Welcome to the ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’. The ‘Moveable Feast’ is an open thread where readers can post wide ranging observations, articles, rants, off topic and have animate discussions of the issues of the day.
The ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’ will have two new open threads each week.
The Saker stated moderation policy will apply eg ‘no caps’, no obscenity … etc to all post.
The Cafe is now open for business … come on in and have a good time.
Saker Webmaster
At the mod’s request that we discuss the health items which some posters felt appropriate following on whether Cherkin may have had a heart attack, I’m putting this at the top of the thread in case any wish to focus further on the weaponization of chronic, subclinical malnutrition by corporate/gov’t/Deep State actors. This is a very real scenario where covertly withholding both certain key nutritional components in the food system (e.g. crucial amino acids), adding chemicals/hormones (e.g. Roundup, Bovine Growth Hormone) which inhibit aspects of metabolism and using propaganda/movements (media blackouts, veganism/animal rights) to further reduce consumption of key animal-based nutrients by the public.
I’ll follow with interest and adjust diet accordingly.
Let the chips fall where they may, in the pursuit of truth. Not a pure vegan, but open to it being either possible, or possibly a deception. Still alive after a year of eliminating all pork and beef, very little chicken…..some fish remains….but I was a fisherman 5 years, so that one is tough. Juicing? Never got that far, yet, and may or may never!
To control weeds in cracks in sidewalks and around the edges of black plastic with crushed rock on top, I am mulling the possibility of using salt, instead of Glyophosphate (Roundup, Ortho Ground Clear, etc). Next step is the action step, and conducting the experiment. Buying big bags of salt for tryout on various properties. Way above average moisture this year in S. Cal. Lots and lots of weeds to kill.
Bro, fukushima has made Pacific seafood a thing of the past for a lot of people.
Especially since they just took pics of the hole where the core material has fallen out of the bottom of the containment vessel and is boring a hole they can’t tell how deep.

