The salt of the earth. The common man and woman. The redneck deplorable waking up.
I like Kent’s post Tuesday
/moveable-feast-cafe-2017-02-06/#comment-319807
which I just caught up with today. I have to go back to open all the pictures, but I got the gist, I think.
Yesterday was a sad day. But there is hope. They’re after Putin and even Trump but Joe Blow is waking up. Slowly. That’s what “they” are really afraid of. Children becoming real men and women, throwing off their chains.
It took most Americans decades to face the facts of the JFK assassination. I think the elites are fully aware that a hit would be very much more dangerous for them today. That tens of millions of TV sets would be turfed the day after. So, while all options are “on the table” their continued mass mind control is much shakier now.
Because it’s humorous and humor moves the stuck mind, I have to relate watching a 2 day old video of Alex Jones Tuesday. He was in DC, on the street on SuperBowl Sunday pointing toward the Capitol building at the end of the long avenue he was standing on, and then toward the local stadium, down another. Repeatedly going back and forth saying “I already know who’ll win the game today: The Empire. This is Rome, folks. There’s the Roman Senate over there. And there’s the Coliseum to distract us.”
Mr Salt of the Earth. And a lot of those rednecks being big kids, jumping into pools of mud are also waking up. In their own way. They are Alex’s audience.
In time? Enough? I don’t know.
Controlled websites push the mind control, the 1000% increase in Lady Gaga’s sales of her crap “art” after singing perverse shit while being lowered by cable from the roof of the stadium.
But these two comments on an Alt Media site (and there were dozens of others in the same vein) give me hope:
“She looked like a nasty spider.” (Deep, deep, spiritual insight!)
AND: “The best part was her epileptic fit while being lowered down by cable.”
A lot of commenters referenced pentagrams and other ritualistic nonsense. It is the beginning of an awakening. One of those commenters is worth a hundred mind-controlled zombies that liked her show.
Bro
I dig this post of you 100
it’s to me like like me in my country nest: watching the real
rednecks of the American Moon/Cancer = Civilisation growing
I do not understand the need to glorify “red neck”. Was it because they are white? Rural? Gun touting? Close mindness? Bible thumping?
In many cities, the white people are in minority. And do you think those people thinking and looking differently than “Red Neck” are not fabric/salt of the country?
The expression is an old one. In the south, white people outside all day (farmers, et al.) get deeply tanned/burnt by the sun in summer (March through October). Bourgeois can stay inside & remain white in summertime. Class distinction, originally.
I also read somewhere that trade-unionists on the US railways came to be known as “red-necks” for their red bandannas, back in the late-19th/early-20th century when robber-barons were running the show & being a union organiser could get you beaten or lynched. Brave boys, those.
J: “Glorification”?
I think you may be missing the point of Kent’s post and mine. but that’s ok. Gives a chance to elaborate and tell real stories…..
I even make quite a lot of fun of rednecks, maybe a little too often. But I like all sorts of “salt of the earth” and agree with Kent, I think, on some level of the purity of some of their hearts even when most of their worldly or intellectual knowledge is very limited, or even simply wrong.
Lower income blacks (7-8) on a porch in October last year, who were all for Trump. That was a fun half hour! Gives you much more of a sense of what might be going on with millions of others like them, more so than some stupid MSM poll.
“Good ole boys” working barges on the Missisippi near Metarie, Louisiana @ 1974. I was a couple of years out of college but worked with them for 3 weeks while living in the French Quarter of New Orleans, on my way to Alaska.
Mexican construction workers, sharing tacos lunch and stories, in Spanish on break in the work.
Or, (for Kent) having a beer or two in a galley on a king crabber moored in Dutch Harbor (Aleutian Islands) 1975 filled with Norwegian fishermen from other boats tied up alongside, singing sea-faring songs, the accordionist/fisherman grinning playing the keys and squeezing sound out of that thing so drunk he couldn’t stand up.
Salt of the earth. Not all rednecks. The US citizen skippers in Alaska were mostly Norwegian immigrants, first or second generation. But they called their deckhands (and sometimes themselves) “squareheads”. My skipper called them “seagulls” for flying in and out of Dutch from Norway. But he was salt of the earth as well.
I go somewhat out of my way to be a minority. I find it more interesting. To be comfortable around anyone. Even young rednecks down in Louisiana with bad teeth that were comfortable enough with me to invite me hunting on the weekend. The purest part of their being.lol
“Was it because they are white? Rural? Gun touting? Close mindness? Bible thumping?”
answer: because of nothing, because
they are normal more or less “hard working”
feeling people with a private soul each
You can say anything you want, but red neck are those rural southern white. They maybe hard working, but 21th century need more than hard working to survive, or stay being a bitter hillbilly.
I suspect many of them will still be here when the cities are smoldering ruins.
Not today. In current usage, the term just means largely rural/educationally disadvantaged/conservative.
Red necks just want to have fun

Rome
This is Rome, folks. There’s the Roman Senate over there. And there’s the Coliseum to distract us.”
You bring something very interesting and profound here.
Is it only coincidence, that all the main building in “DC” mimic Roman architecture?
If you don’t know it and have time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L777RhL_Fz4
Very, very interesting.
Isn’t Russia also called “the third Rome”?
Could it be, that USA & Russia, both are Rome? What would the implications be?
Not to forget how subtle “Rome” is influencing all of us! Through the Law.
Roman law, which is meanwhile “international commercial law”.
Here I have to think about the film “The Devil’s Advocate” with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves. Where Al (the Devil himself) boasts: “Through the Law we have conquered the world! Subtle and slowly we have infiltrated all the companies and nations”. (out of my memory)
Also the “Four Kingdoms” in the prophecy of Daniel come into my mind. Where the fourth kingdom is identified as Rome.
Q : What’s black and looks good on a lawyer ?
A : A doberman.
Daniel 2:43
“And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.”
I tend to believe, that there is going to be some kind of transhumanism techno-biology and/or genetic manipulation. As it is written elsewhere, that the last days should be as the time before the flood (there were giants as a result of mixing DNA between human and fallen angels according to Scripture).
It will be interesting, indeed…

“The Israeli attack targeted a military town in the Syrian city of Al-Baas, the Al Mayadeen TV channel said late on Wednesday citing a source, who specified that Syrian government troops in Al-Baas are fighting against terrorists from the Jabhat Fatah al Sham group, formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra, or al-Nusra Front.”

As Netanyahu and Theresa May Chat, a Large Nest of Israeli Spies in London Exposed
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2017/02/netanyahu-may-chat-large-nest-israeli-spies-london-exposed/
“The Israeli Embassy has seventeen Israeli “technical and administrative staff” granted visas by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The normal number for an Embassy that size would be about two.
I am confident I know what they are hiding, and that is FCO complicity in a large nest of Israeli spies seeking to influence policy and opinion in the UK in a pro-Israeli direction. That is why the government reaction to one of those spies being caught on camera plotting a scandal against an FCO minister, and giving £1 million to anti-Corbyn MPs, was so astonishingly muted. It is also worth noting that while the media could not completely ignore the fantastic al Jazeera documentaries that exposed the scandal, it was a matter of a brief article and no follow up digging.
This was not just a curiosity, it reveals a deep-seated problem for our democracy. I intend to continue picking at it.”
In britain those israeli mossad agents have a large pool of sayanim to work with, many of whom who regularly comment at the justthetalk. com and little green footballs.com websites.
A warning to Trump? Russia floats return to Iran’s Hamadan air base
http://theduran.com/russian-airforce-returning-hamadan-air-base/
(Or to the israelis holding the trump regime’s puppet strings, regardless, I f*****g hope it is a warning to the freakshow.)
“…It is difficult to see these comments as anything other than a veiled warning by the Russians to the new Trump administration that Russia will stand by Iran in any renewed confrontation with the US. The talk of the Russian air force returning to Iran to conduct operations from there seems more intended to deter any attacks the US might be considering against Iran rather than to fight ISIS.”
Also, another zionazi propaganda fabrication for israel’s friendly minions in the zio-gay media to spam.
Amnesty International’s Report on ‘Mass Killings’ in Syria Provocation – Moscow
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201702091050510916-ai-report-syria-russia/
“We have seen the report, these materials. In essence, we face yet another purposeful provocation, which aims to add fuel to the fire of the subsiding intra-Syrian conflict… and make the Syrians hate each other more,” Zakharova told reporters.
She added that the authors of the report “are not ashamed to confess that the enormous numbers of victims they site are a result of calculations based on evidence of unnamed persons.”
“In our opinion, the leaders of the respected human rights organization can and should be more exact and have a more responsible approach to such extremely dangerous fantasies of its Lebanese branch.”

US Senators Introduce Bill Requiring Approval for Lifting Anti-Russia Sanctions
https://sputniknews.com/us/201702081050481495-russia-sanctions-us-congress/
This move, while appearing to counter a supposed trump regime softening of relations with Russia, is actually intended to provide that zionazi regime with an excuse they can use to support the “change” to the zionazi aggression against Russia, that they will undoubtedly make once it becomes clear Russia is not going to sacrifice their interests and security just for some empty promises from some zionazi quislings.
I wonder how can israelis (and jews) imagine that the world would treat them fairly ? with one hand they give and with the other they take – and that is the best case. Just look at Russia, they have good relations with Putin, meanwhile they are, through their foreign media and through their people, doing everything possible to make like difficult for Putin and Russia. The same is happening now with Trump who made a more than friendly approach towards Israel. Their media in the US and abroad is doing exactly the opposite, making Trump’s life even more difficult. Europe is a basket case and especially Great Britain. How else should be ? we know history. Israel is longing for peace and stability in her country, that’s ok. But who is not ? Is that country above the law ? yes, it seems so, and that will not bring peace, neither to other states nor to Israel. Then, the total destruction of the entire Earth will happen. The total confusion because of the implanted fear is bringing that day very very near. Then, the world leaders will ask : why ? because of their stupidity.

I can’t imagine a „healed world“, without solving the “Jewish Question”. I don’t mean this term like it was used historically by the Nazis, but literally.
I really have a lot of questions and the need for tons of clarifications regarding this tribe.
If you’re a trying to understand what is going on in this world, on every corner you stumble over “Jewish names”…
In media, in politics, in finance, in economy, in culture, in the music industry, in arts, in the scientific community. Everywhere! And always in a leading position. Always!
This is true for Russia also. The informed Russophiles have the hope that “their Jews” are and will stay “patriotic”. Well, good luck with this whish. I have my own opinion on this…
By the way:
Who in Hollywood is not Jewish?
And besides this “big picture”: I had the questionable luck of encountering the representatives of this tribe personally. Enough of them. If you scratch the polished, nice surface, it’s not so nice what I have found beneath. There is definitely a set of patterns, which is driving their character and attitude. Especially towards the Goyim.
I know firsthand, what they are teaching their children in the kindergarten already. Especially about Christians and Moslems.
I’ll have a go at answering your questions.
I have read a few books lately which shed some light.
To get a feeling for the tribe the best thing is probably to read the first 4 books of the Old Testament which are themselves the Torah, or the Jewish Bible.
Jesus Christ described these books as “The commandments of men”, and rejected them.
At it’s core, Judaism is a political doctrine deliberately misinterpreting the word of God, in order to dominate those who would follow the word of God.
It is brilliant although evil.
Fear is the weapon.
Divide and conquer is the purpose.
Dominion over all men is the goal.
Money is the key.
Long, long ago in more God fearing times, Christianity and Islam shunned money lending and it was left to the Jews to become the masters of money.
The Rothschild family became the great innovators of money lending and got enormously wealthy.
Enormous wealth begets enormous power which begets enormous corruption.
Imagine your family are the world’s greatest bankers and have been for nearly 500 years.
You and those of your tribe can now create money at will, out of thin air, on any pretext.
You facilitate trade in almost all the countries of the world.
You create financial products which strip wealth from the pockets of every worker on earth.
Your tribe now own almost half of the worlds commercial assets.
It has even started it’s own country [nuclear armed and all].
You own almost all mainstream media and it’s output, from film making to book publishing to news.
You encourage revolution amongst the masses and corruption amongst the leaders.
You fund both sides of every war.
You manipulate the outcome of every war.
You create and destroy empires.
Most people don’t even know your name.
Although written 2500 years ago, the Levites who wrote the Torah, had thousands of years of their own history to draw on. It shouldn’t be any great surprise that such insightfulness existed then.
When most men were trying out ways of living harmoniously together, like sharing a loving God, building a culture of trust and sharing the fruits of their labour, one sect of men were working out how best to take advantage of those very impulses.
It would happen that way I suppose. Life’s like that.
@ Ioan
” wonder how can israelis (and jews) imagine that the world would treat them fairly ? with one hand they give and with the other they take –”
I agree with the last part of your statement but “with one hand they give” left me in a state of confusion. I always thought they take something (usually and historically, interest) from you and never ever give anything, except death and destruction to defenceless people.
They know what the world thinks of them and that’s why they act as a mad dog. But one day the council dogman will come along and bring safety and relief to the neighbourhood.

