but if I had more in the tank right now, I’d go with the E-go theme, in poetic exercising to get more fit.
Right now, moving on from E to F I want to post an interview with the grand daughter of Dwight Eisenhower
the president that warned about the Military Industrial Complex, The Banker’s CIA, the whole phallic bunch of dick heads preceding our neocon wonder boys by a few decades, neocons now emerging from the swamp before it can be drained, hoping to leech on to Donald’s legs.
I don’t know what to make of her (Laura Eisenhow) yet, but the F (feminine energy) energy is somewhat astounding:

“The opposite of Energy is the empty circle”
Dennis dear each circle is empty
hence we have: “The opposite to Energy is the circle”
and where to go for the emptyness?
mundos astrology discerns emptyness
within the circle from emptyness around the circle
and the zodiac is the circle in inborn
human projection only to be found and
refollowed together with buffalos
and trees and the spirit of the country
Good onya Dennis,
I posted this because I have been a strong feminist over a long period of time. It is really the only identity politics I got involved in, I am much more of a structural Marxist. I originally followed a variety of ideologies, but they all suffer from the same problem; reductionism. Not every issue in the world is a man’s fault, so Patriarchy is incomplete as an explanation. Patriarchy is another way of describing the Ruling Class, but one which hopes to divide males and females to prevent us seeing who was behind the curtain. Identity has only ended up dividing the People, which is why the Elites got onto it. And as I said, Patriarchy does not explain why the Feminine has been in the ascendancy for 50 years.
Marxism suffers from economic reductionism, but is still the most complete ideology for explaining the exercise of Power in our world. In the end though, all ideologies are only learning tools to help new players see the world that is hidden. We live in a post-modern period where there are no single truths; we all now have to become adept at juggling multiple competing truths at the same time. It has taken me years, but I am getting the hang of it.
“And as I said, patriarchy does not explain why the Feminine has been in the ascendancy for 50 years.”
You are right and even more than 50 years …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_suffrage
“we all now have to become adept at juggling multiple competing truths at the same time”
Your approach is the adult one of thinking, similar to my way from early Marx 50 years ago, (“Philosophy nd Nationaleconomy”) with his concept of alianation as the existential category of man in capitalism. Mars there predicted the complete suspension of all holy, moral, and social borders of deceny by capitalism, as we are witnessing as a 100% truthfull prediction.
To the femal ascendancy in that context I wrote a contribution:

Cheers Mundano,
The hard part is navigating without a fixed compass. I was listening to Obama’s speech last night in Greece (his best one in eight years I reckon, a little like Ike, only told the truth when he was leaving). I found I agreed with much of it, and it reminded me why I supported Globalisation in the first place. But then I had to slap myself and remember that under US leadership, Globalisation is Empire. Without the certainty of ideology and dogma, it is a constant challenge to keep your ship sailing straight. The only compass I have is my morality, simple Truths that are inalienable. The Golden Rule, self-determination, Democracy, justice. Sometimes I envy the blissfully ignorant. Instead we are all Queens/Kings of Pain.
King of Pain
The Police
There’s a little black spot on the sun today
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
There’s a black hat caught in a high tree top
There’s a flag pole rag and the wind won’t stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain…
There’s a little black spot on the sun today
That’s my soul up there.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a black hat caught in a high tree top
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a flag pole rag and the wind won’t stop
That’s my soul up there.
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain…
There’s a fossil that’s trapped in a high cliff wall
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a blue whale beached by a springtime’s ebb
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a butterfly trapped in a spider’s web
That’s my soul up there.
I’ve stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain…
There’s a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There’s a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There’s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There’s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
King of pain…
There’s a red fox torn by a huntsman’s pack
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a black-winged gull with a broken back
That’s my soul up there.
There’s a little black spot on the sun today.
It’s the same old thing as yesterday,
I’ve stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain.
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign,
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain.
King of pain [3x]
I’ll always be king of pain… [4x and fading]
Spoken with soul. My soul resonates with the soul of this poem. Thanks.
Mr. Leary …great poem ! I see you are back stronger than ever and, out of the whirlwind of your being, pure gems are tossed up for our pleasure.
The tone “e” is in fact very enigmatic, as well as ‘energetic and empty’ as mentioned above, and it got me thinking, it’s a wonderful concept, that tones of music have qualities, that they are living. Here is a something that may express the energy and enigma of what is known and what is as yet, unknown, even emptiness.
Chopin Prelude Op.28 No.9 in E Major Largo Martha Argerich
Thanks. I listened to a couple versions. Visually, the “e” when in hand script is a mirror image of the number 9, and symbolizes the archetypal spiral, embedded in nature from spiraling galaxies to the hair spiral on the top of our heads to the vineyard vines of this virtual vineyard.
It’s about 6:30 am here in Ojai, Ca. The sun is about to rise over the eastern hills while the full supermoon is about to sink over the western hills. A rare moment in time of splendor and beauty. I’m in an “odds and ends” mood.
“I plan it all and I take my place
You break your promise all over the place
You promised to love me but what do I see
Just you comin’ and spillin’ juice over me
Odds and ends, odds and ends
Lost time is not found again”
Savor the sexual innuendo and see the need for love while I go outside and take in the dance of Sister Moon and Brother Sun…
…Just came in. I’m literally and physically feeling whoozy, dizzy and losing my balance. I had to walk carefully with my feet spread more widely and ready to drop to my hands and knees if I felt too faint.
The supermoon gradually sank below the western hill while a higher crest nearby became illumined by pink from the sun still below the eastern hills. A golden glow is rising there, making everything brighter and brighter.
I was walking among the sacred geometry sexual art expressions in stones, rock, wood, iron rods, adobe buildings and glass objects and windows. A sleeping real-life feminine beauty in a hobbit house and a sacred feminine and masculine greenhouse to the west and a vulva shrine to the east; where a lover form lies on the east hill crest opposite a Venus mound mount in the west. Womb and phallus forms all around. Love at play in the dawn of the day. Now the sun splashes golden light on all the western hills. The eastern hills grow brighter and more golden as the minutes pass. Soon all will be warmed in the glowing sun.
I wanted to talk about something that could sum up all this beauty and energy which of course is impossible; all we can do is pick up the traces with odds and ends. Still, it is a dream of poets and philosophers where there’s a method in the madness.
There’s at least two options: the holistic and the dualistic which are really unistic. They’re tendencies toward the extremes. The holistic tends toward one seamless weave of reality while the dualistic tends toward a supernatural separated from the natural; usually conceived of as God as a Supreme Being who reveals himself to the natural world which he has created.
God represents the unknowable mystery behind revelation which we access by faith. It posits a chasm that can only be crossed by God’s grace. This would be the patriarchal view of patriarchal priest Patriarchs. Its model is the masculine pyramid with God at the top of a chain of being, from the Supreme Being of God to a hierarchy of lesser beings.
The holistic view doesn’t like this split in its seamless weave, cooperative vision. Its model is the reversed triangle-pyramid (actually the original orientation according to its vision), taken from the pubic hair triangle of a mature womam, pointing down to her vulva as the source of all life. At a grander scale this triangle has its point at the center of the earth and its slightly curved base as the surface of the earth. Sort of like a multi-thousand mile pie slice standing up.
Somehow I try to bring these two views into synch. The God paradigm does preserve the awesome mystery of how little we know and the God-less one maintains the security of how much we can know.
I believe knowledge can only go so far but love can “go all the way.” Love secures the mystery of unknowing and the certainty of knowing all that can be known. To achieve this, rational knowledge must enter the realm of myth and mystery. Hence the heroic journey to the source of who we are.
A vineyard Eden is the setting where the journey culminates because that’s where it started. A myth to be sure but a truthful one, more secure than rational knowledge of the left brain. Both hemispheres are needed but they are not needed equally.
I have pursued this grand vision of everything at thelovegovernment.com, or simply The Love Government with a multi-modality approach. The very shortened version is here at the Love Vineyard cafe, bower and war room in the myth-metaphor of a Love Army cum Love Bower.
It’s a work in progress, mainly in the lovsciousness level below the unconscious and conscious perceptions. It’s not about me but about all of us.
“When ev’rything I’m a-sayin’
You can say it just as good
You’re right from your side
And I’m right from mine
We’re both just one too many mornings
And a thousand miles behind”
I need the poets, madmen and lunatics from the right hemisphere and the rational philosophers from the left; but the right one has a closer connection to my heart. “Tight Connection To My Heart (Has Anyone Seen My Love) – Empire Burlesque.”
The Empire of Patriarchy has broken my heart. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men can’t put Humpty Dumpty together again, but love can; with the help of fairy tales, myths, Love Armies and yes, rational analyses. All are needed. All of us are needed, yes every one, in the work of restoration of love. We don’t even have to be conscious of it, or even unconscious of it because it works on the lovscious level where we can’t screw it up, even if we want to, as the evilists seem bent on doing.
Well, I almost lost this by hitting something wrong but it resurrected; so I must mosey along little doggies. I love you all.