Pickling vinegar is also a fair weed control tactic, but needs a lot and frequent, early application (while the weeds are small) to be really effective.
Being from the Great White North where we get 7 months of winter and 5 months of bad sledding, I can tell you salt (esp table salt) is very hard on concrete, a little less so on pavement.
Another low chemical, but high-energy-cost method is steam (basically cooks the vegetation), but it is slow going and deep tap roots will survive to grow again.
I can’t be bothered juicing/smoothies, my wife did it for a while though. Too much planning what to have fresh in the house, plus it makes a big volume to drink at one time and it’s messy to clean the juicer/blender each time. Quality amino/protein supplements have shelf-life in months, not days, and are quick to make, clean after and don’t generate a big volume to consume. Use it to wash down your preference of vitamins/herbal supplements. Takes a few minutes each day.
As for the eat meat or not question, there’s a fair bit of anarchist material in this link, but a lot of solid nutritional info as well. A bit long but I thought worth it to get info I didn’t see in many hundred hours of research.
http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-veganism-why-not
For reader’s convenience I’ll recap some information I posted in the Diplomats Killed comment section, on how much training a US medical doctor gets in nutrition: less than 20 hours.
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-03-26/health/ct-met-heart-nutrition-20130326_1_mediterranean-style-diet-heart-disease-diet-and-nutrition
“Despite a growing consensus that cardiovascular disease is a “food-borne” illness, many physicians are ill-prepared to advise patients on what they should eat to best protect them from heart attack or stroke.”
“”There’s tremendous ignorance about nutrition among physicians,” added Dr. William Davis, a preventive cardiologist in Milwaukee. “It has never been part of the culture.”
“On average, doctors receive 19 hours of total nutrition education in medical school; in 2004 the average was 22.3 hours, according to the study, conducted as part of the Nutrition in Medicine project at UNC. In 2009, 27 percent of the schools met the minimum standard of nutrition training, compared with 38 percent in 2004.”
That article looks at the research on the positive impact on heart disease with the then-trendy (2003) Mediterranean Diet, but the same is true for paying attention to what our paleo-bodies require, not what Monsanto and Big Pharma thinks is best for us… or rather best for their profit margins and their role inside the Deep State.
And add:
http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialsciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_3_Moral_Climate_of_Health_Care/Reading-Death-Rate-Doctor-Strike.htm
“The late Robert Mendelsohn, M.D., while Chairman of the Medical Licensing Committee for the State of Illinois and Associate Professor of Preventive Medicine and Community Health at the University of Illinois School of Medicine, wrote:
. . . the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine. I believe that Modern Medicine’s treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they’re often more dangerous than the diseases they’re designed to treat . . . I believe that more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth-doctors, hospital, drugs, and equipment-and the effect on our health would be immediate and beneficial.”
So it may not be such a stretch that my position of ensuring proper amino acid/vitamin/mineral supplementation (particularly taurine and tryptophan) in an otherwise reasonably well-rounded omnivorous diet (just good food, not to be confused with the weight-loss or fad diets) is the best prescription for health maintenance for those of us living in modern urban cultures.
To carry on from the info on the other article-comments, given that taurine and tryptophan have proven mood-boosting properties (among many more benefits), it is interesting to see how in the late 1980’s Big Pharma attacked Over The Counter (OTC) sales of serotonin generating/moderating supplements like tryptophan, St John’s Wort and kava kava, culminating in convincing FDA, EU and other gov’ts to ban them, then make these prescription-only.
In the case of tryptophan, this ban happened within 4 days of Prozac being media-blitzed, introduced with a front-cover of Newsweek… a miracle drug!
http://ceri.com/trypto.htm
After nearly 20 years, in 2008 the FDA ban on OTC tryptophan etc. was lifted… but not before 25-30% of the North American public had been duped into taking addictive drugs like SSRI’s, SNRI’s and MAOI’s. These were often prescribed for off-label issues, but that doesn’t make the patients any less susceptible to reduced-effectiveness or withdrawal symptoms, of which suicidal thoughts/attempts are very common.
So it is proven that corporate/gov’t interests will deliberately manipulate the availability of nutritional supplements to drive the public to consume their drugs. If more proof is required, readers can investigate Big Tobacco for another example of corporate/gov’t lying/collusion to foist addictive, harmful products on the public for profit.
But now we may be seeing the weaponization of sub-clinical malnutrition as a means of keeping larger segments the public in physical and emotional deprivation, but not so debilitating that they cannot fulfill the needs of the corporate/capitalist project. Until “age related diseases” caused by this premeditated malnutrition results in expensive medical care (which puts any personal gains back into the coffers of corporations) and premature death.
And today we see a media blackout/misdirection on taurine. Searches will often produce results pointing you at energy drinks (too loaded with sugar, caffeine and other crap to be truly beneficial), sites “debunking” the myth that taurine is bull urine (but virtually zero info about what taurine is and metabolism-wide benefits) or male penis enhancement sites (???).
I’m not a fan of the “buy our stuff” tone of this site, it does give a good overview of the benefits of taurine.
https://bebrainfit.com/taurine-benefits/
The best way to counteract this corporate/MIC/Deep State attempt to lure ourselves, our children, grandchildren and friends within the systemic sub-clinical malnutrition trap inside the apparent abundance food in supermarkets is to eat minimal processed foods and supplement with amino acids and vitamins. We all can’t get access to, nor afford, the best quality/low-chemical meats/vegetables, but at least we can reduce the effect a long-term lack of the basic nutrients that make our bodies work.
Hell, nice try!
U’r my hero of the day. Maybe even more then this. We will see…
After I read your posts in the last cafe, I ordered immediately my first batch of Taurine. It was like a revelation, what you have written. But also because I’m partially deep into this stuff already: I can witness the benefits of Creatine + Arginine. Daily 1-2 tea spoons of each. Gives my Mitochondria extra life.
By the way: “Mitochondriopathy” could be the real cause (on the physical plane) of many, many “diseases” especially the “autoimmune” one: all forms of rheumatism, Morbus Bechterew (ankylosing spondylitis), Morbus Crohn, chronic Iritis, arteriosclerosis and other symptoms which are related to inflammations.
If you stack the Taurine with MSM (organic sulphur), the results on skin, hair and nails could be very good. Also many joint pains related to age and rheumatism.
If you stack Lithium orotate to Tryptophan or 5-htp and maybe to Taurine with MSM, it could help you much better with mood and depression than SSRI and the like…
Regarding diet, especially meat, vegetarian or even vegan.
So far, I don’t see here any universal laws, which could apply to everyone. Difficult stuff.
If you are “HLA B27” positive (genetic marker), you are told that if you have certain symptoms like back pain, that you have “Morbus Bechterew” and that this is unfortunately incurable. The Doc will give you painkillers and inflammation inhabitants, which will make the situation much worse!
I say: if you are “HLA B27” positive, then you are Vegan by your genetics! Stop eating all meat and all animal products, especially milk, cheese, cream and eggs. Stop with sugar and wheat, if grains then full grain. Do this for 8 weeks and see how an “incurable” disease disappears!
I for myself can’t eat meat anymore, no eggs anymore, any milk and cheese anymore. I eat it once, I immediately get joint pains. I eat vegan, I feel 20 years younger.
Of course I can confirm the strengthening effects of mom’s good ol’ chicken soup and beef broth to recover after an influence for example. Of course I can feel a special power and energy coming from beef and lamb meat. On the sexual energy also. But I can’t eat it… If, then only once in a while…
What is good for one, may be bad for someone else…
@ Prometeus: Glad to help, it’s why I do what I do… thanks for the info, another piece of the meat/vegan puzzle in place. I have a friend of Icelandic descent who has a genetic condition common to Icelanders (don’t know the marker) that makes her highly gluten intolerant and causes her osteoporosis. But she has no problems with meat/eggs/dairy. As my Mom was fond of saying, ya learn something new everyday… if you care to look and listen.
Granted, your situation genetically sets you apart from most of the world population, except for Scandinavians is seems. In the low %’s for most of the world, but 24% for those whose ancestors come from far northern Europe. Odd, as one would not think that environment would favour a vegetarian genetic variation…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLA-B27
Could this be as simple as your MD/specialist asking “what is your ancestry”? They do it for sickle cell, but then that is an easy question to think to ask of a person of colour. Anyway, armed with that little bit of ancestry/genetic info, it short-cuts the process of figuring out what to look for/do. From there the doc should be starting with nutritional options you have found, to see if the pharma big guns can be avoided. But we know that is not what usually happens. Congrats on finding your way despite all the barriers thrown at you.
And are you also unable to handle whey products? I say that because whey isolate removes the lactose proteins which usually trigger dairy reactions.
If like most vegan-eaters you struggle with getting enough iron, another item you may want to consider due to your necessity to avoid meats is a heme-iron supplement like Proferrin (I only mention the brand/product as it is new and seems to be the only one on the market at this time). Heme iron (only acquired in diet from red meats) is more easily absorbed than a standard iron supplement like ferrous fumarate, and some testing shows Proferrin does not cause iron overload, a dangerous condition from too much of the other iron forms. Also you may want to avoid leafy greens like spinach, kale, romaine which contain phytic acid which actually blocks iron absorption. Besides the “high” iron content of these leafy greens is often given per calorie, not per serving. I discovered this info chasing down safe iron strategies for the sub-clinical anemic females in my life.
Yes, MSM is another great nutritional tool, wonderful in “normal” people for avoiding/reducing muscle aches from overwork. Magnesium is another muscle (among other things) go-to, magnesium citrate for easy internal dosing or external like Epson salts. Taurine helps some people reduce the tendency towards very loose stools caused by high magnesium intake. I have wondered if taurine might do the same for vitamin C, but haven’t had occasion to try it out.
If you’re looking to enhance your sex life (who isn’t?), Alpha Lipolic Acid is reputed to help both men and women. And it also binds to heavy metals like mercury (why I added it, really, the sex thing was just an after the fact bonus), making them more easily eliminated from the body or rendered less damaging. It is available as a powder in capsules (I just open the gel capsule and add as much as I want, a 1/2 cap is enough for me every-other day) and can be added to whatever other smoothie-type delivery system you are using. Not as tasteless as taurine, but barely noticeable if in juice (I use organic apple, with some cinnamon…yum!)
A processed collagen or organic gelatin may also be helpful, only diet-available from meat sources, but not in the actual meat… your Mom’s bone broth would be a good source if you could tolerate it. The difference is the collagen can be used in cold liquids where gelatin is, well, like jello. But I’m guessing you also want to avoid the sugar, colours and whatever that gets added to actual Jello. Again start slow as too much too quick can upset your flora for a while, kinda like probiotics.
Enjoy!
Israeli malware can hack isolated computers by forcing their LED indicators to blink
https://www.rt.com/news/378353-malware-led-blinking-stealing/
“The technique specifically targets so-called “air-gapped” computers, which are cut off from the Internet and company networks, making them the most challenging targets for hackers. Consequently, they typically carry the most sensitive information.”
There’s an old programmer’s debugging technique I used a few times: put a radio near the coputer and listen to the interference patterns to hear when the machine goes into a (possibly endless) loop. Sounds like bee de bop bop foop noise from an old modem or old home computer writing tot a cassette tape recorder. With some more sophisticated equipment the CPU, drives, and such can be heard chugging along — so you need to put a ‘tinfoil hat’ (EM shielding) on the machine to make it secure.
Maybe you could intercept stray EM signals form a monitor, or record the sound of typing and decipher it from the sound of different keys being struck (but this would not be made public if it exists). How about induced currents from EM being transmitted long electric supply lines? Well — maybe.. I’ll bet Spock or Capt. Kirk can pick up ll sorts of things with their tri-corders, since it’s difficult to completely isolate a system from the rest of the physical world. Quantum sniffers? It’s hard to tell how advanced such technology is at a given time. Maybe you need a few other computers, or a spark gap, generating random noise — electronic equivalent to running the water in the bathroom while talking secret things. There is also a technique using laser beams bounced off a window which vibrates from sound in a room, modulating the reflection.
Random noise is the friend of security.
As for spy drones, pull the shades closed.
Since the Saker’s tagline is “Stop the Empire’s war on Russia”, I am mostly interested in this theme. For example, is the current “alt right” movement truly a step in the direction of multipolarity? What are the true intentions of the power structure behind it? Stuff like that. I would be interested in topics that clarify those answers.
Hey, a new cafe for a new day. I love the overview photo shot. Let’s get the big picture. The sun is just rising here. I’ve got the woodstove fired a couple of feet behind me in this sixty square foot outdoor kitchen-office. I’ve got a computer cam by which to view the whole globe. The old cafe cleared a lot of crap. What will this new one bring?
I like to shoot from the hip rather than be like some sharpshooter killer. I shoot love all over the place broadcast style. I watched Alex Jones last night doing an AMA, Ask Me Anything. I like his passion but some of his philosophy actually hurts his cause. Same here at the fineyard.
I like Trump too but have the same reservations about some of his basic ideas. The last cafe drew out quite a few who hate me and my ideas. That’s good. I hope the mods let all the comments about me through. I learn from them and welcome them.
Putin is my model in that regard. He allows people to attack him in the media as long as they do not commit crimes. With the educated Russians, he can let the people decide. They can see through the lies and fake news. I think people here can do that too.
Those who don’t like my ideas say I am ranting. That’s like saying the Saker is fake news. One person’s rant is another’s chant. Ah, the joys of free speech. Ah, the pan of hot water on the stove is ready. I’ll heat up let-over oatmeal later.
I love and hate this site. It brings out the best and worst of me. What I like most is its motto: “stop the empire’s war on Russia.” Those six words sum it up. They can be reduced to just two words; “Stop War.” Russia is not so foolish as to think it’s the only one on the empire’s hate and hit list. That’s why Russia fights in Syria and makes alliances with China and Iran and has ambassadors all over the globe. War has gone global especially the information war.
I have my ideas on how to stop war. I practice those ideas. I am hated for those ideas. So what? It’s to be expected. I have ten basic ideas on stopping war with many subsets. One of the main ideas draws fire and hatred. That’s only to be expected. It’s a sign that I’m onto something big.
It is counter-cultural and not politically correct. So what? What if it is true and I did not express it out of fear? Shame on me. It appears contradictory but it is not when you get down to the basics of who we are. It’s a deeply religious idea in the literal sense of “tying back into the source.” It’s a true political idea in the meaning of genuine power.
But there are so many lies, brainwashing, taboos and threats of punishment connected with it that it arouses intense fear and hatred as defense mechanisms. I think you know which one of the ten ideas I’m talking about. If I mention the phrase it will trigger emotions that will blot out reason so I won’t.
This is not an all or nothing thing. There is qualified and tenuous partial support in some of the comments; even sympathy. Who knows what the silent majority think? I don’t claim to be absolutely right but I could hardly be passionate about things that I knew were wrong. If I can get to that kind of overview of the lead photo of this cafe much would fall into place naturally. That’s why the “stop war” idea is such a great flag to support.
I believe a true love with exact specifications as to what that is can stop war. I would be disappointed if that did not arouse resistance. These things can be worked through if the panoramic view is correct and aligns with reality. Otherwise, it will be forever false and ineffective. I’m talking about the very basic notions of religion, philosophy, psychology and all down the line.
If we have a false worldview overview we are doomed to unreality and probable eventual destruction: social and personal, here and hereafter. Our philosophy depends on our epistemology, how we come to know. I find much value in religion but its Achilles’ heel is to believe without evidence on false assumptions. I read three books by a man who was trying to build a philosophy of love which I am too. But right at the end he threw philosophy under the bus and reverted to his chosen theology with a deus ex machina trick. I was disappointed to say the least about his dishonesty.
Religions are all based on nature and natural phenomenon but they are spoiled by the seductions of power with its concomitant fear and terror. Some day if I live long enough I want to rewrite religions taking out the patriarchal garbage. It can be done and it will make sense. But oh, the hatred and fear it will arouse at the prospect of losing all that power and false security and identity.
The sun is now shining through the trees. Time to end the chanting which you (no, not you) will call ranting. I’ve been a priest and monk in both old age and new age religions so I think I can tell the difference. Long live the difference!
Om shanti,
https://youtu.be/wpIPRv2N4jI
I bow to your wisdom denis and I cannot but praise the place
to meet you
Let me say,I fail however to suffice to some of your 10 orders
meat eating, sex, … it connect’s with my wife. She is my fourth
and final love since 36 years.
With her all my questions to god are answered. Sex is one of them.
God’s answer was overwhelming … also she, and some
generations back, I , we are from meat eating peasantry,
a peacefull one in our country life.
But your 10 might be the one, and we are sinners and will have to pay for it
unless we might find a way of compensation for our sins.
In a way, at your boring end, you remember me of Sigmund Freud, don’t
say this to embarass you, but as it might be interesting for you.
Jung sees that Freud is obsessed by o n e mighty Archetype: sex.
And Jung holds and , as a great narrator demonstrates, that there are a
number of powerfull archetypes, he talks of the “phenomenology
of the so called psychic dominants, be those now God, Allah, Buddha,
Purusha, Zeus, Planets, Zodia, or Sexuality”
But this, I called it “boring end” is to me immensly offset by the clearness
and goodness of your reflection on yourself and by that on all of us.
And there is an idea coming closer to me that is connected with a deep
feeling in me concerning America, the lack of earth in a European or
Russian sense, hence the lack of weight, tradition and security of roots.
And to me your 10 are of this American “thin air”-material but, similar
to myself with a kind if thin steel connected with the history of soul on
the planet.
Never mind, to me sometimes you are the crazy essayist in the desert.
Peace upon you
Freud’s obsession with sex – his version – was largely down to his cocaine addiction.
Led him into inevitable cul-de-sacs and his theories are not much respected anymore (though continue to be exploited for perverse forms of social engineering, like the current sexualization of children.)
His psychosexual theory of development was heavily compromised by his own clinical dishonesty, not to by mention dated ideas of neurology/physiology.
He was right about some things, but nothing recieved wisdom didn’t already know.
He was especially clueless about female psychology, as well as having typically nineteenth-century male notions of the roots of morality: lack of personal capacity for empathy – the result of being in positions of social dominance -meant he envisaged it exclusively in terms of punishment/penile anxiety.
All in all, more worthy of clinical assessment himself than a source of ‘enlightenment.’
Freud was a fraud – that was my opinion when I was first introduced to Psychology 100 (1973). But everyone took him seriously and the lecturer and tutors were dismayed by my lack of reverence to the master! Strewth!
But I learned something from that – the power of group-think and herd mentality.
That people “hate” you is your projection onto people who merely disagree with you. It is so easy to do in the format of an internet chat room when the actual physical presence of the other person is never there. Besides, projection is part of the human condition so let’s have a go at it.
If you love to be hated…fine. Maybe it relieves you of the burden of actually having to interact with actual people and be present for them. ( a very difficult process probably for someone like you with heightened sensitivities.) Or maybe it gives you the higher moral ground of your 10 commandments so you can love their ( supposed) hatred and ( impious) stubborn ignorance ? Don’t know, but I feel obliged to weigh in every once and awhile.
Advice: this weekend Uranus and Mars conjunct very close to your natal Uranus: watch out for ungrounded electrical wires. ( Thomas Merton had an unfortunate encounter with Uranus during his last day on earth) or flashes of pure divine grace!!!–maybe one and the same. Be well and be safe.
Hey Dennis,
I appreciated your answer very much!
Regarding my “communal rock ‘n’ roll” metaphor: in the light of what you have answered to it, I feel ashamed and uncomfortable. I admit that you are right: I wrote, what I thought about it. It is my personal projection of what I connect with it. I admit that I can’t tell for sure, what you exactly have in mind. And it’s not OK, to insinuate you something like “group orgy”, while having no clue, what is really in your heart and on your mind.
Thank you very much for this loving and smooth correction of my error! Your kindness was very disarming and made it very easy for me to realize my fault.
Why I have asked you about your personal circumstances, especially regarding marriage, children, soul mate. Well, I have observed, that people tend to “sanctify” their personal life experience. Me also! If one struggled to find real Love in life, but haven’t succeeded, one could easily draw the conclusion: there is no real Love between man & woman. If one on the other hand spent his whole life with one partner, through good & bad and not divorcing even in absurd circumstances, one may conclude divorce is for weaklings and a sin. This kind of logic…
Regarding patriarchy vs matriarchy:
I’m familiar with both concepts and in my “early new age” I was fast on the side of matriarchy. Today I’m trying to fuse both concepts because I’m not sure anymore, if one is better than the other. They a different for sure, different strengths, different weaknesses. Patriarchy is often criticized for the hierarchy. If we choose matriarchy, which means we install the woman as a prime principle, above the man, don’t we have hierarchy again?
Just one small thought on this. We could go much deeper in this…
Our “natural state” of sexuality in the light of Tantra & Alchemy.
Well, both, Tantra & Alchemy, are a very vast field of knowledge. I would pick just a tiny fraction which has to do with “sex”. There is a very special field called ”occult endocrinology”. This is an unbelievable science, which is still completely unknown today. It was never officially known in our dark age.
”Occult endocrinology” deals with two main aspects:
1. The transformation and refinement of food which we eat according to the music scale: Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si[-Do]. The first “Do” is what you eat. The last “Do” is the higher octave of what you have eaten. This “Do” is your essence. Your semen. It’s the solar Christic force transformed in bodily fluids. The same with woman. The same process in every living creature, plants also, which multiply through semen.
2. The transmutation of the secretions of endocrine glands in our body: hormones. This “art” implies knowledge to transform “intellectual animals” (us) in true, solar humans: sons & daughters of God. The way to become Christ in flesh. God’s word made flesh. Not less than that.
It is this second part of which I would like to hint you some stuff. I’m pretty sure, that you are maybe familiar with this or that. “It’s a difference to just know the path or to walk the path” (Morpheus to Neo, Matrix 1).
Our glands and by thus the hormones which a secreted by these only reach full functional capacity, if we behave in our sexuality, like it is thought in “White Tantrism”. This is only possible between One man & One woman. No cheating possible and no exception possible, if you don’t want to interrupt the process. The electro-magnetic characteristics of man & woman have to “enter matrimony”. This takes a while. When the polarities are embossed to each other, the process begins.
This process only develops and grows in the right direction – which is UP – if it’s not interrupted and if certain physical and mental techniques are applied.
If you are on this way with your partner and – God forbid – you lose your partner, your “electro-magnetic-body” will need 3 years (3 rounds of 360°) to be able to adapt to a new electro-magnetic-body. Then you can start from the beginning.
There is much more to say here. I’ll stop for now to give you the opportunity to hint me, if we should go further or if it’s enough…
Out of this knowledge I can’t see, how the concept of communal sex can lead us to the true path of Christ. But I admit, that my knowledge is limited and I can’t rule out, that you are on to something which is true also!
Jesus had his Maria Magdalena.
Buddha had his Yaśodharā.
You wrote about Religion. Religion begins and ends with man & woman. For Religio there is nothing more needed than a man and his wife.
I bow to Shiva.
I bow to Parvati.
I bow to Lord Ganesh.
“lead us to the true path of Christ”
I see a caveat, “Christ” is the projection of the “Welterlöser” (World – Redeemer)
No one can be that.
But one can be the redeemer in a family, in friendships, maybe even in a job – that is enough.
“True path of christ” You know what it is that Jung warns about: “Inflation”.
The Alchemists understood, that God cannot be more that a spark in our heart, more
than that would burst man. So the “king” has to be the humble one, be it in a state, be
it in a family.
Much as I like your post, I must confess I found it odd that you cite alchemists over say, theologians.
You will no longer find it odd if you study C.G.Jung, Psychology and Alchemy, or the three volumes of “The Mystery of Conunction”.
His basic realization: the Alchemists seached in the darkness of matter, work and piety the immortal essence
and the psyche of the Alchemists did, what psyche did from the beginning: filling the unknown with projections of herself – psyche. Hence the writings of the Alchemists between God and matter are a great field to study man’s psyche.
You know Thomas of Aquino? Albertus Magnus? Were in respect with Alchemy.
Warm thanks you for your confession
Hello again Prometeus, just something to consider in your ruminations about consciousness/endocrine/metaphysical phenomena.
https://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight
I found Jill Bolte Taylor’s stroke experience a revelation, but of course filtered through my own Dark Matter/Energy exploratory view. I wonder, have humans been mistaking our ability to connect via meditation, prayer, out-of-body experiences, drugs, etc. to the ubiquitous, hidden energy/matter that naturally fills space and apparently makes the universe “go”? Perhaps it is time to realize these phenomena are just nature we don’t understand rather than some supernatural intelligence, deity, religious “truth” or other human frame/label?
It is plausible that our ancestors were not so trapped as modern humans too often are (indoctrinated? strategically malnourished?) into primarily using the linear/logical “left” brain, so our predecessors could more easily access the “right” brain experience that Bolte describes so clinically, yet exquisitely. The exact energetic mechanism of the “right brain” experience is still open for conjecture, but the basic phenomena is common across all cultures/ethnicities. All that differs is the explanations ancient human cultures used to describe the phenomena, the rituals performed and substances used to try to access the phenomena, the status/power accorded those who were most capable of achieving that state and became the holders/purveyors of the mystery. And viola, religions were born, and humans tenaciously persist in retaining the comfortable, if mistaken, certainty of ideas of the past, rather than venture boldly into the I Don’t Know.
The phenomena is undoubtedly as real as anything in our individual and collective consciousness is, but I think the human constructs surrounding it not so much. The common attributes of this phenomena indicate an experience that connects humans to all life, all energy in the universe as simultaneously as we can comprehend within the limits of our consciousness.