I was going to post this too:-) James should be happy to read it.
Like I said before, Russia government is not weed growing on top of wall, a few sweat words from amateur Trump can sway her one way or other.
Ideology
The stupidity and fraud of Ideology
“Whole I have created you Man, whole and mighty”!
Have you ever asked yourselves, why in hells name, do we need ideology? Well, I have and I came to some surprising conclusions, which weren’t so clear to me, when I initially begun the inquiry. In order to be able to tell you here, what I would like to share with you, my dear “Informational Elite”, allow me to compress and simplify. And allow me to not cite any sources. For this reason, although I mean it really scientifically, read it as Science Fiction, if you like.
Which main “political” ideology do we know?
Liberalism (Democracy)
Marxism (Communism / Socialism)
Fascism (Nationalism)
Liberalism
Compressed and incomplete definition of Liberalism: “Freedom. To free the individual from the pressure, obligations and restraints of the collective towards the individual”.
Positive aspect: room for individuality, self-determined development, very fast development and innovation, progressive, dynamic.
Negative aspect: egotism, development of great inequality in society, even disintegration of society and in further stages dehumanisation of the individual.
Marxism
Compressed and incomplete definition of Marxism: “social equality and public ownership, balancing society by postulating that everybody is equal and that everything belongs to everybody”.
Positive aspect: development of the middle class, coherence in society, better social justice, progressive.
Negative aspect: decreased individual motivation, growing bureaucratic nomenclature, slower development and innovation, less tolerance for being different, clumsy in certain fields.
Fascism
Compressed and incomplete definition of Fascism: right-wing, dictatorial, militaristic nationalism, mystical leader cults, rule of elites.
Positive aspect: strengthening of the Nation, developing the consciousness of belonging to something which is bigger than the individual, connecting with the mythological and spiritual myths of one’s own past, possible fast development and innovation.
Negative aspect: strong polarization of Us vs Them, great intolerance against those who are not in the club, static in certain fields, become easily tyrannical and dictatorial.
The above is really not meant to go in detail in these political ideologies. It’s just a quickie, a teaser to hit the point:
Who ever had the idea, to divide what is Whole?
I mean, a human being needs freedom to find himself, to find his “place under the sun”. Freedom to find his happiness. To experience his uniqueness. To possess his own property. An individual shouldn’t be exposed to tyranny of the collective.
A human being needs a functioning and healthy, loving family and of course by extension a functioning and healthy society. The egotistic impulses of an individual should definitely be balanced and checked. An individual needs the ability to integrate in a group and to serve the whole, to take responsibility for others. Origin shouldn’t limit your possibility to develop.
A human being needs grounding in the spirituality and mythology of his tribe. The consciousness of belonging to a certain ethnics and a certain Nation with specific characteristics isn’t wrong. A strong, wise and loving leader, no matter if you call him King or President, isn’t the worst way of governance.
So to put a long story short:
Everything what an individual needs for a healthy and happy life is dismantled and distributed to these different ideologies. So every ideology has something which is vital and necessary for the individual, but the other, also important aspects aren’t there! Even worse: because theses ideologies weren’t set up in a complementary and cooperative way, but in an exclusive and confronting way, stuck in one ideology you get in conflict with the aspects of the other ideology, but you need those aspects too!
Do you understand?
Who cut the Wholeness of what you are and what you need into pieces?
For what reason and purpose?
To educate us, because we damn apes are so stupid?
Or to control us? Pitch us against one another?
How could it be, that capitalist democrats fight socialists and both fight nationalists?
Instead to recognize a brother as a brother and a sister as a sister in his fellow human being.
Instead to cheer out of joy because he sees that his brother has an ideology with aspects that he needs and that he also has something to offer to his brother what he needs?
Is it really that difficult?
Normally I don’t do these. Actually this one is rather exclusive, as I have only used it “one-time only”, in 2014 I believe.
If any of you use memes on other sites, please feel free to use this one if you wish.

It is impossible to wrote something about ideologies just in a few lines. I know, you tried to bring us this to our attention and it’s fair. God created this world with flora and fauna then planted us in this garden. He didn’t said that everything will have a price, however, he gave us everything for free. We, the people, have made this place like hell, exploiting everything and giving it to others for money created by us. The stronger versus the weaker. The God, also created various human races – most probably He had a plan with this. At the North , He created people who could resist to that climate, Further South in Continental climate, He created people who can resist that climate, Down in the Middle , He created people who could survive and live in that climate, and further down in the South , He put people for that climate. These also varied by Continents and their specific climate. God hasn’t mixed (or nature) an elephant with a leopard even if they live in the same climate. Then every race on every continent created his own language to communicate with each other. Later they evolved from tribes in nations. The stronger tribe forced the language or dialect to the others. This has lead to frontiers between different people, the nationality being born. (will continue later)
LOL. So the god takes all the credit. Does god take credit for war and destruction, rape and incest as well? Should human being be responsible for their own behavior or future?
Could it be a possible that we being waken up everyday, put on our cloth, get feed, get slaughtered for god entertainment?
@J
Interesting question you raise but is not what I wrote about. The creation is one thing and the free will is another. The natural “stage” has been created by God but the people have created their own “stages”. This all is not an easy riding, things are complicated. The humans are on the road of spiritual evolution and that road has many backlashes. One thing is for sure : the Time. Nothing is everlasting on Earth, whatever the humans in their pursuit for power may do…and they continue to do so. In a certain way, people are gods, they can do bad or good, they can create certain things and/or destroy them. One of the problems is, however, that the people are not the same, every person is different on a spiritual and intellectual level, even if they belong to the same tribe, nation or race. That is, that some are more sensible than others. In a perfect world they would be the leaders or teachers. But as we know, we are experiencing exactly the opposite.
Ideology.
Carefully crafted mind virus. Designed by minion social engineers in service of Empire. Weapon-grade use of grammar and syntax. Always used against the people. As hard to resist as sugar, sex and the iPhone 7. Scratch its surface and find nada. Laugh it off and walk away.
What a blessing to be alive and to witness. Love is the door. To a world so big – it could be scary. To a universe so vast – if you start thinking. But you don’t. Because you witness.
Love is the door. Trust liberates. And choiceless awareness dispels the spell of all ideologies.
Yeah, put it plainly, why wed to one school of thoughts and dismiss the rest of the world?
The real question is, how will you choose to defy the world?
Will you defy godlessness in the name of Christ?
Will you defy pleasure in the name of virtue?
To fulfill your goals to yourself often means dismissing part of the world, but not in the name of “resistance,” but as a pathway to a greater unity…
So, right now, I am defying my duties to the secular academy, in the name of preaching in a comments thread…
Well, I have no big words to utter here. Almost every religion, ideology, culture has some good virtue in them, read them all and pick and choose. Why should I have to let some one dicatate how should I live instead the way I choose.? So what I am godless. I live a life that is free of guilt, because I did not inflict my will to others for some god made up by some dead creep.
Very wise words.
God bless you and the others also.
In principle, no.
But in practice ? What system can you outline that won’t be screwed up by opportunists/idiots ?
“We have met the enemy, and he is us.” — Pogo (Walt Kelly)
Nihilism doesn’t seem to be subject to corruption, but yeah, I agree.
There is nothing to reproach about the word ideology – after all it means the science of ideas. Through his evolution man has been creating ideologies to make sense and understand his world and philosophers have systematized that understanding into currents of thought.
Ideology per se is not sectarian and is not value-laden either; it’s only the recognition that there are many streams and schools of thought that govern the way we perceive our world. We all use ideological clues and anchors in our day to day interactions with the world; they are the foundational guideposts to understanding. Without that ideological framework we could not have science, education, values, laws and even the capacity to think outside the daily chores of survival.
The current uninformed use of the word “ideology” is loaded with the negative connotations of a doctrine, normally intended by those who command the narrative and discourse of the prevailing ideology to denigrate the opposing one. Typically, we hear a lot about the “communist ideology” but rarely, if ever, of “capitalist ideology” or “Christian ideology”. I’m sure in the Soviet Union the same thing was said, in reverse.
Like a four-letter word, it is not the word or the concept itself blameworthy – it is the intention of the speaker and the shared belief of the audience that make it understandable because that shared belief is also an ideology.
You cannot free yourself from ideology; on the contrary, you need it as your guide to conceptualize events and obtain knowledge about the world. It also helps you to understand, shield and defy the ideological drivel you get from the rulers and the MSM. Got it?
Got it and thanks for this. You continued what I have left over and not continued, you doing it much better, showing the essence without entering in tiring and provocative details. Thanks again.

Greetings,
Muslims are tired of western intervention and wars especially in Middle East. Zaid Hamid analyst has proposed that 3 Muslim countries Pakistan, Iran and Turkey form an alliance with China and Russia ( Pakistan already has the alliance with China) instead of watching them take out Muslim countries (Middle Eastern) for he sake of a Greater Israel and imposing 4th gen wars against the other ones. Here is a video on these suggestions.
It appears that the Trump admin will be used as a battering ram against the Muslim world for Israel as well. The US foreign policy has remained interventionist not America First.

Thanks, I like the video, and I am seeing it happening now.
I actually follow him on Twitter. He is reasonable and patriotic. In fact, I find Pakistanis are very reasonable, and making progress everyday. I read Dawn.com as much, if not more, as I read here.
As for Turkey, I wonder if Erdogan is coordinating with Russia and China while talking to US. After all, Iran is Turkey’s neighbor, and Turkey has experience many times the US and EU’s betrayal. Erdogan to survive this long, not because he can be easily fooled.

Good information.
But the cute little child picture is a laughably inept photoshop job — look how absurdly big her head is. And not due to perspective compression from camera distance either.
When I see that, I know the propagandists are at work. it’s almost their visual signature. They must laugh when nobody notices.
@ Talks to Cats
I’m sorry, but I have to disagree. No inept photoshop. I could fairly easy do a similar picture of any person with one of my cameras/lenses.
On the other hand, I could as easy do a fairly nice one in photoshop (in high res), and very few people would be able to tell.
Happen’s often that people with little or no experience believes that a photo is manipulated, and more often than not the pictures in question are very small very low-res and crappy photos from smart-phones, compressed by god knows what by online algorithms, after they are first subjected
to private (I’ll make it smaller for the internet syndroms)
In this case the “photo” is 22,1 kilbytes. Original have been at least 5000 Kilobytes (5 mb) in 150 dpi

The only real suspicion arises, when you see the who runs the story (NBC – NY Times – Bellingcat – ABC – Dayli Mail, + all the usual suspects). They play it for what it’s worth. Trumps fault angle).
Apparently, the original is 2880×1000 pixels, which would have given out a lot more info,
Exif data has been removed on all the ones I could find. Either deliberately, or by online compression algorithms. No way to tell, really.
The “bigger ones” seems to be blown-up versions from cheap print.(or a small printed photo).