If under Trump Russia and the USA get closer, how will this affect Russia’s present relationship with China? I’m wondering as to whether the deep state will try and use the interesting turn of events of Trumps elevation to POTUS, somehow to their advantage. Look how they worked the so-called coup attempt against Erdogan. Although I’m sure the election of Trump was not some clever and complex psy-op on their part, they remain total opportunists and will look for the advantage in it nonetheless – to draw a dividing line between Russia and China, and then move to weaken and maybe even destroy, the other.
The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, will be [was] the closest a Full Moon has been to Earth since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon is even closer to Earth will be on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time).

It’s about 5:30 am here in Ojai, California. The full moon is still up at about 45 degrees, now setting in the west. At midnight is was high overhead. I saw it in the east not long after it rose over the horizon. I can feel her energy; I try to tune into how so many millions of our ancestors revered Mother Moon. Many thanks for the link.
MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/. The European Union’s decision to expand its black list of Russian officials under sanctions by including in it six State Duma members from Crimea and Sevastopol will do nothing to help restore a normal dialog between the legislative bodies of Russia and the European Union and will not be left unnoticed, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a commentary.
“Moscow knows about the EU Council’s November 8 decision to expand sanctions against Russian individuals by including in it six State Duma members from Crimea and Sevastopol,” the commentary says.

The Russian Foreign Ministry pointed to the fact that Russia regarded the EU’s restrictive measures towards the people of Crimea and Sevastopol as “utterly unjustified collective punishment of the region’s population for the free and democratic expression of their will.”
“The re-incorporation of the peninsula into Russia has been settled once and for all. Its residents elected their representatives in the Russian parliament in an absolutely legitimate way,” the Foreign Ministry said.
“Restrictions against State Duma members will by no means help restore a normal dialogue between the lawmaking bodies of Russia and the European Union, which is so crucial at the current no easy stage of Russia-EU relations,” the commentary runs. “The Russian side will take corresponding retaliatory measures.”

Dear Vineyarders!
Here quiet an interesting video from Morris. He has some very good points. He is jew himself, deserves to be heard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9VD21aFz4Y
I watched it. Also read Eimar’s link on Bannon.
Lots of interesting players, actors on the stage of history. Lots of contention over what the script will be. Lots of adjustments by audiences, producers, set directors, cameramen, lead actors, supporting actors, bit players, and everyone else.
Morris has a point of view worth sharing. I’d listen to him again. But I doubt the idea that there is no difference between a Hillary or a Trump outcome. It is more fluid with what has happened, and that’s GOOD. Doesn’t mean Zionists aren’t crawling all over him. Of course they are not resting. Neither should much better people, anywhere in the world. Including USA.
It’s fluid. Don’t just sit back and watch. Get on stage or backstage and influence the outcome.
“I doubt the idea that there is no difference between a Hillary or a Trump”
You are spot on! One is called Tweedledee and the other Tweedledam.
A lot of ‘controversy’ about the appointment of Bannon as Chief Strategist.
But a much more muted one on the appointment of Evangelical Zionist Pence as VP.
A Bloomberg piece on the latest Trump establishment ‘eye-poke’, S. Bannon;
https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/graphics/2015-steve-bannon/
The tone of the link by Eimar is repulsion at the upstart Bannon, and liberal disapproval of his wrecking job on the Clintons. This gestalt is indicated in particular by the touchy-feely disapproval of Bannon’s company’s mascot the Honey (He Don’t Give a Sh*t!!) Badger, a fierce beast that can take anything the African savanna can dish out, and keep on coming at poisonous snakes, entire hives of African Killer Bees, etc.
https://youtu.be/M0wi7Ugct1w Honey Badger Don’t Care!
https://youtu.be/4r7wHMg5Yjg Or with LBGT narration “HB don’t give a sh*t.”
(get them on your side against AZ Empire naughtiness, why not???)
I don’t know. If Honey Badger Bannon tears into the AZ Empire, this might be a good appointment!
Honey Badger gets bit by the African Puff Adder, but bites its head off before the poison takes effect. Then keels over, sleeps it off, and proceeds to devour the rest of the snake.
Perhaps exactly the appropriate mascot for taking on the Globalists???
MOSCOW, November 16. /TASS/. Russia has no intention to become a member of the Rome Statute, which is the basic document establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to the relevant resolution signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and posted on the government’s legal information web portal on Wednesday.
Under the president’s resolution, Russia’s Foreign Ministry will send the relevant notice to the UN Secretary-General.
The Rome Statute (The ICC Charter) was developed with Russia’s participation and adopted by the UN Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries in Rome on July 17, 1998. It entered into force on July 1, 2002 and started operating in 2003. Russia signed the document on September 13, 2000.
The ICC is a judicial body called upon to administer justice on behalf of the entire international community against persons guilty of committing especially grave crimes: genocide, aggression, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Each of these definitions is interpreted differently by the judicial law of different countries but the states that join the ICC Charter confirm that they understand them in the same way.