Hi Dennis. Long time since I’ve visited. There’s alway a lot to chew on in your posts, things with which I agree and very often don’t. Sometimes I love you and other times you creep me outYou mention your trouble with patriarchy and I certainly see the problems. My comment concerns basic dialectics and the way we are forced to choose.
You can choose patriarchy or matriarchy but I prefer the best of both. Actually both terms are used mainly refer to to worst traits of masculine and/or feminen so choosing between them is always a false choice. I think
you’ll agree the best situation is always a balance and so masculine and feminen are not so much opposing forces but two essential aspects of our most essential being. The inversion of western consciousness has stripped us of our ability to think clearly about almost anything fundamental. Language has been reinvented to bury the archetypes, not to elucidate or give us access to truth.
Since I’m writing on my phone I will try to boil it down. In the old day we were told to choose left or right, dem or republican, coke or pepsi and so on it goes. With many people finally coming to understand the Old Left was merely controlled opposition and there never was any real choice for folks like you and me, the proverbial powers that be decided to create a whole new world of dialectical false choices and so here we are. Tavistock conceived RT wants you to choose Russia and has spawned an army of interner pseudo-russians all of whom know Putin is the man. The other side knows that Russians are innately evil and so there you have your new dialectic system of false choosing already installed in your brain.
Since you are a truth seeker I put it to you, the things which you run to, or run away from, only keep you running. Perhaps now is a good time to stop running and recall the wise saying of a particular Greek fellow, I think it’s Aristophanes but I don’t quite remember.
He said, words to the effect, all good things enter into this world attached to a curse. By implication all cursed things, like patrirchy in it’s rawest form, are attached to something good. The trick is to not run from the cursed things of manhood into the arms of the cursed things of mommy. The trick is to see the good and bad of all things and from there decide how to build a better world.
Your love government is attached to the curse of hate, not because people are naturally hateful but because we are all a bit of both. For that reason it is potentially dangerous and without proper understanding will lead to the world of Big Sister, which is absolutely as terrible and frightening ad the world of Big Brother in which we now live.
Best regards.
Chemistry + Mystery = Alchemy
A section from a 1993 talk by Ernst Becker on the theory of gestalt (Perls):
I got in a lot of trouble, I remember, in San Francisco, where we belong to a nursery co-op. They found out that I was a professor and that I knew something about psychology, so they asked me to come and talk about the problems of child development. So I went there and we talked. There was some really bright psychologist from one of the universities around San Francisco, and the question was, “Should we tell children where they came from?” So they talked about it. “Well, sure,” he said, “you have to tell children where they came from — the sperm and the egg!” Explain it to them all, tell them. “Well, you grew up in your mother’s belly, and you came out of your mother, and this is why you’re here and that’s how it comes!” So they said, “Well, very good.” It was all very nice, and he described the whole thing, how you tell children honestly; after all, you don’t want to lie to children because they’re riot stupid. And if you’re lying to them, they’ll know you’re a liar, and parents don’t want to be liars.
Then they said, “Dr. Becker?” So I said, “Well, if you want to lie to them.” Everybody in the room turned and looked at me. They said, “What do you mean, lie to them?” I said, “Well, you don’t know where they came from, do you? Sperm and the egg is only one step in the causal process that remains fundamentally a mystery, right? You don’t really know where children come from.” They didn’t like that. They really didn’t like it. They thought it was dishonest to tell them it was a mystery. And yet, you know, the one thing we’re learning about children is that when they ask you questions like that, they really want to know what they’re doing here. I mean, they really want to know. Children ask religious questions that we repress. And we refuse to give them religious answers which really are the only ones that mean anything. Naturalistic answers don’t answer questions; we haven’t succeeded in answering anything really vital naturalistically. So they’re asking us, “Who am I?” The kid wants to know who he is, what he’s doing on this planet. And we don’t know, so we lie to him and we tell him how he came to be here, which is not really how he came to be, since we don’t know. And the one dangerous thing that we do with that, however well-intentioned we are when we do it, is we eclipse the dimension of mystery. We make the kid think that there’s no mystery in the world. The problem, you see, existentially, is that. And the other side of the problem is not only why we’re here, which bothers us, which we try to forget and try to repress and build our whole life trying to ignore or trying to justify — the other side is that our whole life is a beating of other people over the head to try to convince them we know why we’re here. To try to prove to them we’re here because we’re special and good: look at me, love me, admire me, look what I’m doing, look how good. Yes, yes, you deserve to be here, great. If we said that, they’d say “What do you mean?” Now the obverse of that existential question is, what about death? Which is really, of course, the spooky question. The fact is that we die. And we know it. Every once in a while you dig somebody up and all you have is a sack of bones. And you think about all the people that have been buried on this planet since it was here, the whole thing’s fertilizer — it’s a graveyard of fertilizer. Human fertilizer. We’re all going to go that way and we don’t know what it means. And we try not to think about it.
Of course, that ‘mystery’ means that though ‘dust to dust, ashes to ashes’ cannot be denied, it cannot be the focal answer either.
To paraphrase Pariminedes – ‘Nothing can come from nothing.
So something must have come from something.
And it must be eternal, even when it’s constituent elements may be in flux.
We just don’t know.
The rational argument is long over about what constitutes a healthy diet for the human race so I will not be bothering with any more pointless discussions here regarding nutrition.
Heart attacks are not natural. If Mr. Churkin died of a heart attack at 65 then it was not a natural death. It could be that he slowly killed himself with food over a lifetime or he was assassinated via some method that mimics or causes heart attacks. No matter how you look at it it is an unnatural, untimely, unnecessary and painful death.
Given how many Russian chips are in the multi-polar game their diplomats would be well advised to do what it takes to stay vigorously alive even if it means only eating vegetables.
@ Alex Kramer: Maybe for you that “argument” is over, but not for people struggling with their health and getting no tangible or lasting help from the medical/pharma/food industry. Or people who want ot stay as far away from the medical system as possible. With good reason:
http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/socialsciences/ppecorino/MEDICAL_ETHICS_TEXT/Chapter_3_Moral_Climate_of_Health_Care/Reading-Death-Rate-Doctor-Strike.htm
Again, student MD’s in the US get less than 20 hours instruction on nutrition, and post MD courses are optional. Most of the rest is learning about prescribing drugs (and getting perks from drug reps) and surgery, virtually zero real preventative health strategies. Ya, they want you to come in for your zero-symptom yearly check-up/tests, but only to introduce various drugs when your levels are “a bit” high or low. The standard admonition to cut out (insert food boogey-man du jour here), lose weight and exercise are pointless platitudes from a person in a white coat without any actual metabolism/nutrition knowledge. The doc might as well tell the patient to be sure to look both ways before crossing the street as a way to avoid heavy metal-induced aliments (in the form of a truck or car).
If you want to rely on medical advice for avoiding “food borne illnesses” (your quoted doctor’s own term) all I can say is it’s your life. Readers may want other, safer alternatives.
Exactly. The rational debate is over and the irrational continues without me.
Wow, the arrogance. And even when I present peer-reviewed research and the opinions of prominent medical practitioners to refute your position.
If you are claiming there is nothing major new for medical science to learn about the human body, you are very mistaken.
http://www.livescience.com/57370-mesentery-new-organ-identified.html
And since this organ is in the gut where most nutrition is absorbed, it is a given that there is much to learn about its role. The scientists admit they know little about its function.
The kicker is, most of what I am talking about for amino acids etc. is well documented. I have demonstrated that… I have given up trying to convince you, but don’t want any readers going away thinking your position is “rational”. Refusing to understand something plainly shown to be true is not rational.
One of the greatest breakthroughs regarding a digestive organ (as well as affecting many other parts of the body) still being discovered, with only a little known so far: the intestinal flora — gut bacteria. Biologically we are not so much an individual as an ecosystem, and when the bacteria andother denizens of our personal swamp are not functioning properly or of the wrong species, things go wrong.
Humans can’t digest wood. Surprise: neither can termites, because it’s the bacteria they harbor in their guts that digest it. We are all parts and sub-parts of a grand ecosystem.