@Kent —
First let me point out that her head is almost as tall as her shoulders are wide. Not even Forced Perspective (camera too close), IMO.
Second, her face is lit from the right side (left side in shadow). But her left shoulder is not (remainder of picture front lit, with no significant shadows anywhere). (I am used to reading Miles Mathis’ fake photo analysis, and recognise these from that — typical screw ups. The dpi business I leave to your excellent familiarity since I have none to speak of).
More to the point : I often assume things are obvious that, apparently, aren’t. One of these (which prompted the fake photo recognition) (or, in your view, hallucination — not worth arguing over) is the way that even the media seemingly on Trump’s side are advancing the opposition’s talking points while “supporting” his position. As here. “Look at the cute little kid the US murdered” is the impression people will walk away with — by design. The facts will be in their heads, but it is the heart that counts.
How many times, early on, did you read (perhaps without it registering in awareness) that “Trump won the election in a landslide (even though Hillary won the popular vote)” ?
This is “positioning” for the sake of credibility with people who voted for him while, at the same time, planting seeds of doubt (alleging that the Demon-crats “really won” as they claim to have) — repeating the enemy’s principal “talking point” in such a sneaky manner that it slips into the subconscious, unnoticed. If I had been counting them, at least 15 times in the first few days.
(In reality, given that there was systematic, widespread registration of illegal aliens — documented in their own controlled press — and organized transporting them to the polls, the likelihood that she honestly won even California is minimal. And the supposedly “Trump-supporting” writers and websites knew this. Yet we seemingly always heard — from them — that “Clinton won the popular vote”). What nobody denies must be so, right ?
This is the kind of thing I was referencing. Pictures of claimed enemy massacres that repeatedly turn out to be old stock photos from some other country and time with new captions. Claims that enemy forces committed outrages actually committed by Washington DC proxy forces, or are pure fiction. For that matter, even claims that ISIS is the enemy of the US (like that Hertzbollah supposedly is the enemy of Israel — which it never gives any problems to) when in fact the CIA created it, arms it and pays it through back channels.
Much ado about little, perhaps.
Cheers & Continued High Personal Regards,
T-t-C
Thank you for taking your time to point out the general deceptions in widespread use.
I assume that these are familiar to most of the posters here, all though not to all readers
I have had great pleasure in reading Miles Mathis analysis, and do admire his forensic approach, even though I do not always agree on his conclusions (Kennedy assassination par example).
The Lincoln false flag, as well as the Custer massacre and Kit Carson analysis are some of my absolute favorites.

Report from the belly of the Beast:
It is possible that the Soros funded NGO’s might be turning to California as their Kiev-like base of coup activity. Two events happened nearby: Rep. McClintock, who is a staunch conservative in a mega Republican area of Northern California had to be escorted by police from one of his usually stodgy “town halls” here in Roseville,CA because a “mob” had gathered outside and it was feared for his safety.
Then I received a phone call—a supposed “phone survey of 300,000 people” with a vague NGO sounding name. The first question was along the lines of : Which do you believe best serves your needs, the Federal government or the State government?
At which point, I answered, ” none of the above”. Then I demanded to know exactly who was funding this “survey” and for what purpose before I would continue further. He prevaricated by dodging the question and so I said, “Look, I will not give any information that will be used to divide America–to get people fighting each other.”
He very politely said he would take me off the “call list”.( nice kid and even though he had a metallic ring to his voice–he assured me he was not a robot but was using “computer enhancement” technology when I asked him why his voice sounded so strange)
These neocon deep state people work that way—they have “key battle ground” areas in which they perfect their strategy and tactics for bigger battles. California is one of them just as is the Donbass–Syria? well, they may chalk that up to “the learning curve”. This is not paranoia: these folks do think big and they have a 1,000 year plan for the planet.
Seriously, I watched it all unfold last summer from the ground level here in my humble retirement community: How they manipulated the Democratic party supposedly Open primary into a “win” for Hilary–They confused the electorate, bought off a judge and then planted false news stories afterwards to “explain” why Bernie lost.
My friends in Vietnam say–emigrate! But, the battle is on and I love my country–not the so called patriotic love when the military marches, but the love of the land and its people like when people from all over the US gather to watch ” Old Faithful” erupt as a sacrament of togetherness: that is my patriotism. The American people are good hearted and they are not buying this crap from the neocon press, entertainment industry, political establishment. And we are not going to fight each other for them. I know just how P.O.ed they will be when they finally totally wake up and smell the rot.
Besides, would someone like Givi ever have left his beloved Donbass and his comrades in arms in the middle of the fight?
Hi T13
Your post sparks my interest as I seriously consider the decision to emigrate. I too live in N California and I revere this wonderous land. The N bay, Shasta, the Trinity Alps, the coast, and the redwoods are my homeland. There is almost nothing about the land I do not love. But I can find almost nothing about the culture that I admire. The towns feel like cultural deserts. My natural sympathies lie with working class people, but except for the Mexican or Latin American communities, I encounter very little of a ‘salt of the earth’ class of people. There is a natural good heartedness in most common people regardless of whether or not they are American. I can’t say I have found any particular American characteristic of this trait.
I too greatly admire Givi and others who sacrifice their lives for their beloved homeland. Had I a culture I really loved I would also defend it with all I could. I however have no comrades, and feel great lack in this way. Most everyone I know, including friends and family, have pretty much become lemmings, and lost the capacity to think for themselves. For the most part, they are confused about world events, and prefer to ignore what is beyond their daily familial concerns. I try to be engaging, but facts are disturbing to opinions.
I am increasingly concerned about the effects of the Fukishima radiation becoming a major problem on the west coast. I could not bear to watch my beloved beaches die. I am also a gardener and work outside and the effects of chemtrails and glyphosate are serious concerns. There are days I cannot go outside because of spraying round up. I haven’t noticed effects of chemtrails specifically, but I do believe we are being negatively impacted by them.
I haven’t come to any conclusions, but have started some explorations- looking towards S America.

OMG this is such a clear case of zio-gay Empire projecting (and probably sexual envy) that bad as it is, I have to post this stupid joke from Late night host Seth Myers:
Late Night With Seth Meyers
* New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was named Super Bowl MVP last night. Donald Trump was also named MVP, but it stood for “Mrs. Vladimir Putin.”
I don’t have a tv and have no idea who this Beth Myers transexual even is, or what he/she looks like, but we need to boycott his/her deviant show, that’s for sure!
Oh, I already do boycott it, and everything else on the boob tube. How do you boycott your junk email folder?? Sometimes there are some good things in there, like old friends that your computer doesn’t recognize.
Oh, that reminds me of a very old Hollywood joke for Beth, er Seth:
“Rock Hudson died of AIDS and at his funeral in California, do you know why he was face down in his casket, at the memorial service???”
“No, why????”
“So his friends could recognize him.”
Yes, low down, dirty, mean and rotten. But Beth, er Seth started it.
I can’t believe that many people watch “Late Night w/S. Meyers”, or even know who “Seth Meyers” is. That “joke” is really Marianas Trench level idiocy. If people really think that’s funny, I suggest a viewing of the Russia 1 documentary, “President”, for a good history of VVP and what he achieved in an incredible 8 years, not to mention after that. What I cannot understand is an American Liberal (I now use the latter term in a Russian way!) who can’t use a simple net search to find information. How do you argue with these people?

America in uncharted Area… Rednecks Coming – a quicky
http://mundanestagebuch.blogspot.de/2017/02/in-uncharted-area-us-rednecks-coming.html
I stopped listening to Amy “Democracy Later” (thanks G. Atzmon) Goodman and her merry men before the Ukraine coup happened. Rationalizing a view to her page by saying “some of my family get their news this way”, I checked DN site today. Dig this:
https://www.democracynow.org/2017/2/9/human_slaughterhouse_amnesty_international_says_up
“AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL VIDEO: Since 2011, tens of thousands of people have disappeared into a vast network of prisons and detention centers run by the Syrian government. Many have been taken to Saydnaya, a notorious and terrifying prison where detainees are incarcerated in horrific conditions, systematically and brutally tortured. Thousands have died in confinement. Inaccessible to journalists and independent monitoring groups, the prison is a black hole, of which no recent images exist…
In April 2016, Amnesty International and Forensic Architecture traveled to Turkey to meet a group of Saydnaya survivors. We used architectural and acoustic modeling to reconstruct the prison and their experiences of detention. Because the prisoners were held in darkness and under a brutally enforced silence, their memories depend on an acute experience of sound—footsteps, doors opening and locking, water dripping in the pipes. All of these sounds structured detainees’ experiences of space and time, and forebode what was to come. Based on these testimonies, we have constructed a model of the entire prison and located the witness testimonies and the sounds they recall within it. These testimonies are traumatic recollections and are rarely straightforward descriptions of events…”
AI is certainly very brave in going to Turkey to re-create detention experiences for DN viewers. Where were these people when 500,000 civilians were being slaughtered by ISIS? Where were they during the Odessa massacre? Sorry, read the language above and see the selective trauma. A Halloween Haunted House for American Liberals who are too cowardly to view the footage from Syria that’s easily available via mouseclick. Just awful.
Anyone have the goods on Goodman and Soros? While PBS is required by law/charter (?) to publish corporate/instituitonal donors, DN does no such thing. Wayback Machine has old links discussing Open Society funding of “Democracy Later”, any more info much appreciated.