However novorossiyatoday reports ICC has in its case book c800 ukraine war crimes against Donbass…presumably Ukraine is a member then so prosecutions can proceed?
American intelligence officers stationed at the General Prosecutor and SBU buildings in Kiev have urgently left Ukraine. This was reported by former Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Markov live on the Russian debate-show “The Meeting Place.”
According to Markov, this is evidence that the US is “slyly withdrawing” from Ukraine.
“A week ago, all the FBI representatives based at the General Prosecutor and the CIA officers stationed in the SBU were urgently redeployed to Romania and Czech Republic. For security forces, this is a clear signal that the US is slyly withdrawing from Ukraine. Only analysts remain, all operative agents have left,” Markov stated. ”

During a telephone conversation with US Vice President Joseph Biden, he discussed the conservation policies of international sanctions against Russia to the full restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
As reported in Wednesday’s press service of the President of Ukraine, Poroshenko and Biden noted the importance of coordinating efforts to ensure the implementation of Russia’s obligations under the Minsk agreements. Also, the sides discussed topical issues of cooperation between Ukraine and the USA, as well as regional security in the context of the presidential election issues.
“Particular attention was also paid to support the continuation of reforms in Ukraine, which have started to yield tangible results”, – the report says.

Kiev Nazi commander admits 10,000 Ukrainians could be war criminals
November 17, 2016 – Fort Russ News –
PolitNavigator – translated by J. Arnoldski –
Petro Poroshenko’s regime has initiated criminal proceedings in which figure around 10,000 participants of the so-called Anti-Terrorist Operation in Donbass. This was stated on the sidelines of the Verkhovna Rada by the former head of the Donbass Nationalist Battalion and PM, Semen Semenchenko.
According to Semenchenko, “volunteers” have come under criminal proceedings insofar as they do not have the right to bear arms and use them in Donbass, since martial law has not been instituted in the country. Now all such “volunteers” could theoretically be declared war criminals.
Semenchenko stated:
“Those volunteers whose situation is discussed every day from the parliamentary podium are currently under threat. More than 10,000 criminal cases have been initiated for various reasons. Noncompliance with the law on defense, the fact that martial law has not been imposed and, accordingly, part of the functions carried out by servicemen are now de jure a crime. For example, in 2014, the National Guard of Ukraine added, so to say, more than 10,000 reservists to the ATO. These servicemen did not have the rights of National Guardsmen, did not have the right to bear arms, and did not have the right to participate in the war – they did not have the right to kill people and be killed. Now more than thousands of people could at any moment be charged as criminals if the government or political situation changes.”