@ blue and Kent: Absolutely, there probably is as much or more to learn scientifically about how our bodies work nutritionally as we now know. Sadly much of this “what to eat” knowledge is actually part of lost dietary/herbal information which pre-modern cultures used to remain healthy.
I have always wondered, if vegetables/grains are so crucial to human health, how did the Far North Innu tribes live on nearly exclusive meat diets? I guess if you can get past the idea of eating raw meat and blubber, anything is possible. LOL!
And there is growing evidence to indicate that our gut flora significantly influences our mood, appetite and even our food choices. Any coincidence that people who have candida overgrowth (bad gut bacteria) crave sugar/carbs, the very thing that the candida bacteria like most?
Plus the neural system in our gut is now being considered a “second brain”, as it functions quite independently from the brain in our head. They communicate closely, but the brain in our head doesn’t directly drive all the functions in our gut. Which may be why 95% of the tryptophan/serotonin in our bodies is in our gut.
And while science has a long way to go to define what’s going on there’s enough info to positively change a person’s health. I know my own health/mood has improved remarkably since I began ensuring I was getting enough amino acids (taurine, whey isolate) and vitamins to ensure the aminos can be metabolized. Cravings I have tried to shake for decades disappeared in a couple weeks, my eyesight is clearer than in decades, aside from some residual (and diminishing) floaters from an ocular hemorrhage from a couple years ago. I sleep better and have more physical endurance. I realize I was lucky to not have the impediment of prescription meds to unwind, but that was as much down to my luck of landing in the good end of the gene pool (my father was up a ladder nailing siding on his garage in his late 70’s, my oldest sibling will be 80 soon and you’d never know it to look at him) as my active avoidance of the medical profession.
Be well.
Thanks for the revealing link above, nice try.
On this topic, Blue.At least there is one lead into a sensible approach. The gut biome is an ecosystem and is responsible for about 80% of the function of immune capacity. It literally sends information (we are chemo-electrical systems, astonishingly complex) to the brain via the vagus nerve. The system is also essential to the absorption and proper distribution of vital minerals and most other nutrients. I am not inclined to pontificate, but will provide some excellent sources for those who would like to learn about leading research and documentation regarding nutrition and the management of the body, and mind. For know-it-alls, I don’t give a damn, do as you please.