The “response” to above links seems to be the usual crickets.
I am seeing news reports (from the usual suspects) that Hamas has joined with ISIS in Egypt and is behind attacks on Israel.
Naturally, coming from those “news” sources I am skeptical to say the least, but this is really setting off alarm bells in my head.
How true are these reports? It sounds too far fetched and altogether too convenient for Israel – both to continue the Palestinian purge, and extricate itself from its anti-Assad proxy.
Not sure on the second. But you are certainly right on the first point.The Israelis would use that against the Palestinians. The Palestinians have no reason to join with ISIS. They have reason enough to attack Israel without joining ISIS. The ISIS, let us remember, who says they hate Hamas. And who has attacked and killed Hamas people in the recent past.
ISIS = US+KSA + Izrail + See+eye+ay.
ISIS is a fabrication| tool | shell game.
In fact I barely hear about ISIS now – remember 2014-2015 every news bulletin lead with a good splash of the latest atrocities – now it’s well off the news lead ( not that I consume MSM, but I do monitor what’s being “put out there” for the sheeple to graze on.
Trump has just suffered a severe setback. Which I’m not sure he can overcome.Since the Liberal elite hasn’t been able to destroy him (so far,not that they are going to give up on that) with demonstrations and riots.They are now turning to another method. The old stand-by of the courts.They intend (I believe) to challenge every move he makes in courts.Block and stall his entire agenda. Making it impossible for the Executive Branch of Government to operate.The court today “upheld” the stay on his 6 month immigration ban. Which means after more stalling it will move to the Supreme Court. More months lost,without the certainty of success even there.Now that they were successful ,his enemies will use that weapon for thousands of more lawsuits throughout his Presidency. The government lawyers (are they his people,or leftover Liberals?), I believe are arguing the wrong case. The Constitution breaks down the powers available for the three branches of government.The control of our borders,and admission of aliens (I believe) falls within the control of the Executive Branch of Government.And throughout US history has been the purview of the US President.That is the case they should be arguing.Whether the courts have the “right” to interfere in the Constitutional powers of the Executive Branch. If they do,the entire structure of government in the US is overturned. And then the question needs to be asked “if the courts can interfere with the Executive Branch. What stops the Executive Branch from returning the favor with the Judicial Branch”. Trump (I believe) right from the start needs to preclude this interference by going to the Supreme Court for a ruling on the question of the Three Powers. Get a ruling on that now.If the Supreme Court (as I think they would) rules in his favor. He can use that ruling to stop these lawsuits. If they rule against him. They are saying the Constitution is meaningless to them. And if that is so,then they would have just paved the way for a true dictatorship to arise. I don’t think they would make that fatal (for them) error.
Uncle Bob: Simply read US Constitution, Article 1, section 8 and you will see the extensive powers of Congress and actual law making.
Then read Article 2 and see the incredibly limited powers of the Chief Executive Officer. NOWHERE is anything said about “EXECUTIVE ORDERS”. Article 2, section 2 are his “powers.” In this section the Chief executive Officer(POTUS) “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments,upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices…” Curiously, section 2 says nothing about the POTUS being able to create endless departments within departments within departments, ad infinitum. But today we have IMPERIAL PRESIDENTS and a feckless Congress and the US CONSTITUTION? Gone! Do you think Trump has read it? Or can even understand its’ intent? Alas, one thinks not.
Hi Ron & Bob, I think you both bring up good points about how the existing system is in crisis and how the constitution has no concept of an “executive order”.
Way back when I went to college, I had this great class where the teacher outlined how every president, including Washington, had extended the powers of the presidency. They’ve been pushing the perimeter of power further and further which, for me, culminated in Obama’s Drone hitlist. How can you give an EO that directly conflicts with existing US law (on assassination)? Well, the congress and/or supreme court decided to let it slide… or something (bunch of corrupt motherxxxxers).
IMHO, the reason Trump wants to write a new order rather than fight it all the way to the Supreme Court is that he is afraid he will lose and invalidate ALL executive orders.
It’s time that “we” (US) rein in the powers of the presidency that have grown since it’s birth. We don’t ever seem to be able to do it the easy way so we’ll have to “try to stop the madman” instead.
tldr; it’s good that Trump has an excess number of wild executive orders that can be challenged in court because the EO shouldn’t even exist.
@A Critic —
How can you give an EO that directly conflicts with existing US law (on assassination)?
Constitutional government in the US (under Common Law) ended in 1860 when Congress adjourned sine die.
Since 1871 the US government has been a private corporation, ruling by Admiralty/Roman/Bbylonian Law. Initially it disguised this (among other ways) by Supreme Court rulings “interpreting” the Constitution (now a dead letter) in close conformity with its obvious “original intent.” But this has obviously relaxed over the years until it now “means” whatever the Supreme Court decides it means (the parallel with rabbinical “interpretation” of the Talmud is exact. Same people, same mentality, same procedures).
Equally ask how the Second Amendment can categorically guarantee that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed “means” that this completely depends on whatever restrictions the government imposes on it. Or how police went from Peace Officers (authorized to intervene in peoples’ affairs only if there was a breech of the peace) morphed into Law Enforcement Officers — agents of the establishment’s rule over the people (no longer sovereign — subjects now).
If of interest, see http://www.serendipity.li/jsmill/us_corporation.htm
A little on the history of the court in question —
“The Ninth Circuit is the most liberal court in the country — and is the most reversed court in the country.
“Although recent years have seen other circuits competing with the Ninth Circuit for the title of “Most Reversed,” the Ninth still appears to hold the unquestioned title. The Ninth Circuit’s best showing in recent years was October Term 2009, with a 60 percent reversal rate in the 15 cases on which certiorari was granted. The Sixth Circuit got the prize for highest reversal rate that year, with seven cases resulting in seven reversals, while the Seven Circuit came in a close second (91 percent reversal rate in eleven cases).
“But in 2010, perhaps seeking to reclaim its position at the top of the heap, the Ninth Circuit was reversed a startling 19 times (79 percent), three times as many reversals as most circuits had cases before the Supreme Court. The same pattern continued in the 2011 (71 percent) and 2012 terms (86 percent), when the Ninth Circuit was reversed more than twice as many times as most circuits had cases before the Court.” — National Review
An interesting perspective from Jim Stone ( http://82.221.129.208 )
“9th Circuit Court considering hearing immigration ban block again
“President Trump did not request this. The 9th circuit court did. The first hearing was done with only 3 judges. The court is considering doing the hearing again with 11 judges. Why would they do that? Because they know they broke the law, and want to avoid being broken up. Breaking up the 9th circuit court is the only way to handle them obstructing justice, when the law so clearly states Trump had the power to do the travel ban.
“WHAT’S WORSE? They want Trump to file for them so they can run it again! If Trump is smart, he’ll tell them to stuff it and simply take the court apart.
“The MSM is doing backflips to try to say it is a new executive order the are going to hear. But I have been over a few reports, and in the second half, they all say the 9th circuit court wants to re-hear the ORIGINAL executive order with 11 judges, not a new one. And the only way they’d be considering that is if they knew their butts were on a hot plate.”
A little history of US presidents vs. courts —
Thomas Jefferson not only refused to enforce the Alien & Sedition Acts of President John Adams, his party impeached Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase who had presided over one of the trials.
Andrew Jackson defied Chief Justice John Marshall’s prohibition against moving the Cherokees out of Georgia to the west of the Mississippi.
When Chief Justice Roger Taney declared that President Abraham Lincoln’s suspension of the writ of habeas corpus violated the Constitution, Lincoln suspended it by fiat and considered sending U.S. troops to arrest him.
When courts decreed that northern states were obliged to return escaped slaves to their southern owners, the people in the north refused to obey them and ignored their orders.
General Andrew Jackson even locked up a judge who was interfering with his defense of New Orleans in jail until the battle was won. The judge fined him ; his troops took a collection up and paid his fine.

“Authorities in Fannin County became suspicious of William Christopher Gibbs after he drove himself to a hospital and claimed he had ricin on his hands. Ricin is derived from castor beans and is typically found in pellet, powder or mist form.
Fannin County Sheriff Dane Kirby told local reporters, “It turned out to be Ricin. I think it was all contained inside his vehicle, just a small amount of something I think he had been experimenting with. It was inside his vehicle and somehow he claimed he had exposed himself to what he made, got scared, and went to the hospital.”

Russia Sanctions Review Act Targets Moscow, US President Trump – Ambassador
https://sputniknews.com/us/201702101050529763-russia-sanctions-review-target-trump-moscow/
“With regards to the legislation, or the draft law that has been introduced, it is essentially targeted against Russia in the first place and, at the same time, against the US president [Trump], who is being denied the right to make decisions within the framework of his presidential power,” Kislyak told reporters on the eve of Diplomats’ Day.”
I think K was being “diplomatic”. The bill is obviously targeting Russia, but not trump in the obvious manner stated. It is to provide an excuse for the trump regime to renege on their stated intention to better relations with Russia. The real test, should the bill pass the congress is whether trump vetoes it. If he doesn’t, it means my suspicion was correct.
Completion of Dakota Access Pipeline Approved
http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2017/02/completion-of-dakota-access-pipeline.html?m=1
“On Tuesday, the Army Corps of Engineers filed court documents, saying it intends granting easement for completion of the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL).
It’s been contested for months by Standing Rock Sioux Tribe members and supporters. The project’s final leg to be constructed under Lake Oahe endangers sacred ancestral land, water and wildlife habitat, along with communities, farmland and other sensitive areas.
Oil and gas pipelines constitute huge environmental hazards. They’re leak-prone, contaminating land and waterways, endangering human health, welfare and lives.
At best, they create temporary jobs. Once construction is completed, they’re gone. These projects have a chilling effect on green investments and long-lasting jobs.
Friends of the Earth president Erich Pica minced no words, saying “Trump’s reversal of the previous commitment to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement on the Dakota Access Pipeline is as sickening as it is predictable.”
Predictably sickening is what zionazis are. Time to saturate the zionazi trump regime with roadblocks while they are still getting their op up and running. Like this:
US Appeals Court Upholds Suspension of Trump’s Travel Ban
https://sputniknews.com/news/201702101050527597-us-court-upholds-suspension-ban/
“Judges of the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco have ruled against US President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration. The decision upholds a lower district court decision to roll back the immigration ban.”
Keep the zionazis busy scrambling, running in circles. Put up obstacles at every opportunity. The trump regime travel ban has zero to do with preventing terrorism (terrorists are brought in by mossad and the cia), it is about limiting access to countries israel is planning to have their colonial quislings (that’s usa) attack. It is essentially an information control op.
The trump regime has dropped the pretenses, the “honeymoon” is done. Probably the fastest time I’ve seen a pindo regime remove their mask. That means the second option, working to tie these zionazis up in knots, keep them occupied treading water, to reduce their ability to act and provide more time for their gradual decline.
Dakota Access Pipeline Restarts Construction, Tribe Renews Legal Fight
https://sputniknews.com/us/201702101050527414-dakota-access-pipeline-construction-resumes/
“The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, who have been protesting the pipeline since April 2016, responded that they will continue the fight to protect their “water and sacred places from the brazen private interests trying to push this pipeline through.”
“The granting of the easement and resulting construction activity violates the tribe’s and its members’ constitutional rights, and will result in immediate and irreparable harm to the tribe and its members before this court will be able to rule on the merits of this claim,” the tribe stated, while asking a federal court to block the easement and issue a restraining order to halt construction.
Attorney Nicole Ducheneaux, representing the Cheyenne River Sioux, intends to fight the pipeline’s construction based on freedom-of-religion.
“The sanctity of these waters is a central tenet of their religion, and the placement of the pipeline itself, apart from any rupture and oil spill, is a desecration of these waters,” Ducheneaux wrote in court documents.”

“On January 30, 600,000 gallons (14,285 barrels) of oil spewed out of Enbridge’s Seaway Pipeline in Blue Ridge, Texas, the second spill since the pipeline opened for business in mid-2016.
Enbridge is an equity co-owner of the Dakota Access pipeline, which received its final permit needed from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on February 7 to construct the pipeline across the Missouri River and construction has resumed.
The alignment of Native American tribes, environmentalists, and others involved in the fight against Dakota Access have called themselves “water protectors,” rather than “activists,” out of concern that a pipeline spill could contaminate their drinking water source, the Missouri River.”
I am postie this here as Sakers blog is a great repository of correct information. Used by many as a reference library.
Throughout today I have read comments on a number of blogs where the bombing deaths of the Turkish soldiers are claimed to be “pay back” on the part of the Russians dune to the shoot down of a plane in late 2015.
This claim is cynical and wrong.
Firstly. The Russians were quick to respond to the Turks at the time. The cancelled travel and agricultural imports and caused a big hole to open in the Turkish economy. Erdogan eventually went to moscow to re establish positive relationship.
Secondly, – the kremlin has explained the Turks who were bombed simply should not have been in that location.
Wrong coordinates were given.
Also I read on a blog where someone was making a big deal that the Russians had only expressed ” condolences” not apologised. Well it seems they have nothing to apologise for but of course can and do extend sympathies for the event.

Kremlin Explains Why Russia’s Airstrike Resulted in Turkish Soldiers’ Deaths
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that wrong coordinates of Turkish army’s locations provided to Russia resulted in a deadly Russian airstrike on Turkish army’s positions in al-Bab.
Turkish military should not have been in the location where Russian jets had conducted their anti-terrorist operation, Peskov said.
“As for the reasons [for the incident], they are clear. The situation is evident: unfortunately our [Russian] military relied on coordinates provided by its Turkish partners when conducting the airstrikes. Turkish servicemen should not have been in that location.”
“That is why these unintentional strikes [killing Turkish soldiers] took place,” Peskov added.
When answering a question whether or not a mistake by Turkish intelligence caused the error, Peskov said that “it is the lack of coordination concerning sharing coordinates.”
On Thursday, the Kremlin spokesman confirmed to Sputnik that Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed condolences to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over an accidental Russian airstrike that had killed Turkish soldiers in Syria. Peskov said that Russia and Turkey will jointly investigate the deadly incident.