re: mundanomaniac: Per “The heart being the center of Waiver”
https://www.bing.com/search?q=everyone+must+play+the+fool&pc=MOZI&form=MOZSPG
This revisit of the American 1960’s with the old (self proclaimed) street warriors from that era who are now firmly entrenched in the PR system of the beast requires them to waive their “right” to interpret this era for the young if they are to be true to their own young heart .
Let the young sing their song for this time and water the springs of their creativity (mars in Aquarius working with Jupiter taking the whispers from Pluto into Neptunian Pisces at the New Year’s commencement)
Evil is very clever; it gets us to do its work, unbeknown to ourselves. I’ve been wondering why I get so blocked and frustrated. I’m beginning to see how I get sucked into a trap. I’ve been listening to and reading many of the good guys about how evil the enemy is. It’s basically the same over and over: how bad they are with the implication that we are the good guys.
The thing of it is that in this process we are giving the enemy all the attention. Evil is a parasite and a narcissist so it sucks it all up and drains us dry. I’ve wondered why the evilists don’t just whack the good guys but they don’t, because in fact they need the good ones to suck their energy as they give attention to evil. It’s a sort of reverse psy-ops.
That’s why, I guess, I have to periodically withdraw from this blogging and flogging game to regain my balance. The Love Army helps by focusing on love with the strength of an army motif. Its first division is about thinking love. I resist because I think it’s too simple, and it too quickly gets siphoned off into romance and sentimentality, not to mention the new age psychobabble.
Despite all the chicanery and trickery, when I do persist in the practice of saying holy names like love, I find that the Love Army is right. The word love does become real as my breath and heartbeats and I do begin to feel warmed from within, my head clears up and I feel human again. However, I also back the words up with the other Love Army divisions like eating a love diet and staying clear of pets.
In addition to knowing the enemy and his tricks, I have to run my own program; in fact, I have to play my own game, not get suckered into his by using his language. Repeating a word mechanically is a least a start, which eventually will take on heart. I start with the word love and that simple word becomes a search word that opens windows upon windows of change and altogether new charges.
Christianity has preserved much of the practices of chanting and using holy names but it needs to be updated, particularly with regard to love which is of the essence. Christianity says: “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God; and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.” That’s really powerful energy. Look at how the energy is focused upon one word.
God is soon going to become a real man and support womam. The story and the word is going to be changed back to the original version: “In the beginning was the word and the word was with Love and the word was Love; and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
The Love Army has just started this process of re-writing the re-write. God is very real and to that extent will get more real as he becomes more humam. Saint John said: “God is Love.” That’s a prediction and predilection for our times. God will lead the way to Love; Love must increase and God will decrease to his original role as protector of womem lovers and mothers.

You just ruined the rest of my day, Here I was contemplating the finer arts of Geo-Politics, resting assured that I was on top of even the worst case scenarios.
It sickens me, literally. Thought it couldn’t be worse, even though I some years back did some research into the British establishments peadophile expressions/characters, going unnoticed for decades.
One of the smaller/lower echelon personalities exposed was this character: Charming right ? Perfect baby sitter? http://telemarksporten.no/Tegneserier/Jimmy_Savile_Faces_of_Evil.jpg
If we go back a little further, here is another one (surprise?). http://telemarksporten.no/Tegneserier/Winston_Churchill_Color01_Faces_of_Evil.jpg