Autopsy of Churkin:

Lets see who else is saying what,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABS-CBN_News_and_Current_Affairs
ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs (formerly ABS-CBN News and Public Affairs and also known as ABS-CBN News) is the news division of Philippine media conglomerate ABS-CBN. The organization is responsible for the daily news and information gathering of its news programs.
It serves the main ABS-CBN, the Regional Network Group, the UHF sports channel S+A, the cable channels ABS-CBN News Channel and DZMM TeleRadyo, the flagship radio station DZMM and the regional radio networks DYAP 765 Palawan, DYAB 1512 Cebu and DXAB 1296 Davao and a news website ABS-CBNnews.com.
I care very much about knowing the truth about the death of Churkin _ who I admired for his work _ esp against that disgraceful Samantha power.
But is that news site credible?
Meanwhile. The demons continue their work. They continue to push the lie re the Syrian gas.
Here from RT.: https://www.rt.com/news/line/
France, Britain to press Syria chemical weapons resolution at UNSC – Reuters
Next week a draft resolution blacklisting 11 Syrian officials over alleged chemical weapons attacks sponsored by France and Britain may be voted on at the UN Security Council, Reuters reported, citing a diplomat. The motion is based on a joint inquiry by the UN and the OPCW, a chemical weapons watchdog. Russia reportedly indicated earlier that it would not support the draft.
How convenient for these demons that Churkin is now with the angels.

“Ukraine today is a country whose security and military forces, and government, are being progressively dominated and taken over by over neo-fascists. London knows this; but the objective was, and is, to defeat Putin’s Russia by war or even threat of global war.
The Obama/Soros forces’ objective in trying to bring down Trump is the same: a war confrontation with Russia, and a return to the London/Wall Street policy of “globalization,” “deindustrialization,” constant wars, that Trump campaigned against.”

I’ll catch up with last café and all the love and concern for errant, narcissistic old boys that one masochistically calls “hate” (Cheap shot! Wrong! Soros-like!) to disarm the Chastity/Modesty Crusade.
We men need to perform when the woman (lover we’ve known for months or years, ideally fiance or wife) draws us to intimacy and keep it in our pants when she doesn’t. The domain of privacy and decency without repression. Not easy, but possible.
There is a Maidan in the USA to stop, not a maiden to poke, today, IMHO.
I suspect you’d fit right in at Harvard. There seem to be many terms for psychologically effeminized males (can’t honestly call them “men”) — choose your favorite.
Women learn and grow as much from adapting to masculine reality as men do from adapting to women’s. (Perspective : happily married 26 years now) (for the second time) (after a naive, disastrous attempt to put your ideal into practice first time, followed by a long “time out” to ponder and reflect).
Healthy women do not want to be idealized and made princesses of, and come to despise men whose nature is unable to make M/F polarity real (kinetic energy vs. potential) in practice.
All the old cliches are true.
That’s why they’re cliches.
Look at the kind of men women find appealing because they provoke a deep response to them in their natures, and re-think the matter.
Life is not really all that complicated;
It just only works the way it works.