Putin’s Reaction to Deadly Airstrike on Turkish Army in Syria ‘Will Allow to Avoid Damage to Ties’
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that poor coordination was the reason for an unintentional Russian airstrike killing Turkish soldiers near Syria’s al-Bab, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
The Russian Defense Ministry said that Russian bombers had been on a mission to destroy Daesh terrorists’ positions near al-Bab, where Turkish soldiers had been accidentally bombed.
On Friday, the Kremlin spokesman also shared details of Russian President Vladimir Putin discussion of the incident with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“It was quite a detailed and constructive discussion apart from this incident… They discussed issues related to, inter alia, bilateral relations including in the context of the high-level council to take place in March.”
“You know that the president expressed both condolences and regret in connection with what had happened. The important thing is the agreement between the General Staff chiefs to urgently take measures to improve the mechanism of information coordination in the course of joint operations,” Peskov said.
The incident came amid the Turkish military operation in Syria’s al-Bab which has entered the final stage. Turkey’s units entered central al-Bab, the operation is being conducted in coordination with Russia to prevent clashes with Syrian government forces.
Russian and Turkish military jets have repeatedly jointly bombed Daesh targets near al-Bab in Syria. Al-Bab is one of Daesh’s last remaining strongholds near the Turkish border. Capturing the city is of strategic importance to Turkey in order to prevent the Syrian Kurds taking it and unifying their own territories.

Very important appointment which shows the Russians know what kind of person the American administration will respect:
http://theduran.com/russia-appoint-deputy-fm-ranking-general-next-ambassador-washington/
Interesting about Antonov. He was chosen when the Russians expected a clinton regime and still remains the choice now. If true, this confirms what official Russia had said all along that they didn’t think a trump regime would be much different than a clinton regime. In other words, that appraisal wasn’t just diplomatic protocol, but a realistic expectation.
I just learned about this guy
Dr. Mark Blyth, Professor of International Political Economy at Brown University.
from
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/46409.htm
Economist Who Predicted Trump & Brexit Explains How The System Screws You
Video – The Jimmy Dore Show
Mark Blyth explains what austerity means in today’s world.
I listened to the first video (fun to hear him talk), and was impressed enough that I searched for him and am downloading a bunch of videos with him — some on election, some on economics and where the EU is going.
He might become another one of my favorite people.
I don’t know where Prometeus of the Recent Vineyard hails from, but it would be fascinating if he were German. He and Mundomaniac have briefly sparred as Mundo vs Anti-Mundo, Zeus vs Prometheus and this brief, tense Cafe encounter promised an absolutely EPIC match (as in conflict). Or maybe “TITANIC” would be a better choice of words. Or “Olympic”?? Trump is the best selector of one word titles, or summaries, or debating points, such as “WRONG!”, right???
It seems that a sort of truce was arrived at by the mention of Carl Jung. Which Prometeus remarked, showed that Mundo was on the track of being “wise”. And there the thunderbolts of Zeus and defiant chin of Prometheus rested in an uneasy truce atop Mt Olympus. I think it was a Cafe or two ago.
Jung is on my reading list, but I haven’t opened the recommended reading files yet. Not even yet an Jungian initiate, I can’t yet speak on the matter, as atmospheric, electromagnetic dynamism yields to calmer philosophical/psychological “soul discourse”. I hope to get some rough orientation in that regard within a month or two.
Meanwhile, since one excerpt from Carroll Quigley’s Tragedy and Hope was such a hit 8-9 months ago, but the darned thing is too damned long (1350 pages) for the proposed Vineyard Book and Cinema Bistro, I thought I would offer another installment, on Russia.
Why? Because I just finished Dmitri Orlov’s “Shrinking the Technosphere”, which had me in stitches of laughter in its beginning chapters, befuddled in the middle chapters, and again, cracking up with laughter as it ended. 75% agreement, 25% disagreement overall. But that’s a different book review. I’ll whet your appetite, though, with this little excerpt near the end:
“…..We know that all of the things listed below are in fact happening; what we don’t know is exactly how quickly or just how bad the situation will eventually become…….(List of technosphere disasters)……This list may be enough to make certain people curl up into a fetal position and rock back and forth weeping……this is not the right approach…..we might as well keep trying to stay alive….”
I love this dire Russian extremism on the razor’s edge of the abyss, which fits quite well with Quigley’s analysis with Russian civilization. Which may be total BS. But we have seen that Quigley gets the blood boiling and the Cafe hopping, and I will get to the grey souled American in the grey corporate suit…( a devastating critique…but he leaves the rednecks alone…doesn’t know them??).and maybe one or two more, if allowed……
But it’s (Russia) now enjoying a sunnier day, therefore that analysis will be delayed, as my thoughts turn to the more immediate matter of the Teutonic perspective from the Mt Olympus of western civilization, and what Quigley has to say about Germany, and the German mentality, as so much depends on how it now evolves or devolves, as the case may be. The perpetual optimist, I think an evolution is possible, the past is merely History, and the future is Mystery to be crafted by the Creator in us all….including Germans…….plus German-Americans. Like Trump. Quigley (not I) says:
Chapter 26
“The fate of Germany is one of the most tragic in all human history, for seldom has a
people of such talent and accomplishment brought such disasters on themselves and on others. The explanation of how Germany came to such straits cannot be found by examining the history of the twentieth century alone. Germany came to the disaster of 1945 by a path whose beginnings lie in the distant past, in the whole pattern of German history from the days of the Germanic tribes to the present. That Germany had a tribal and not a civilized origin and was outside the boundaries of the Roman Empire and of the Latin language were two of the factors which led Germany ultimately to 1945. The Germanic tribe gave security and meaning to each individual’s life to a degree where it almost absorbed the individual in the group, as tribes usually do. It gave security because it protected the individual in a social status of known and relatively stable social relationships with his fellows; it gave meaning because it was all-absorbing —totalitarian, if you will, in that it satisfied almost all an individual’s needs in a single system.
The shattering of the Germanic tribe in the period of the migrations, fifteen hundred years ago, and the exposure of its members to a higher, but equally total … social structure — the Roman imperial system; and the subsequent, almost immediately subsequent, shattering of that Roman system caused a double trauma from which the Germans have not recovered even today. The shattering of the tribe left the individual German, as a similar experience today has left many Africans, in a chaos of unfamiliar experiences in which there was neither security nor meaning. When all other relationships had been destroyed, the German was left with only one human relationship on which he turned all his energy — loyalty to his immediate companions…….”
I’ll skip certain parts but here is the link to the whole book:
https://archive.org/stream/TragedyAndHope_501/CarrollQuigley-TragedyAndHope_djvu.txt
Now ahead, a page or two, the Classics of Rome and Greece for our Germans:
“During that thousand years, the West developed a pluralistic system in which the individual was the ultimate good (and the ultimate philosophic reality), faced with the need to choose among many conflicting allegiances. Germany was dragged along in the same process, but unwillingly, and continued to yearn for a single allegiance which would be totally absorbing. This desire appeared in many Germanic traits, of which one was a continued love affair with Greece and Rome. Even today a Classical scholar does more of his reading in German than in any other language, although he rarely recognizes that he does so because the appeal of Classical culture to the Germans rested on its totalitarian nature, recognized by Germans but generally ignored by Westerners.”
(Personal Disclaimer) I think this paragraph overly partial to Prometheus, and extreme prejudice against Zeus, and want to end (those that are interested in reading the German chapters have the link, above…go to Chapters 26, 27….) not so explosively with Quigley’s more personal than public analysis, which European neighbors of Germans can critque better than I….I am here to learn from what they say…….::
No, later on that. Maybe I’ll end with Quigley’s summary of various western european character trait generalities, to spark Cafe discussion at a table or two:
“With this kind of nature and such neurological systems, Germans are ill at ease with equality, democracy, individualism, freedom, and other features of modern life. Their neurological systems were a consequence of the coziness of German childhood, which, contrary to popular impression, was not a condition of misery and personal cruelty (as it often is in England), but a warm, affectionate, and externally disciplined situation of secure relationships. After all, Santa Claus and the child-centered Christmas is Germanic. This is the situation the adult German, face to face with what seems an alien world, is constantly seeking to recapture. To the German it is Gemiitlichkeit; but to outsiders it may be suffocating. In any case it gives rise among adult Germans to two additional traits of German character: the need for external discipline and the quality of egocentricity.
The Englishman is disciplined from within so that he takes his self-discipline, embedded in his neurological system, with him wherever he goes, even to situations where all the external forms of discipline are lacking. As a consequence the Englishman is the most completely socialized of Europeans, as the Frenchman is the most completely civilized, the Italian most completely gregarious, or the Spaniard most completely individualistic. But the German by seeking external discipline shows his unconscious desire to recapture the externally disciplined world of his childhood. With such discipline he may be the best behaved of citizens, but without it he may be a beast. ”
I’m back: Since so much depends on how the German-American Donald does (and I’m rooting for the evolutionary breakthrough to positively affect world history……………..) I hope these Tragedy and Hope excerpts encourage further reading and discussion that is fruitful!!
As I can see, there is no German who put his nose in to give you some thoughts. Myself being a mixture of history and cultures from a typical Habsburgic Babylon of times, giving my thoughts regarding the Germans, is funny. My father was German, at home we didn’t spoke German but my mother tongue and I went to have my schools in Romanian. Having german friends at school and on the street, I have learned that on my own. Later on, that proved to be not the real one, being a dialect not spoken elsewhere, mixed with the so called Hoch-deutsch – literal German. Conclusion : my German was also a mixture to keep in balance with the family tradition. Even today, I made mistakes in German. But, going back to your question, the Germans in general, have brought with them a system of culture and discipline, a thirst for knowledge and stability. They are hard working people, appreciating the the value of the work, appreciating the hand made work – hand made manufactures – the art, music and writing. And these are just a few things.
I know what Quigley leaves out…….and it is massive. And he probably did not know it……the Anglo-American hand behind Hitler. No excuse I make for his part, but realistically, it is easier to find truth today than it was in his time…….and he was one guy, with no movement.
But I also am intrigued by some of Quigley’s insights. As a child I remember the incredible shop windows in German towns in December 1956. And this coziness of wonderful toys contrasted with some of the bombed out buildings that still stood there in that year.
I played with the train set until I was 12,and still have the stuffed camel and lion. Passed down once already. Built to last, the German way!
And the fact that the best part of the pro-Lincoln population that saved the Union were recent German immigrants. And today, Drumpf in the White House and how do you free Deutschland (and the USA) from 100 years of concerted efforts by the oligarchy to destroy both, and at all costs, prevent either from allying with Russia and China.
Prometeus may work weekends. And he may or may not be German. Mundo, like the constellations is above the fray and takes no BS (bird shit) Right??
In college in New England, a fellow freshman, soccer goalie from Germany visibly winced when other students brought up those 12 years 1933-1945 ignorant of our own US involvement in The Hitler Project to smash Russia. I knew nothing then, of politics or history, but I distinctly remember thinking how messed up it was for someone born in 1950 or so to have this oppression, this neutering mind control hanging over them for nothing he had done.
If Austrians are German, I have some on my mother’s side. They ended up in Texas.
Now, on the subject of aviary Luftwaffe, a story or poem is building. Look out below!
Today, on my daily walk :
Rewarded
Just wanted to sit…
Being pleased with a fresh warm shit
Some bull-bird has instantly done it ?
Right on my head….oh, gee
What a surprise…and for free,
While the old statue under the tree
Was proudly looking at me.
His head of bronze is well awarded
So many times by birds loaded
Washed away by rain and snow
Till the next time, till tomorrow.
At least I have some blessing
Coming from above
As instant sign of love
Or as a kind way of teaching.
Sitting on the bench
I seek no revenge
Rewarded as I am
On my head with the jam…
That really happen Ioan?
They say it brings luck, so don’t be too annoyed with the avian barbarian….:-)
ioan blithely anointed by the dove
wryly shares with us the fact
from the realm of air above
knowing better than to react
accepts this act of playful love.
Poor ioan
pooped on from above
spare a thought
for us downunder
baking in the sun
43C in the shade
no respite in sight
even the birds have stopped flying
as we all are frying.