I just returned from my hour walk into town for groceries. Reminds me of how much diet has changed my constitution and mind. Around 50 I started to gradually change from heavy meater, heavy body and heavier mind. I’ve run the gamut to Eden Vegan, mostly fruit, seeds and lower life forms like oysters and worms–just kidding about the worms. The saying is true: you are what you eat. In times of war I suppose we need the meaters but it maketh not for refinement of thought.
Bro 93’s description of a honey badger reminds me of Wisconsin whose mascot is the badger. I’m proud of Wisconsin for going red Trump, the ace of hearts no less. I was once up on the Carrizo Plain where my former wife has a piece of land and a trailer. A neighbor had a badger in a cage and did she or he look fierce. The badger had dug under the fence and killed the chiguagua’s who were killing the gophers who were killing the garden. I agree that we need such animality to win this sucker. I never heard of a pet badger but I suppose there are such monstrosities. Look no farther than pethood to understand why we have a monster, mobster world; unless it might be the meaters. Like I said, I was a meater most of my life and still eat lower life forms. The moral dividing line is red blood and eyes like ours. No real mother or father with any sensibility would ever kill or eat an animal with eyes or blood like their child. We can call it lack of care, a stone cold heart or the fall of man. Meat eating of animals close to us is cannibalism by association. Spirit cooking pales in comparison with the en masse killing and eating of animals that billions of us engage in. The fact that we are too dumb to see it just testifies to the adage: we are what we eat. If we eat our closest cousins, we end up eating ourselves through war, disease, famine and death, as the bible foretold. Ok, enough ranting; got to get back to chanting love, love and more love. Love you all with honey badger love.
I’m sorry Dennis, I have a dog and I don’t consider him a pet, instead I consider him as a person. I love him and he loves me. That’s my life and I will continue that way as long as I live. If in the Heaven or whatever we name it after our dead, there are no dogs, I will live that place. That’s me ! what others think in that way, I don’t care, each with his or her dreams and views. If what we eat will be the judging factor and not our deeds, well, that’s an interesting point. Adolf Hitler was a vegetarian, but…he also had a weak point : loved the dogs and animals.
I have to share ioan’s perspective on this one. I have a cat who I found abandoned in park when she was three months old. Her experience in the wild was not idyllic – some other animal bit her hind leg, and it developed into a large absess. And she had disgusting amounts of ear mites. A kindly lady from the nearby trailor park was leaving kibble for her to eat. Her and I have spent 10 years together, and I consider her as a companion. She’s still afraid of being left outside and not allowed back in, it seems. She’ll wail and start losing hair if she’s left out much longer than she wants to be. So while I understand the argument about pethood, it doesn’t encompass my experience. I consider myself to have been appointed by God as a caretaker and companion for this cat. :-)
Thanks for your honest response. You are not alone. I understand Saker has four dogs. You probably speak for many here. It was clearly done. My former wife has a dog and a cat. Most people here where I live have dogs and cats. Pets are obviously fulfilling a deep human need. We can agree to disagree and express our views freely here.
I’ve never suggested anyone abandon their pets. I am suggesting that we think about the issue from a long range perspective. I love free animals and have sympathy for pets, and communicate with both. Say hi to your dog. He or she is lucky to have you.
Dennis, I think that this rejection of pethood that you are proposing stems from a desire to relinquish the need to ‘posess’ everything? To see other beings as objects to posess? In your comments both on patriarchy and the Love Government, I frequently see you put forward this realization that the desire to claim ownership or possession of other living things is a fundamental obstacle to experiencing and expressing love.
You express my position well; I could not state it better.
Dear Dennis,
This a very clear and moral position you hold. I can see the part of this where we are dominating their species and not allowing them self-determination. But at the same time, the Canine and Feline species are now one of the most successful on the planet due to their alliance with Homo Sapiens. One day I was sitting in my lounge room with my dog sitting at one knee, and my cat at the other and I laughed; an Ape, a Dog and a Cat sitting together, sounds like the opening line of a joke :)
The part of this relationship which I thought you would approve of is the love that is shared between these species. Many people treat their dogs as people, even as their very own children. I see more love shared between dogs and humans than between people themselves. Dogs, cats and people form families because we are all advanced social animals and we understand each others needs. I see the relationship as primarily symbiotic, so I have not opposed it.
Having said that, I am not much of a dog person. To me a dog is more of a work animal; as the male of the house I rely on my dog to help me defend the perimeter and keep watch while we sleep. I take responsibility for my dogs emotional needs, but I am not a big fan. I understand why people like dogs, they value their unconditional love. To me this cheapens it, it is too easy. I am a cat person because you need to earn your cat’s love; this is way more valuable to me. And they are so damn cute.
Thanks Dennis for offering a whole new angle on these relationships, I will mull it over.
You are correct that I value love wherever it is found. The background to my position is to stop war by discovering its causes. There is something that the majority of us are doing which causes war unconsciously. We cannot blame it all on the elites, who use our energy by making us proxies for their evil pogroms and programs.
We have made ourselves pets of empire; we may consciously deny it but the facts speak for themselves. Even if we get to a multi-polar world, thanks to Russia, we will still have to deal with the class system where some are masters and some pets. Under the surface there are forces that reinforce each other with a cross-over effect. If billions of people actually or by sympathy make pets of a weaker species, by the law of karmic love, psychopaths within our own species and perhaps species more powerful than ourselves will make pets of us.
Emotional bonding is a wonderful thing. But it needs to align with the order of love which gives freedom to each species. It is argued that pets choose people to be their masters. By the same argument, we can choose to be slaves of empire for the perks and goodies but that does not make it right. As far as I know, even animals do not make other animals their pets.
Thanks for your input. I, too, mull this over because it is vital to our survival and humanity.
@ moderators
Thanks for fixing the quirk I had when I posted, the message that saker.is could not be found. Seems normal now.
Another suggestion. I frequently visit the cafe but have to go through time consuming steps. The cafe is no longer on the top bars so I have to hit the playlist, scroll down to the cafes, click there, then click on the current one, scroll down to the text or posting portal and finally get to business. A posting plateau at the bottom I think would also save time. The feature of a down arrow to get quickly to the bottom is great, btw. If I could click on the current cafe on the top of the main page and go directly to it, it would facilitate matters for cafe addicts like me. Thanks for the great job you are doing. PS, btw, I really appreciate this older format; the new one got to be a mess with the narrowing columns, almost to one letter width and then nothing at all. Diminishing returns to be sure.