My sense is that this guy Robert David Steele is probably right, and we better get up to speed very quickly on the Planned May Day Maidan in DC.
60 days to stop war and lay aside personal pet projects is not too much time to forget ego, sex and other personal distractions, which can be enjoyed LATER when the coast is a little bit more clear.
See whatcha think: https://youtu.be/o3Op6qHhsRM
Alex is a little funny but Steele and guys like him (see Eimar’s link to FBI Anon here:
/moveable-feast-cafe-2017-02-23/#comment-325870
may save his butt and Trump’s (and ours) as well.
A “broad front” is a “broad” front and it’s stupid to reject funny people that do have their heart in the right place, even if some other things are a bit off kilter.
Steele seems to me to be someone worth hearing with some nice info to follow up on and to think about, but I’ll give only a 75% or 80% credibility, and he is a bot of a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and a nut job — and significantly too far to the right wing. He’s like LaRouche who has some good stuff but periodically goes off into lala land — listen to them both very critically and skeptically. Ray McGovern seems to be much better for keeping his feet on the ground, and is more knowledgeable (and was a much higher level guy in the CIA).
Also keep in mind that any ex-CIA person might still be in the dysinformation game, but might also be sincere but conditioned to having blind spots and a few misconceptions (Paul Craig Roberts is also susceptible to this). No one has the whole picture, or is all clear headed, of course.
We should not mix up the problem of ‘evil’ actors or secret conspiracies with structural systemic faults, and human stupidity and ignorance and normal mental weaknesses.
I always gave LaRouche extra street creds for doing time following dubious charges by the state.
Do you factor that kind of persecution into your percentage ratings?
Not really. I base it on what someone says and how it checks out. There are hundreds of ways to be wrong, and some them get the state really angry.
blue, what would be appreciated is some examples, particularly of a link just provided to you that you comment one, but come nowhere close to analyzing even one sentence or paragraph you don’t even deign to give as an example of something Steele should not be doing or saying.
Worthless!! Like an answer to an opinion poll.
How do you FEEL? That I could care less about!
How do you think, rigorously? With examples? That I can care about!
Break it down. Where does Steele go off track in the link I provided?
Peter AU, WHERE does Israel Shamir go off track? (weeks ago question never answered. Peter just “likes some things, not others”. WHICH ones, dammit??? Why???
Without that, it’s just your opinion, your prejudice. Even though you have sensible things to say, very often, in themselves such impressions as above without any attempt to prove, by construction, as it were, your statement, really just sounds “liberal” PC unsubstantiated opinion.
“Nut job conspiracy theorist.”
I mean, come on! Anyone who is the least bit effective will get that thrown at them, at a minimum! And then the keyboard warrior tosses around the same unsubstantiated formulations at people that are in a position to do millions to billions of times more against the enemy of humanity than you or I??? Sad!!! Doesn’t help anything.
I’ve listened to a number of things from Steele, but I did not listen to the entire thing (only a few minutes) you linked to, for two reasons: I did not have time (and don’t have much now to get into this), and I found it very annoying the part I heard, that it was constantly interrupted apparently from Jones asking something, but with that part edited out so I did know what he was asking (and I find Jones annoying to listen to anyway, like a high pressure salesman). One of the things I’ve Steele go into before is the stuff about space aliens, which he makes definitive statements about, but with no direct knowledge — he said he saw books and videos about it — and then ties it in with various conspiracies. This is material one needs hard evidence about, and those others (who he mentioned somewhere in one of his videos’ that say they they personally saw things but then can’t get the story straight are of no help at all (I looked a few of them up — did a little research a few weeks back).
I reloaded the video and hit a few sopts at random. In one, about 17 minutes, he’s talking about Trump really needs him. This is an ego trip. Trump may indeed need some help, but it doesn’t have to be from Steele. 20 minutes in is the pitch for donations. The speech patterns are close to Art Bell, or the typical evangelist cult shyster.
Just past 9 minutes he say Jones is ‘our natural leader’. Well, he sure isn’t my leader!
There are also some problems with Steele regarding his right wing POV where he says things, typical of the far right, that are simply incorrect. This is not about how I ‘feel’, and I never said it was. It’s a judgement call based on what I have seen and heard. Listen, but be careful and follow up for verification and further information.
Epstein was charged with pedophile offences . . . . good cover, right?
TTC the substance of my post above has to do with all the words but the last 7.
Those seven were a gentle poke at Dennis to lay aside his obsession until Maidan USA is stopped. Not directed at any wives, sisters, girlfriends, daughters.

It seems that an attempt is afoot to massage, shape, and guide dissent regarding the western destruction of Ukraine.
The Larouche Political Action Committee seems to be unhappy that dissenters are not dissenting the way they ‘should’ be dissenting. Basically, if your dissent is not focused on the evil British Crown, they you suck and, as for your torment over injustice in Ukraine, get over it. Ukraine is just a symptom. Never mind the thousands of deaths, ruined lives, and re-animated fascism.
New Silk Road! New Silk Road! New Silk Road!
I’m just having a difficult time appreciating the way LarouchePAC seems to be, in their pdf, weaving their own particular flavor of narrative out of the Ukraine crisis.

Depending on THEIR filter.
Got to run, but let’s break it down later today or tomorrow. Must work today.
Cheerio!
Yeah, it’s just you. I read the whole article and I recommend you reread it. Nothing factually wrong with the article in the least. You’re just soft on the A part of the AZ Empire.
Get over that Anglo-feely-feely issue of yours and please note that Natalya Vitrenko’s Ukrainian dissent against Maidan in her country may get her killed while you grouse about your offended Anglophile sensibilities.
Vitrenko, in the article you linked:
“Our people are suffering badly from war, extreme poverty, corruption, political repressions,
and the rampaging of neo-Nazis. The outgoing U.S. Administration kept stirring up the people
of Ukraine against Russia, thereby inciting a war between our fraternal peoples, one that unquestionably threatens to trigger a Third World War.”
She knows it’s the British. So does an analyst that Kurt cited in his link in the Flynn thread a week ago, here:

No, the point of the article is that the same actors in the Ukrainian Maidan are trying a US Maidan. The British are involved in both, I assure you. And you want to quibble over the land transportation strategy OBOR that will forever end their paradigm of sea and banking based Empire power, on the model of Venice? Because your Anglophile or anti-LaRouche sensibilities are offended?? Not useful at all. “SAD!”

This is good stuff. Really, really good stuff. Like the collateral damage reports, my sense is that good (Love) is waking up, and Fear has a very very great deal to fear as a result.
That’s their only route to freedom and love (losing this fight!), but slaves that they are, what else can they do but fear and loathe those spiritual qualities so opposite to their own control matrix?? But hey, they worked themselves into this dark corner, where poverty, jail, and perhaps death through execution may be the only ways out of their own self-inflicted trap.
Spiritual drama of the highest global (and perhaps solar system) order!
These spooks that can read all this code are in the exciting battle of their lives. I can get a general sense of consciousness rising. It’s all very thrilling.
Even if you lack the ability to decipher all the coded language, dive in and let your intuition guide you!
The ‘doomsday’ vault in Norway used by Wikileaks as accompanying ‘illustration’ is certainly ‘interesting’.
Especially since a bunch of eugenicists – Rockefellers, Gates – are heavily involved.
Did someone mention ‘useless eaters’?

which besides the video I only had time to half review so far has more elaborate, cooperative written text discussion in aid of FBI Anon’s efforts, which must be aided, IMO.
His was posted a week before yours, but they work well in tandem, maybe better , with yours first.
Trump will get swarmed by rats and gnats unless these supporting efforts gear up, fast. The source makes the clear point it is Pedo-Gate going back decades of Mossad specialty…..not just this latest pizza twist in DC that is disorienting to some who don’t have the longer range perspective and get frozen in indecision because they are unsure of themselves.
These two together are a remedy for that queasiness, as they fortify people to hang in there, be strong.