Sounds like you are one of the more fortunate victims. This guy was less fortunate…

Yes, yes guys, it’s really happened. I don’t know with the luck or not but surely I will not play again the lottery. I’ve done that with the same numbers some 30 years long, without interruption then I stopped. The next month (that was in 1991) my numbers appeared on the list – all five of them… so, with such a “luck” I decided to play no more. Hope you can imagine the feeling…
Hmm, but what would you have done with all those millions, write funny thoughts and poems here?Life seems to have its own agenda with bad luck, serving it up in the strangest ways, ingenious, unexpected, full of wicked irony, light humour. These little poems and video made me laugh.

Putin Warned Them: 10th Anniversary of the Munich Speech
Translated by Ollie Richardson & Angelina Siard
10/02/2017
russian.rt.com
Dear readers!
Today marks ten years since the Munich speech of Vladimir Putin. Now it is considered to be a turning point in the foreign policy of Russia. Meanwhile, it is also the most rare case in world politics of a complex forecast coming true.
The full text of the speech still deserves attention. We will issue a reminder of its basic points:
1) The unipolar world didn’t take shape. Despite how this term could be embellished, it finally in practice means only one thing: it is one center of power, one center of force, one center of decision-making. It is a world of one owner, of one sovereign. And it finally is harmful not only for all who is within this system, but also for the sovereign themselves, because it destroys them from within.

Thanks for this. The looks on the faces of McNasty, Merkel, and crew are priceless; a pivotal moment in world history and a fantastic performance to an audience (VVP must have known) innately hostile to every word.
If anybody doesn’t yet know how sick the (MSM) Economist magazine is, look no further than this week’s cover, of Trump & Putin.
It can quite accurately be stated, that whatever it publishes about Putin/Russia in particular, it is always critical and derogatory, and you won’t find out the true situation on Putin – nor about Trump – from it, you’d be much closer to the truth by thinking the opposite of what it says.
‘Courting Russia’: http://www.economist.com
Further to my comment about it, I have just read the following in this really shit publication – I have never read something this bad in it either, and I have read it for over 30 years:
‘to incorporate this separatist administration into Ukraine. Yulia Mostovaya, the editor of Zerkalo Nedeli, an independent weekly, says this would be like implanting a cancerous cell into Ukraine’s body.’
The most recent Atlantic mag. isn’t much better, just more subtle, with the featured article based on total counter projection, sly innuendo and “what-ifs” called “How to Build an Autocracy.”
I’ve noticed the MSM,and shamefully RT as well (which reflects the noticeable liberal basis of parts of that news service),are constantly bringing up Trumps approval ratings in polls. They seem to range from the mid-40’s to the high-40’s. They are implying by that, his approval ratings are low. But giving no context of US Presidential approval ratings. A quick check of approval ratings polls show that during much of Obama’s Presidency his approval ratings matched those of Trump.In one entire year Obama’s ratings were as low or lower in those months than Trumps.While I’m not a “dyed in the wool Trump supporter”, I do believe in “accuracy” in reporting. Something that the MSM forgot about decades ago. They and their supporters (even within RT) will use any subterfuge they can to discredit Trump.
My experience with polls is that they ask the questions in ways that shape the answer: Do you think the State government or Federal government will best govern in a way that meets your needs?
What if the question is “neither” but you are asking a generation of multiple choice test takers trying to “game the system” and obtain the brass ring of high college admittance scores ( which, by the way are no sure indication of future academic or life success)?
For example, I do not “trust” the State of California to defend the 1st amendment on college campuses, nor do I “expect” the Federal government to actually end even one of their 7 military adventures abroad.
Polls are ridiculous and no one is answering them correctly anyway—why give anyone any information that they will either sell, turn over to the NSA or eventually use against you sometime at their own convenience? ( or maybe even building an avatar in cyberspace with your name on it?)
Obviously you’re right, RT tries to keep some kind of balance, I don’t know if this is their strategy or as you say, the influence of the liberals. Maybe they also like to play chess and poker with their audience.
US Lawmakers Question Military Preparedness For Korean Conflict
https://sputniknews.com/military/201702111050566159-lawmakers-discern-us-prepared-korea/
“During a meeting of the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support of the US Senate Committee on Armed Services, assistant Marine Corps commandant Gen. Glenn Walters said, “I can tell you today we cannot do two things simultaneously. One of the stressing ones for us is Korea, we could not do that at all if we still had commitments elsewhere in the world — Europe, Africa or the Middle East…And I think our enemies know that.”
Apparently the zionazis have more wars in the pipeline than the pindo military can handle and therefore israel-america will have to prioritize which country’s civilians to murder.
Not the same gold

Germany Gets the ‘Wrong Suitcase’ While Repatriating Its Gold Reserves From US
…
According to the economist, the gold bars that Bundesbank repatriated have different labels. He suggested that the US might have replaced the German bullion with different gold bars bought from the market.
…
Do we now know what hapened to the Ukrainian gold the US took for ‘safe keeping’?
I suppose the answer is at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_repatriation
…
In past, nations from across the globe have stored their gold at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) for numerous reasons;
During World War II Germany confiscated as much gold as they could from nations they occupied, other vulnerable nations anticipated by shipping their gold to the US;
After World War II there was the threat of the USSR to seize sovereign gold reserves as spoils of any Cold War action;
Under the Bretton Woods System (1944 -1971) it was agreed the US dollar was the world reserve currency, backed by gold. It was thus convenient to store gold in New York for trade settlements; additionally dollars that were converted into gold were credited to FRBNY foreign gold accounts;
After the Bretton Woods system, when gold was officially removed from the monetary system, gold was often sold or leased by central banks, facilitated by their accounts at FRBNY.
In the aftermath of the financial meltdown in 2008 central banks again realized the importance of gold as an anchor in the monetary system; European central banks stopped selling gold; Asian and South-American central banks increased official purchases, and central banks from all continents began to worry if storing gold abroad was wise when the global financial crisis evolved.
There are rumors that US has sold a portion of this gold to underpin the US dollar hegemony in recent decades. Edmund Moy, former Director of the United States Mint (Fort Knox), quoted on June 13, 2014: “Finally, more countries are repatriating their gold. For them, an audit is not enough. They would like their gold back. Azerbaijan, Ecuador, Iran, Libya, Mexico, Romania and Venezuela is a short list of countries that have requests into their custodians to transfer some or all their gold back to their countries.”
…
Transfer of actual gold for settlement by one country to another is quite cumbersome, and it is convenient to store it other countries too.
I’ve heard various people say that precious metals are not there to back up the paper which is supposed to be an accounting of it — Paul Craig ROberts is one who has said this (referring to silver and Canada, I think?). Precious metal traders usually do it in paper, not the species itself.
Why everyone does not keep its own?
One-word answer : hypothecation.
“Hypothecation is legal term that refers to the granting of a hypothec to a lender by a borrower. In practice, the borrower pledges an asset as collateral for a loan, while retaining ownership of the assets and enjoying the benefits therefrom . . . In the securities business, hypothecation also refers to securities in a margin account that an investor uses as collateral to borrow funds from a brokerage . . . It is usually legal to grant several hypothecs over the same asset. As a rule, in such cases, the rights of the lenders come in the order in which the hypothecs were published.” http://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/hypothecation.asp
IOW, because it has been used as collateral in so many speculations (after moving it to a central repository) that the value of it is dwarfed by the debt accrued using it.
Hi blue,
Yes some real gold heists going on behind scenes.
Huge brazen theft of Ukrainian gold and also Libyan gold.
Here’s something on Ukrainian gold:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-18/ukraine-admits-its-gold-gone
Ukraine Admits Its Gold Is Gone: “There Is Almost No Gold Left In The Central Bank Vault”
Snippets from this article indicate that indeed, Ukraine Central bank gold was indeed stolen in an overnight heist, and quite possibly this gold was then used to satisfy Germany’s demand to repatriate its central bank gold – held in NY for “safe-keeping”.
Snippet from article : … we reported of a strange incident that took place just after the Ukraine presidential coup, namely that according to at least one source, “in a mysterious operation under the cover of night, Ukraine’s gold reserves were promptly loaded onboard an unmarked plane, which subsequently took the gold to the US.”
Various Alternative media sites reported on the strange transfer “theft?” of Ukraine gold, wither usual chorus of mockery of “conspiracy theories” from MSM.
And then this: In an interview on Ukraine TV, none other than the head of the Ukraine Central Bank made the stunning admission that “in the vaults of the central bank there is almost no gold left. There is a small amount of gold bullion left, but it’s just 1% of reserves.”
Libyan gold
Before the mystery disappearance of Ukraine gold is the slightly earlier theft/disappearance of Libyan gold.
Interesting as I went hunting for the links I had found in the past. I note that my search engines this time for the first 5 or so pages only yielded articles from MSM sources speculating (salivating?) about the volume and value of “Gudaffi’s” gold .
Anyway, found this interesting article on the plan by US state dept and H-Clinton to access Libyan gold.
http://www.hangthebankers.com/hillary-emails-us-nato-libya-gold-backed-currency
On the Zero hedge link I posted previous a commentator (2014) suspects the real reason behind US sponsored ISIS into Syria is to steal Syrian gold. Syria being one of the few countries left in the world without a Rothchild Central Bank.
The rabbit hole goes very deep.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-11-18/ukraine-admits-its-gold-gone
“Claiming to own X quantity of gold is one thing, and reporting how many times the gold has been pledged as collateral is another.
“No one knows how much gold is really in Fort Knox. We only know what they say is in Fort Knox. The same is likely true for the Federal Reserve and possibly the major banks; after all, if the Fed starts demanding to know what’s in those banks, they might have to show theirs too. So, let’s say that the economy starts to really go south around the world. As you know from the news, Germany asked to see their gold at Fort Knox and were denied, so they asked for their gold back. Smart move on Germany’s part in my mind. Answer from the Fed, we will get it to you sometime in the near future. This wasn’t challenged by Germany.
“Why? Rehypothecation. Germany knows that they have been doing the same thing with gold that we have. It’s been sold to multiple people at the same time, under the theory that not everyone will want it at the same time, so we can just move it around as needed.
“This game of musical golden chairs works fine, until the musical economy stops. When countries start to rack up debt and desire to sell their own gold to pay the bill, and they can’t get it, they get nervous. Now, if the economy is going south and the price of gold is heading up because of fear, those people holding paper gold in the form of futures or just deposit promises begin to sell off for profit or out of financial need. So long as it’s a trickle, no problem, but if it becomes a torrent….
“Remember the 140% rule? Well, what if the Federal Reserve only kept 60% of the 100% that the paper gold was written on? Now there is an 80% shortage. Someone is about to have their musical golden chair pulled out from under them. They will get paid, BUT that payment will come as fiat currency. As the golden parachute deflates, how good is fiat currency? This is why there are so many on the fringe demanding to see the gold reserves and others are saying gold will hit $5,000 an ounce or higher. It is theoretically possible that for each gold promise, that it is backed by 1/5 or less of physical gold. No one knows, because no one can audit the physical gold.”
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-04-24/rehypothecation-gold-and-why-it-matters
“Claiming to own X quantity of gold is one thing, and reporting how many times the gold has been pledged as collateral is another . . .
When introducing a new concept, it is best to start with the definition of the words to be used. In this case, the discussion of rehypothecation and how it places the world at risk with the fun and games played in the stock market.
Rehypothecation:
Rehypothecation occurs when your broker, to whom you have hypothecated — or pledged — securities as collateral for a margin loan, pledges those same securities to a bank or other lender to secure a loan to cover the firm’s exposure to potential margin account losses.
When you open a margin account, you typically sign a general account agreement with your broker, in which you authorize your broker to rehypothecate.
Now, let’s put this into easy to understand language. Let’s say that you have ten dollars. You take it to the bank to let them “borrow” it, while paying you interest. What you have done, in reality, is given them your money to use as they see fit, while giving you a small percentage of the gains that they will earn. A bank would loan the money to a home buyer or perhaps a small business. At the very least, they can lend all the money in excess of their requirement to hold some cash as reserves–say 10% for ease of math.
They now have nine dollars to invest. Their last resort is to offer it to another bank for that bank to “hold”, because that bank doesn’t have enough money to meet its required reserves. Seems simple enough, right?
Welcome to the games bankers play to make money. Now that this simple format is in place, let’s move to where the serious dangers lie.
Precious Metals:
During World War II, many foreign countries feared that their gold reserves, which at the time backed their paper money, might be taken by an enemy and in 1939, the good old USA was a very neutral country, like Switzerland, only there was a much better deterrent than the Alps– the Atlantic Ocean. So, many countries–England, France, and others–sent us their gold bars to be stored alongside ours in Fort Knox. Later, after the war was over, we convinced them that it was fine to leave it there and in fact, with the Cold War starting other countries joined in, including Germany.
Now, what good is a pile of gold sitting in a fort going to do? It costs a lot to protect it, and the US was paying a small sum in interest, while getting a smaller sum back in “protection fees”. So, the Federal Reserve had a wonderful idea, at least in their minds.
Since we have this gold, let’s issue paper on that gold as though it was ours, after all it is sitting in Fort Knox, and earn a bit of money on the side. So long as the Cold War lasted, the gold certainly wasn’t going anywhere. Here is where the trouble began. It was pretty small potatoes for a good while, until we went off the gold standard in 1971 during the Nixon Administration. What good is having a precious metal to back fiat currency, when a promise is just as good? Enter the danger zone.
Now, the gold in Fort Knox isn’t doing anything. So, what to do? Well, each bar of gold has a unique mark on it to say who owns it. The Cold War is still raging, so no one is going to ask for it back anytime soon. Let’s melt down some of that gold, just a small percentage of it, and sell it off as bullion. Gold is high and the foreign countries won’t ask for it all, so let’s skim a bit here and there. No one will know, and we can make money.
Then debts started to accrue, so they got brazen and started melting bars and reselling bars as their own gold, because they don’t want to use their own gold, when German gold is just the same, except for that little mark. Erase the mark and put your own on it and sell it as yours, using your gold as the “backer” in case Germany asks for some of it back.
Well, it wasn’t long until greed set in. Those gold bars that were sold to say, China or Japan, were resold to Austria or Iraq. Much like the bundling and reselling of home loans in the 1990’s, soon the German melted gold was in seven different countries with seven different marks, but no German mark upon them remained. This still wasn’t the breaking point though, after all there is still plenty of Gold in Fort Knox to cover what is owed to them.
I don’t know who’s idea it was, but it was a bad idea. They decided that they could sell paper promises of gold being held in the vaults. The last number I saw was 140%. Which means that if they have 100 pounds of gold, they can sell paper as though they have 140 pounds of gold. Now, they can also sell that gold outright as well. So, it’s possible that they could sell 140 pounds of paper gold and sell a portion of the physical gold. too.
Confused yet? Here is where we stand today. No one knows how much gold is really in Fort Knox. We only know what they say is in Fort Knox. The same is likely true for the Federal Reserve and possibly the major banks; after all, if the Fed starts demanding to know what’s in those banks, they might have to show theirs too. So, let’s say that the economy starts to really go south around the world. As you know from the news, Germany asked to see their gold at Fort Knox and were denied, so they asked for their gold back. Smart move on Germany’s part in my mind. Answer from the Fed, we will get it to you sometime in the near future. This wasn’t challenged by Germany.
Why? Rehypothecation. Germany knows that they have been doing the same thing with gold that we have. It’s been sold to multiple people at the same time, under the theory that not everyone will want it at the same time, so we can just move it around as needed.
This game of musical golden chairs works fine, until the musical economy stops. When countries start to rack up debt and desire to sell their own gold to pay the bill, and they can’t get it, they get nervous. Now, if the economy is going south and the price of gold is heading up because of fear, those people holding paper gold in the form of futures or just deposit promises begin to sell off for profit or out of financial need. So long as it’s a trickle, no problem, but if it becomes a torrent….
Remember the 140% rule? Well, what if the Federal Reserve only kept 60% of the 100% that the paper gold was written on? Now there is an 80% shortage. Someone is about to have their musical golden chair pulled out from under them. They will get paid, BUT that payment will come as fiat currency. As the golden parachute deflates, how good is fiat currency? This is why there are so many on the fringe demanding to see the gold reserves and others are saying gold will hit $5,000 an ounce or higher. It is theoretically possible that for each gold promise, that it is backed by 1/5 or less of physical gold. No one knows, because no one can audit the physical gold.