Hi there.
From your comments I assume that you are using a smartphone or small tablet. I don’t use either, and obviously do not have any of the problems you describe.
It is, however, virtually impossible to make a website like this (or many others) to be perfect for all platforms, compromises have to be made. When I make web-sites, or alterations to existing ones I can test with one tab/click how it looks on phones or tablets, and alter accordingly. Takes 5 seconds, but as I said you will have to compromise more often than not.
This site is made with Word-Press, which offers almost unlimited possibilities (if you are devoted).
I don’t use it much, because I do not have the need.
Reason why I do not use smart-phones or tablets is plain and simple. As tools they are insufficient in almost every aspects of my work and needs.
Read your posts about the full-moon. Wanted you link to one of my very best photo’s of the moon.
Not accessible on this workstation though at the moment, so have a look at this one instead.
It’s a photo from my home planet, looking up (down) at what appears to be Paradise. It is not, as we all know.
File is 10 mb., and looks much better on a fairly big screen.
Enjoy:

Wow. What an incredible shot. I like the switching of perspectives. If we could see our planet from earth like this, it might improve our consciousness. Two earths close enough to travel between. Truly, we live on a potential paradise; we can have a paradise by just changing our perspective. We’ve just got to fix ourselves for the planet’s sake.
I have a regular HP laptop, my only communication device. I’m quite limited in my tech know-how. Your picture is a keeper; something I will long remember. One picture is worth a thousand words.
Amazing shot.
It’s now my phone wallpaper – thanks.
Not sure I understand. At the top of the web page is a box labeled ‘Cafe’ It located below on a line of clickable ‘boxed’ starting with ‘All News’ ‘War News’ ‘Watch’ …. ‘Cafe’. Click on the Cafe box, it will take you to the Cafe section and select the cafe you want to enter. Does this not work or is not what you are requesting?.
Regards
Herb (webmaster)
Yes, I noticed that last night after I posted my comment. I was surprised to see it because I didn’t see it before. Either I didn’t notice it, which I think is unlikely, or there was some kind of paranormal event like telepathy or articifical intelligence on the part of the internet machines. Anyway, I’m glad to have the feature back. Thanks.
Oh, one other thing. If I post and click back and want to post again, I get the old text in the new box, which I have to delete by backspacing before entering the new comment. Instead of doing that if the post is long, I sign out and then sign back in. No wonder that this site is number one for frequency of the eight boxes Google conveniently provides. Bear in mind that I am a rude when it comes to internet savvy. If that doesn’t make sense, forget it.
clicking back and getting the prior page is expected behavior (meaning of back click). What you could try is click the ‘cafe’ button on the top upper right and then click on the cafe you want to enter. thats two mouse clicks versus a sign off .. sign on and then clicking to where you want to go