Rats! I thought it would be a video about making a sword.
I once made on from a piece of scrap automobile leaf spring, but without a proper forge or tools I couldn’t reduce the thickness down from about 1/4″ so it much too heavy. Made a better heavy club than sword. Leaf spring is (or was — maybe the ones now are too fancy a high alloy and need fancy heat treatment) decent steel and good shape blank for such things, and costs about nothing as scrap — but you need a good forge, and smithing equipment is not cheap, or easy to come by.
You also need ear protection — old blacksmiths often go deaf. But it’s fun stuff to do.
For the final hardening quench water may be too severe, but you can use a horizontally positioned fat neocon or nazi — Poroshenko should work fine, and imbue it with the proper violent destructive spirit.
Sorry my friend. I’ll make it up to you later with a movie or two, when he makes it for me.
I do have a short “Japanese style” sword, made from a 1950 or so American jeep leaf spring.

to continue a news story posted several days ago about radioactive iodine release in Eastern Europe supposedly:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4250098/US-nuclear-sniffer-plane-flies-Norway.html
I have pulled together some info from two sites re the possible source of the iodine release.
Natural gas pipeline leak tests were performed after four devastating earthquakes hit Central Italy on 18 January, and that since that date, has left, at least, over half the continent awash in the deadly radioactive particle Iodine-131.
Iodine-131 ….. due to its high volatility, transforms into a unique purple vapour upon contact with air, and since the late 1940’s, has been used a radioactive tracer to discover pipeline leaks.
Under the nuclear accident protocols signed between Norway and the RF Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation in 2015, the Norwegian energy giant Statoil, this past November, notified the Ministry of Defense (MoD) that they were in preparations to conduct various Iodine-131 leak tests on their natural gas pipelines due to their concerns some of them may have been damaged after a 4.7 magnitude earthquake hit the Sogn og Fjordane region 9 October 2016.
Statoil notified the RF MoD it was beginning their Iodine-131 leak tests estimated to take 3-4 weeks from 23 Dec. Note this corresponds with US Air Force reports showing that during week 2 of January 2017, this radioactive pipeline tracer was being detected in northern Norway.
On 18 January (2017), a series of 4 major earthquakes hit Italy. Immediately RF energy giant Gazprom reported that standard natural gas pipeline use in the European Union had ceased for reasons not explained.
In failing to get any information from the EU as to what was occurring with their vast natural pipeline network, the RF MoD airborne radiation experts raised concerns about massive quantities of Iodine-131 being detected over nearly the entire continent.
With the US Air Force confirming that Iodine-131 was detected in Finland, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, France and Spain, until the end of January, the question is why didn’t the EU simply notify their citizens of these natural gas pipeline tests being conducted—unless, of course, and as always, they are using this type of normal pipeline maintenance to whip up anti-Russian hysteria—and as evidenced by Western propaganda headlines saying “FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE? Dangerous Radioactive Particles Have Been Detected Across Europe And No-One Knows Where They Came From”.
That Russia is at fault is unlikely, some claim, as winds and weather patterns go from the EU to Russia, not the other way around—with the only exception being if radiation from Ukraine (like Chernobyl) circulated the entire globe, but with Iodine-131 would be impossible to occur during its half life of 8 days.
Meanwhile. Jim fetzer: has an entirely different perspective:
WAIT A MINUTE:: he says.
Remember two weeks ago there was an explosion at a French nuclear plant? They said it was nothing. Now, there is radioactive iodine showing up all over Europe. Blamed on something the Russians did at the North Pole? If Russia did something at the North Pole, how come nothing showed up in Alaska or Northern Canada? Both are closer to the North Pole than Europe. Things that make you go Hmmmmmm . . . . . .
I’d bet that explosion in France really was something after all, and they do not want to admit it. How else do you get an American radiation sniffing plane flying around, and readings that say something big happened all over Europe and nowhere else?
@ White Whale: thanks for your intrepid research on this topic-radioactive iodine- and cogent questions.
It seems the first source was Sorcha Faal (#2244 on Feb 21st – Millions Warned At Risk After Pipeline Leak Tests In EU Cause Radiation Nightmare), and the second was related by Jim Stone on Feb 22nd. Yes, two good sites with good sources of their own, good judgment and quick reactions.
An interesting CrossTalk in which the two UK guests seem to be “against” Brexit. And they were against democratic “referendums”. Since just as the “elite” think,they are afraid the “people” might “dare” to vote the “wrong” way. And saying referendums aren’t “really” democratic”. While I on the other hand agree with the other guest (J.Flores) that they are the essence of true democracy. Having corrupted party “professional” politicos. Who “pretend” to represent their voters,only make the decisions for your country is instead the false democracy. When political leaders lose the “consent of the governed” or as the old Chinese saying used to go. When the political leaders “lose the mandate of heaven”. They need to resign,or be forced from office by their citizens. I doubt they will willingly resign. So the forced from office would be the way forward. In at least 90% of those cases.
A better case might be made about,can you really have “democracy” in a society where only money. And those having it “count”.When only the elite,or stooges of the elite,can come to power.Where without vast amounts of money to influence voters. No one else can have influence. Where almost (or all) the propaganda supports the elite in the society.Where the educational system (such as it is), is controlled to spread the message of the elite to future generations. In societies like that. Can we even truly talk about “democracy” . It’s that question that needs to be discussed in our societies.

Waiter !… I come here for shelter, so, please give me some drink, but not one pink. The players are in, but who’s gonna win ?
Winner and Loser
Who am I to tell you what to do,
Who am I to tell you what to think,
When I’m a man who’s just like you,
Wearing his cross and pushing
his stone, barking, with a blink…
The days have gone,
The days are coming
Some are winning
And some are losing.
If I’m a loser or I’m a winner,
Who dares to share his own fate ?
The world won’t move a finger
And anyway, the time is all too late.
The fight is going on, night and day,
Challenging the body, soul and mind
With changing feelings and a lot to say,
Or, saying nothing,
being deaf and blind.
Playing the game, again and again
Playing the game, always the same,
The same old tricks, the same old Road
The same old Serpent, the same old Oath.
Keeping alive the light of my candle
Day after day, in middle of the fight,
Sometimes is much to bear and handle
Doing my best and hoping that is right.
I wish I could just skip and jump in time
and let the miseries behind,
But that is wishful thinking, easy tool
on this earthly playing ground.
You can keep praying,
While gods are playing !
They play their game for thousand years
Giving us honey,… and much more tears.
Then, who’s the winner and who’s the loser,
Looking at Christ and His Last Supper ?
“Who dares to share his own fate ?”
Who dares to share an alien fate?
Who dares to live his unconscious fate?
Who dares to realize his own fate?
Who dares to quit realizing his own fate?
Each one born has his fate from the
first breath as a “moment in the conversation
of the Gods” Jung
I don’t know what you mean with “an alien fate”, maybe extraterrestrial one ? I’m speaking on myself and I’m a human – as far as I know – or maybe as in German “fremde”, has other meaning. which means a man who is not known, a stranger. My fate, and others is conscious as long we feel it and we have to live with. Imagine, I dare to realize my own fate but I can’t quit because as you say, I had a conversation with the Gods. Jung was a very intelligent man but don’t forget, he also had his own conversation. I would say something here, which has been turn up-side-down : Meine Ehre heißt Treue – Loyalty is my honour. I am faithful to my God as long as I live and I know that the other gods, whatever they jealous they are, they will lose the battle because of Christ’s blood. An epic drama is going on since then. An epic fight is going on since then, and it will have it’s pike which is nearing.
“as in German “fremde”, has other meaning. which means a man who is not known, a stranger”
exactly that was meant: not- the- own one. The “stranger” must not be unknown, on the contrary: it is style to copy a style, to copy a star, to copy the succesfull … what happens to the fate of such copyists?
You’re a wise man, you tell me. Who are the copyists ? Maybe I have some clue but I don’r want to scream it out right now.
my heart instantly knows, when I have to deal with an (unlucky) copyist it’s so boring
unless someone survives a breakdown a copyist is lost
And. For the very few of you (I hope) that do not believe that this man is VERY serious.
Think again.

Somewhere in my older archives I have this very interesting photo of the then Miss Merkel as a young woman in a situation that might seem normal for some, but would be very embarrassing for Mrs. Merkel today (or any day). And that one is not manipulated in any way.
When I find it I will publish it here first (promise).
In the meantime you would have to settle for this one. (Made during the long night of negotiations in Minsk).

You mean the FDJ propagandist bathing naked in the Templin lake? It is well known… East Germany, communism, c…sex… Seemingly at that time she did not know yet that as a daughter of Adolf Hitler she should impart her charms only to stallions true to the common cause („Unsere Ehre heißt Treue!“) or to future victims to be charmed into submission, like Porky. For a good collection of „Merkel“ pix have a look at http://www.evilyoshida.com/thread-4556.

There’s been a huge jump in radiation CPM in the last few weeks.
https://yourradiationthisweek.org/2017/02/11/gamma-radiation-report-yrtw-sol-no-3-and-4/
Also recently, the big earthquake near Fukushima in Japan, largely unreported, was on land
and shallow, and likely touched off still more radiation into the ocean and jet stream.
And now there’s talk of installing millions of water pumps to refreeze the Arctic.
Latrogenesis may not be the solution after all.