Thank you for comments, summary and link.
And, poor little me for knowing where to extract with known costs 2 metric tonnes of gold.
Quartz vein, less than 200 meters long, deepest part is 3 meters as I recall. Some friends of mine owns the claim. I did the research and very thorough logistical analysis from A to Z. Made a deal with the Amateur claim owners, brought a fist-size piece to a Mineral show in Denver, Colorado (rotten quartz with appr. 350 grams of gold in it), in he hope, that I could find investors to put up a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY at that mineral show had ever seen anything like it, only read about stuff like that in literature from old gold rushes.
Turned out that though there were great interest “for the sample” as a museum quality collector item, the venue was not the proper one.
Before I pursued other options, (stopover in Florida, Dallas) I called back home to my friends, just to learn that they in the meantime had signed an agreement with the local community, only to work on the vein with hand tools (forever) to protect the environment!!
Frikkin amateurs. Our extraction plan for this VERY limited extraction, did include a total cleanup, (after blasting, drilling machines, excavators, small belt-driven tractors, barracks/tent.s and a boat (Island)). so that nobody would ever know by looking at the area that there ever was a “mining” operation there.
Whole operation, including transport to refinery, melting and bullion’s, would have been done in less than a month
One of the other pieces from the testing, had more than 500 grams of gold, plus some silver in it, and you could literally tear the quartz apart with your fingers.
After that, for me quite expensive adventure, I have given up un precious metal mining in any form, and concentrated more on Semi-Precious stone mining on several continents/countries (Lapis Lazuli – Thulite – Tiger Eye).
So, the nice quartz piece I brought to Denver is actually Scrap-Metal in a sense.

P.S. And, no, life is not a Bitch. Actually it is a privilege.
So I got the latest installment from my Wizard Correspondence Course and it has a lesson in how to create gold — as much as I want — a pile on the ground.
So I thought, OK, I could solve the problem with the economy.
But the I thought more about it. If I made a few thousand tons and gave it to the banks, or the government they would hide away somewhere so it wouldn’t crash the gold market, so they would end up just with something good to replace aluminum soda cans.
I could give to the people, and they would spend it in such quantities the same thing would happen, and they would have to beat into sheets to wrap their sandwiches in. But for while their consumption would go up — and it wouldn’t help because it isn’t really consumption that drives the economy, but production of stuff that people would buy — employment. Not even wages but people producing things for other to consume, like in an electric circuit you need both sources of current and a place for it to go to be used to produce work.
Turns out gold is another kind of ‘fiat money’ in that it doesn’t have much intrinsic value, and you can’t eat the stuff. It’s mostly worth something because people believe it’s worth something and will give you stuff they make for it. You could give people money and it wouldn’t help if they just saved it, or paid off their old debts.
It isn’t money, and it isn’t consumption, and it’s all driven by production of things — employment — as long as some people will buy what others produce of real value. It’s all got to go around in a circuit, and if anything stops the flow it all crashes.
So I didn’t bother learning the magick spell. And besides, if they wanted to do something like that they could just say they know there is 100,000 tons of gold on Mars, and lay a claim to it, and sell shares of it — not too different from selling paper gold in Fort Knox, whether it’s really there or not.

Israel Downgrades Ties to New Zealand, Senegal After UN Settlement Vote
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201702111050567787-israel-downgrades-ties-newzealand-senegal/
“As punishment for co-sponsoring a UN resolution against Israeli settlements on illegally-seized Palestinian territories, Jerusalem has downgraded its diplomatic relationship with Senegal and New Zealand.”
The zionazis also made some not so veiled threats:
“Netanyahu warned that “those who work against us will lose — because there will be a diplomatic and economic price for their actions against Israel.”
The article also points out that Venezuela and Malaysia do not have diplomatic relations with israel. This explains why Malaysian passenger jets are crashed and the massive destabilization campaign against Venezuela.
‘Gaming the system’: FDA approves old drug with new price – more than 7,000 percent higher!
https://www.rt.com/usa/377033-fda-approves-drug-emflaza/
“With FDA approval, Marathon now has exclusive rights to sell the drug in the US for the next seven years, even though it has been available as a generic in other countries.
With exclusive rights, the company can increase the price from the $1,200 average that families were importing the drug from overseas to $89,000, an increase of more than 7,000 percent.
The company claims to have conducted 17 new preclinical and clinical studies, however, under their research, they cite a 196-person, 52-week study trial that was completed in 1995. The study cites Marathon’s contribution as funding for editorial assistance.”
And no doubt the company received federal subsidies to offset the costs of their alleged research.
One of countless examples showing the capitalist medical system in the usa is broken. Obamacare is an insurance debt servicing scam which at best put a bandage on the system. The likely replacement aipac’s congressional trough feeders will seek to introduce is to allow people a choice of what colour band aide.
My Bavarian Astrologer friend asked me about my just concluded reading of Dmitry Orlov’s Shrinking the Technosphere. Realizing it I have little time this weekend, and it’s not too private, I post the email:
Dmitry?
Maybe….very very entertaining and “right on” on some fundamentals…………..seriously in error on a few others….yes, I think there will be something more on him
Atheistic but in a fascinating Russian way that jars with Saker.
The Nature issue is a delicate, interesting one……..prone to error both in ignoring it, or going to the other extreme and making it God separate from one’s Self.
As with most things I kind of suspect the trick is achieving “balance”.
Orlov’s book was inspired by a new word coined by Putin, years ago, advocating the development of technologies that are “nature-like” (best English translation) as opposed to anti-nature in the sense of creating a machine (the Technosphere) whose logic is to consume nature, consume consciousness, consume everything, then implode into souless death.
But I would say that Vladimir’s consciousness is still far in advance of Dmitry’s, IMHO.
But Dmitry is an avid student……………and there are many others. I’m so glad I don’t have a “terminal” degree and am free to keep going!
I’m a sucker for videos on you tube that say things like “Everything You Ever Learned Is Bull Shit”.
Orlov connects to Zecharia Sitchin in a most synchronous way in my reading stack, in his short anti-religion rant, with one word, one name: “Gilgamesh”.
I’ll put the quote in Café later in the day. Mundo, this is getting cosmic! Hang on for a fun ride! Lots of Astro-Adventures are ahead of us!
Astrological or Astro-illogical?

Words long past return, not forgotten
In Sanskrit, Arabic, Greek, and Latin.