Thanks. I think I was just doing that without clicking on cafe and it works well.
Just to set the scene in my little dream, it’s still dark this morning with the now waning supermoon high overhead, after a windy night that stirred things up here in Southern Cal sixty miles north of LA and a dozen miles from the Peaceful Pacific.
Last night I was re-reading the comments on this soon to be archived cafe, and noticed that I missed Earthrise’s comment: “Patriarchy does not explain Feminism’s ascendancy for fifty years.” That piqued my interest.
In my cosmology, patriarchy has been around for 75,000 years so 50 years is a mere blip which may be gone soon in the revival of the white male Trumpers. For me, no other concept has the explanatory power for evil that patriarchy does. In our culture of knuckle-draggers and numbskulls, explanatory concepts hardly register, much less ones like patriarchy.
Somewhere in the basement archives I’ve listed the sources for my position on patriarchy; like gene studies, archeology, ancient texts and deconstruction science, etc. For simplicity, I condense the complex matter. Our species appeared 100,000 years ago rather suddenly and miraculously after a long animal development; in womam: fur-less, no facial hair, developed breasts, rounded hips, pronounced menstruation moon cycles, and awesome sexual capabilities at all times. Men developed large penises to stand up to her sexual powers. Even today, men have clitoris’s inside their penises and also have vestigial uterus’s.
For 25,000 years we had our Camelot moment called Paradise, centered on Eve and Eden; the latter meaning “pleasure where waters flow.” The reference is not just to land but to the ejaculatory waters of Eve.
The came the “fall of man,” quite literally. Jealous anti-love and anti-Eve thoughts by the first patriarchs led to the wholesale overthrow of our natural love culture. The world was turned on its head, leading to what we have today.
I don’t feel like going into the details of this sordid story because I’ve already done it so often and this cafe is soon going into a black hole. But let me say that I’ve read quite a few books in the day about patriarchy from Simone de Beauvoir to Andrea Dworkin and no feminist that I know of has gone back to the source of patriarchy.
Feminism is a reaction to patriarchy. I think feminism’s ascendancy is illusionary and short-lived. At the highest levels, the glass ceiling remains. The token women are not womem, because they may have female bodies but their souls have been sold to patriarchal values. What do we expect when half the human race over the millenia have been treated worse than domesticated animals, and then acquire some freedom, thanks to political agitation? Women and animals do take their revenge.
Feminism woke some women up which resulted in rage against men. It’s only natural. Andrea goes a little far by saying all intercourse is rape but she is telling a half-truth. Most men are wimps so what are women supposed to do? Can you really love a wimp with a limp you know what? At any rate, there has been a backlash on feminism led by women that has broken feminism into a thousand splinters.
I could go on and on but to what avail? Patriarchy is the great evil because it overthrew the natural love order for its never-ending new world orders. It made womem into woMEN (sorry for the capitals but I don’t know how to underline or italicize). All women today, including feminists, have been co-opted and brainwashed by patriarchy. The most intelligent still cling to the word “goddess,” which betrays their ignorance about the power of language; adding an “ess” or dress to God hardly establishes independence.
The light is flooding the landscape so I need to escape before this cafe does. I love you all from my inner anima who I call Denise, a brown skinned Brownsville Honey Badger.
Found this article by an Armenian American exposing long-term collusion between Erdogan and the Anti/Defamation League in preventing recognition of the Armenian genocide:
http://www.atour.com/~aahgn/news/20160623a.html
Note with interest the ADL was also involved in lobbying for a gas pipeline in Azerbhaijan – a ‘human rights’ issue?
The ADL is clearly a front for resource-control and extortion by the usual suspects.
One of Trump’s reforms should be to reclassify these fake NGOs and prosecute their members for fraud.

WTF? There is already a hellish pissed breath blowing from DC about it… ;)
Hi All! I´v been wondering about some videos I saw on youtube on one of my late night forays into the weird. I can´t provide the link, but one was about Huma Abedin and leaked letter to her brother. Honestly, its probably a hoax, but I would like to know. Strange about her background and connections to Saudi Terrorists and jihadi education. Is that just slander? Why was she given security clearance so early on?
OK, one other concern. Mark Crispin Miller runs a site called newsfromunderground out of New York. He provides data that indicates electoral fraud in all 4 battleground states, and other anomalies. sort of like what the DNC did for Hills in the primary. But no one on the rabid democratic side is saying anything. They are not challenging the results. Not a peep. How weird is that? How many ways are we being played here?
Also, how very useless is all the punditry that always accepts unverifiable results? We don´t even know how the voting really went.
And all of his violent demonstrations that the media and other actors seem to be egging on. The divide and conquer is back in the form of a good old race war. Strange days indeed. I´d appreciate any info or comments on these topics.

A Kremlin insider has said that Vladimir Putin plans to call a snap election in 2017 and step down as president in an interview he gave with a Russian newspaper – taken down soon after its online publication.
Professor at Moscow State Institute of international Relations, Valery Solovei, is known for his accurate forecasts about Kremlin politics. He had correctly predicted that Anton Vaino would replace Sergei Ivanov as the president’s chief of staff.