But a better one to discard ideas untrue!
What will today and tomorrow bring?
Ah, Discovery! New Day, of thee I sing!
“The Nature issue is a delicate, interesting one……..prone to error both in ignoring it, or going to the other extreme and making it God separate from one’s Self.”
And there is a third stage: God i n one’s Self. Here the medievals are great. The scintilla, the spark in me of h i s light keeping me warm, guiding me, repairing me.
And the 12 guiding Images, the Eurasian Tradition has filtered out of all other possible ones, they are to me the holy body of “times and signs” in the line of God’s sons and daughters acc. to Psalm 82. And astrology of these 12 Images builds the bridge between Nature and Symbol, between Star, Planets and Moon and the psychic product of man’s soul’s projection: ” Gods “.
This is pure Zeus(ian), aside from that the ancient Greeks experienced the Gods outside. To realise them inside of us together with many a ‘demonium’ is a line that led from Sokrates, over the medieval alchemists lately to scientific consciousness of psyche and the powers therein.
To me Zeus and Prometheus – both are belonging to us – “Tragedy and Hope”
Prometheus is ruling the younger ages of man in all arts of self- creation, constantly striving beyond given borders.
While Zeus’ rule becomes more visible to the older men and women.
The Tragedy of Prometheus with Zeus is, that he advises men to become
cheaters with Zeus, Father of the Order.
The salt of the earth is the non-cheating normal neighbor, who has abandoned
the wish, to be something special and just by that abandonment opens the door, to become it, simply by time and while there is a place for everyone, humble enough to ‘pray’ for it.
Myths, Symbols, I experience, are like funnels. They are presorting the wide range of topics into the timeless resting structures of the 2 or 3 or 4 or 6 or 12.
Today my sense has guided me
to find the park in Sun
I walked between the naked trees
pure characters for fun
and when the hip’s sigh we are tired
had finally begun
an old man stepped home carefully

Hi, Saker, I didn’t know where to put this but I wanted to share it with your readers, who seem to be of a similar mindset to my own. It was first posted as a comment on a Sputnik article which appeared today on the topic of Moscow-Tokyo-Washington rapprochement. Here goes:
Win, win, win, win, is all that can come from eradicating Wall Street and the neocons’ death grip on US foreign and economic policy. Japan has already offered to transfer high-tech infrastructure to the US itself, while China and the BRICS have opened up development opportunities in Eurasia, Africa and South America that the US need only approach from a constructive position to become a full partner. Beating ISIS merely requires that rogue US military and intelligence factions be prevented from using terrorism as a tool for regime change, and push Israel and Saudi Arabia aside as the US’s main partners in the Middle East.
A land link between Asia and North America across the Bering Strait will multiply opportunities for development of the Arctic region as well as have a positive influence on climate change by limiting cold flow into the Pacific. Further positive climate change would result from the longstanding North American Water and Power Alliance (NAWAPA) project to redirect some runoff from the Pacific Coast into arid regions east of the Rockies and south into Mexico, with navigable canals that would link into the Mississipi-Erie-St. Lawrence waterway system for cheap commodity transportation. Labor demands for this would make immigration a non-issue.
Along with that, extending the Siberian Railroad into North America via high-speed rail or maglev links across the strait could bring about a Pacific-centered alternative to the Atlanticist economic paradigm, with growing commerce and trade along land lines from New York to London. The Transaqua project to reverse the drying-up of Lake Chad and rehidrate Northern Africa desert regions by redirecting some of the flow from the Congo basin has support from BRICS countries that the US could also hook up with. This alone would provide an economic basis for starving the dogs of war in North Africa and the Middle East.
Any further saber-rattling with China will also lock the US out of development opportunities the Chinese and other BRICS partners are exploring to integrate waterway transportation in South America by joining the Orinoco, Amazon and Plata river basins through short canals, as Humboldt discussed with Jefferson in 1804. Inland economic development of that continent will create a prosperous ally for the US to trade and develop good neighborly relations with. Russia and the US have an entire universe to explore together, as well as limitless possibilities in the development of high-density energy sources like fusion power.
I could go on, but this merely illustrates the vast possibilities of shifting the focus from looking for enemies to building partnerships for world economic development. As Paul VI said in Populorum Progressio, “Development is the New Name for Peace.”

Governments and their media never lie, do they?
Sieg heil! Nein.
I have noted that in the immediate post Trump victory as the ProporNot debacle – where the MSM created an entity to identify “fake news” sites, there was a demand for search engines and social media to adjust their algos to bury so-called “fake news” – that is those sites, like this one, that provide a glimpse beyond then!SM lies and obfuscation.
Anyway just now I went looking for some links to the “repatriation” of Libyan Central bank gold – I did this exercise around Christmas to show to a loud-mouth know it all relative. But today – the links I found easily in Dec I could not find at all. I got to pg 5 and 7 of search engines and still could not find the links to,items at global research or zero hedge and other sites that knew had covered this modern day gold heist in depth.
So the algos are memory holing info.

“Sarah Palin may be appointed ambassador to Canada, narrowly beating out a rock, a piece of paper and a pair of scissors.
Dear Mr. Trump: Rather than appoint Sarah Palin as ambassador to Canada, please bomb us. Signed, all intelligent life in Canada.
Sarah Palin ambassador to Canada? Our 2 official languages are French and English. She will have to learn at least one

I watched a video of Steve Bannon doing regional organizing at an event of grass roots activists some years ago. That was after the election. My impression was favorable. NOT a racist, perceptive, sharp, courageous…..
Before the election I got curious about the 4chan “FBI” source that active patriot posted here, coaching people on 4chan on digging into the Clinton Foundation and regarding the emails as a diversion, though damaging. One thing “FBI” wrote was that Trump’s communications with the population were “brilliant” and would be studied for decades, and he had a real shot….this was back in July 2016. Brilliant while being wacky and almost incoherent, but resonating and drawing real support from the deplorables.
Later, after the election, when I had a chance to read up more on Bannon, I was amazed to learn that he had made a serious effort to propel Sarah Palin to a more prominent role, quite a few years ago. Something going on here, we may not “get”, I thought.
One thing for sure, the American hinterlands are certainly not known for their cultural strengths.
The next thing I heard disturbed me more than the Palin Plan Steve had worked on: HIs conviction that a Big War was a pre-requisite for clearing the way for “making America Great Again” or some such mystical conviction.
Hmmmm. Still balancing these things with L445’s featured article here on how Bannon is the “Pale Rider” coming to destroy them (the political establishment)”.
It’s still an incomplete, contradictory picture. “Palin Rider”???
Someone has an idea of how to do something positive with such raw material?? WOW! I wonder how that will work out!!!
What about the Kushners making their largest purchaise for a propiety in New York at 666 Park Avenue?
What´s your point since os keen ion numerology and occult significance of events?
Then you have that, for what it seems, Kushner, the son-in-law, will be in charge of the “pacification of the Middle East”…They say because the trouble there is mainly a Real State issue and he is “an expert” on that ( if anyone can be an expert on anything at his 36 )…
I wonder whether all this plus that occurrence of moving the Us Embaasy to Jerusalem has something to do with the coming of the AntiChrist or something….Scary, isn´t it?
Just look at that sight, for God´s sake….
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/02/jared-kushners-mission-impossible-214770
Then you have that Bannon wants to topple Pope Francis…Well, a bit megalomaniacal yes he is.
Plus they want to attack Iran where the Mahdi rest in the depths of a well…..till the day arrive when he will place himself leading the Mahdi Army...Obviously this army will come from Iran….does not seem very pragmatic going to look for it to another country….
So, what does this all could mean?….Where is Sheik Imran Hossein when is needed, in a moment when the signs are so clear? Where is Duguin?
All these years talking about The Malhama and all those eschatologic things and now everybody is mute….
I wonder which is the role of Bibi Netanyahu in all this…..
Bannon is an enigma to me for the reasons you mention.
This is a good read, but just poses even more questions.

After hearing about the ‘mystery toxin’ that affected around 50 passengers in Hamburg Airport, I wondered who was responsible for security.
Among no doubt several, is our old friend, Israeli company ICTS – the same company that provided security for all the 9/11 airports, as well as Schipol, the departure point for MH-17.
The same company that permitted the ‘Shoebomber’ to board.
The same company that demanded legal immunity in the 9/11 ‘investigation’ – and got it.

I shouldn’t say that Dmitry Orlov is atheistic.
About the only thing in “Shrinking the Technosphere” that he says about religion is said in the context of listing “bad political technologies” that make up the Technosphere, including The Medical Industry, The Higher Education Industry, The Prison-industrial Complex, The Agribusiness Industry, The Legal System, etc, Here we find Organized Religion :
“OBJECTIVE: To keep people convinced of the importance of kowtowing to a big white man in the sky who might send you to hell in spite of the fact that he loves you: who, in spite of being all-powerful, always needs your money, and whose written word takes precedence over using your own reason and relying on facts to find your own way in the world.To cause simple-minded people to insist that a worked over story of the Egyptian god Horus stuck together with bits of the Gilgamesh Epicand other ancient myths is the word of God and the absolute literal truth. To keep alive the fiction that religious people are automatically more moral or more ethical than non-religious people.”
But he has his own religion, which, near as I can tell is largely based on “catastrophic climate change” which can be survived by those hardy souls like Ted Kucynski who move to Siberia, don’t blow anyone up like Ted did, but have more or less the same philosophy. My wife thinks he’s jewish because of emigrating to the US as a young man with parents, in the 1980’s from the USSR.
How did I say I agree 75% with this guy? A NOAA scientist has just revealed that the figures were cooked for the last decade or two:
https://youtu.be/dqRAQyfcXqQ?t=8
It’s because of boats. Rather than kill yourself being a slave to the Technosphere and attaining the million dollar condo, Orlov recommends living on a used $20,000 sailboat, paying $700 a month moorage fee, and enjoying the same million dollar view. I DID that: I bought a 20K houseboat in 1979, 5 minutes from downtown, jumped in the lake for a lunchbreak swim, and sailed my Lightning that was tied up alongside, after work and weekends. Maybe he’s an Aquarius as well and we’re soul brothers on that astroplane. Water, water, everywhere.
I like some of his ideas, and his sense of ironic humor is tops. But I think he’s all wet on CCC.
Now, on the Gilgamesh Epic, I’d like to talk to him. Or Prometeus. But all that’s available is Sitchin’s Earth Chronicles 7 book series. Three down, four to go. Unless Prometeus comes back. Then I’ll take a break from the reading and compare ancient aliens notes.
I don’t know how he figures we were just fine as hominids 450,000 years ago before a more advanced species of beings performed genetic engineering on us. I kind of like some aspects of the Technosphere. Like clothing, and shoes, and hot showers.
I had a hippy sailor drop me off @ 1974 with food and water on a desert island in the Florida Keys once, all alone. Ran around naked for a week with no one around til he came back to pick me up. That was kind of Aquarian. But a couple of motel managers from Key West came on the last day in a little boat that looked like a bathtub, with sports blaring on the radio, and started shooting coconuts off the trees with a .22 rifle. And I was actually glad to have some company.
So I don’t know……..I’m not bitter about the genetic engineering.

More fake news in ‘The Mail on Sunday’
An attack by the ‘The Mail on Sunday’ on the accuracy and integrity of a recent paper on global warming is based on inaccurate and misleading claims, including a fake graph.
The article by David Rose appears in the 5 February issue of the newspaper under the headline ‘Exposed: How world leaders were duped over global warming’. The article was first published on the newspaper’s website on 4 February.
The article makes a number of extraordinary claims about a paper by Dr Thomas Karl, a climate scientist formerly employed by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and colleagues, which was published in June 2015.
This the middle of February, about 100 miles west of Chicago. And we are in a warm spell already, with higher temperatures for the last week — 47(F.) today and tomorrow. Precipitation patterns also changing.
Australian outback has record breaking temperatures. These higher temperatures and weater pattern disruption has been increasing for years. 62 next weekend.

I have very little doubt the climate is changing.
What are you saying Blue.? The weather changes , as does the climate on longer scales.
Talk about the “bleedin’ obvious” :-)
Needless to say , surely?
I’m saying global warming, or climate disruption, is not a hoax, but the articles and the very few scientists (some of those I’ve seen listed were mechanical engineers and such, not climate scientists), are hoaxes. It won’t destroy human life like nuclear war likely will, but can easily destroy civilizations and something along those lines is virtually inevitable at this point.
” is virtually inevitable at this point.”
There is no “virtually” about it, and nothing has changed in relation to the inevitability of climate change. It has always been inevitable at all times : not just now, if that is what you allege.
So far as we can tell , everything that has occurred is well within the range of natural variability , which clearly can be quite devastating for some species at some times.
The conjecture that humans have significant control of climate can be neither proved nor disproved, because there is still no Unified General Theory of Climate Regulation which would allow such a proof.
What we do know with some certainty is that there are cycles , the causes of which we do not know , and everything seen in my three score plus a few years is adequately explained by those cycles.
Uuups! Who will say first: “I told you”? ;)

Yes, it can be a judo move. Like we all know from VVP. Or, … maybe not?
To be a cynical pragmatist, while describing & understanding this 21st centurie’s “hell on earth”, is much more precise discernment strategy, than an idealistic utopia ostrich hole. Or not?