Enjoy.
” I don’t know, what exactly is going on between Miles Matthis and Mark Tokarks”
Nothing to worry about. Miles is a steppenwolf, a loner and does sensational work. Mark wanted to get Miles approval of his own interesting work, but Miles had no inclination and time for that.
nice try,
I really appreciate and welcome your information here!
Therefore I would like to share with you (and others who are interested) some very, very important facts regarding our health. For certain reasons I can’t talk freely and openly so far and I have to navigate carefully and maybe hint only here and there.
Despite this and the average consciousness here on earth, one can easily ridicule me as a fool…
What you and we have discussed so far here – supplements, vitamins, amino acids – is very important, especially in age. But compared with the “real deal”, these are just candy puzzles in a bigger picture.
I mean this here:
https://www.google.de/search?q=christie+brinkley&hl=de&gl=de&biw=1124&bih=917&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjk_a7x1ajSAhUM2SwKHX2cBtYQ_AUIBygA&dpr=1
The woman is 63 years old…
My grandma looked different with 63. You can believe me…
Of course it’s obvious, that she’s on HRT (hormone replacement therapy), mainly Somatropin (HGH), Estrogen, DHEA, IGF-1, low dose Testosterone (for woman important also).
Externally she’s working with stem cell therapy to give the skin the finishing touch.
The problem with HRT is, it works as hell and yes it is from hell. It’s a very powerful approach from the satanic side. Why? Because you become a “Synthetic Hormone Addict”. Your glands nearly stop producing your own hormones, so that you can’t stop the HRT anymore easily. And if, then maybe with very serious health consequences and problems. Much greater than before you started the HRT…
So where is the real deal?
Have you ever heard that we use maybe only 10% of our brain?
Have you ever heard that maybe only 10% of our DNA is active and that the rest is “junk”?
What if I tell you, that around the antediluvian epoch the electrostatic tension of the atmosphere were 10-times higher than today?
Oh wait! What was the life span of humans before the flood? 300, 400, 500 years, up to 700-800 years. What was the average life span after the flood? 30, 40, 50 years and very rarely 70-80 years.
Do we have here again the factor 10?
Do the math…
Tesla new much more about electro-magnetism, than it’s known today. Especially the biological effects of the special modulations, frequencies and resonances of electricity. He was connected with other very bright minds of his time, which were and are not so prominent like he was. But they took Tesla’s technology and developed it further with Tesla’s help with the aim of medical treatment.
I’m personally involved in some underground groups and networks, who are working on this stuff. I witnessed personally the possible effects and can testify before God.
To put a short story long: it is possible to increase your hormone levels by an average of 30% only by applying electro-magnetism without any side-effects. Your own glands start producing your own hormones. If you apply this technology to a young, healthy person, he won’t notice anything. So no “overload” possible. If you apply this technology to ill and/or old people, they will thank you for giving them 20-25 years of their life back!
It is clear by now, that our body is an excellent, super-intelligent “hardware” which don’t needs any alteration!
The only thing “our hardware” needs is: energy.
The right energy.
The right form of electro-magnetism.
Biologically compatible electro-magnetism.
God bless!
Very interesting and provocative – in a sense – what you wrote. You did mention the 10% usage of our brain. That’s a fact I also read about. The question comes . who did this with the humans and – not less interesting – why ? Are there some supervisors who are constantly examining our behavior in time ? If they are doing this, what is their purpose ? I have some answer – as usual, they (the gods) won’t come here to answer – so, what remains for us, 10 percentage humans, is, to speculate, and I’m doing this straight : at first, to understand something, read the Genesis 3:22 from the Bible.
Then you will have a clearer picture on what we are and why we are so. The Gods are saying that we are like them, but we are very dangerous ( as we all know, for instance – much more in the war-rooms) So, being such a dangerous specimen, they (gods) decided that we have to have a lower intensity in thinking because we, the humans, will put in danger the whole system on which they(the gods) have agreed upon, if we have the whole capabilities on 100%. Well, just look at the reason of this blog and you have an answer, in the case that the history books don’t offer enough information on what is the human path and what has till now achieved. Ok, some will say ” if we could have the 100% brain usage capability, we won’t be here but in a much better situation”
Really ? just take a look at what the best brains are used for : power over other people, thus enslaving them for the benefit of some who call themselves, elite. You know the reality which we are talking about daily, would be a better life here if 100% brain usage would be permitted ? The Empire would enslave not just this world but the entire Universe. Now, before I quit this rant, think about what would have happen if the opposition would have had and would have a 100% brain usage at his/her disposal, but I let this thoughts to you.
The 10% of brain usage is a myth — the brain is holographic and can’t be broken into used and unused areas.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_percent_of_the_brain_myth
Well, I’m not a neurologist, so I cannot give you an 100% answer, I rely only on what I’m reading in terms of human biological structures. In the same time, I have doubts that you know the real answer.
Here is a site : http://www.neilslade.com/Papers/how.html
You might know very well, that the human science – even in this particular case – is very far from what they – the scientists – are saying. The human science is still walking in kids shoes, the sad thing is that we feel enthusiastic about that science. They need to sale their “discoveries” for their survival.
If they keep us in the darkness, is part of the 90% which is missing, as is the case with all truths in our “modern” life. Or, you may think that the science is not part of the global establishment ? every road leads to Rome, and in this case, Rome represents (as metaphor) the epicenter of the global monopoly over the human kind, in all sectors, including the science.
That page says things in a confusing manner.
If you look at time lapse scans of brain activities you get a better picture, as you see activity starting on more or less one area and then encompassing more. Yes, it can be said to be holographic, to a degree — and that means that saying ‘one uses only 10%’ is incorrect. You can’t remove a large portion of the brain and have it function the same, as if that area was sitting idle, although intact areas can often perform or learn to perform, the functions of damaged parts. A few small parts damaged may not even noticed. We have not been able to locate ‘where’ some particular memory lives, and yet a damaged brain may some some memories difficult to recall. Perhaps call it semi-holographic.
It’s something like saying that in the movies where 10,000 workers are pulling a block of stone up a pyramid that all the workers are being used, and yet neither the group nor any worker, is exerting full strength, and if a few stop pulling the block still moves.
In the brain, you can also think of it’s functions as not being so much the individual neurons, dendrites, sheathing, and such performing the functions as the relationships and activities and patterns among them doing it. If you lose a substantial part of the brain, as in a stroke, then you can also impair whatever functions or memories were more or less centered in that area.
The point is, it makes no sense to say that we would be much smarter is we could only wake up the 90% we never use. In a hologram, if we cut a piece of it away we still get the complete image, but with less resolution. Similar when we compress an image or sound file. When we learn things we don’t grow new brain cells to do it (although we can and do grow more cells), but establish more connections and relationships among elements, and that generally happens redundantly, with more connections resulting in ‘stronger’ memories and functions.
It’s not like a computer where if you drop a bit it may mess up an entire program or make a part of the disk unreadable, one of the old methods of copy protecting programs (which is why computers use error-correction, redundancy schemes and backup files). Brains and computers operate very differently. Brains might be said to work more like the internet — losing information on the internet usually means that it can’t be found rather than it’s gone because it likely still exists somewhere, on some computer or server. Do we use only 10% of the internet? That’s sort of the same kind of question.
blue
You said : ” do we use only 10% of the internet ? ” – yes, bu probably much less. Technically is impossible to have a 100% view on all the tremendous information of all sorts in the same time. Just by searching something, you’ll find millions of answers. The brain is much better computer, much faster, working with the speed of thought but not always “reliable” because of some memory disorder. With aging, this disorder gets worse and with death, the whole “hard disc” is lost…or not.
I do believe that not.
Who can measure the knowledge lost in information?
T. S. Eliot asked the question once, though far more elegantly.
I may have lost the information (where to find the poem right now).
I have, however, not lost the ‘knowledge’. That is in my heart.
Memories are often not reliable — I glimpsed an email from the cognitiveneuroscience list recently (did not read carefully) about new research showing, again, how unreliable, and I have certainly found much of mine pretty sketchy — but we have ways of usually coping with that. I forget the word I want — but I can think of other words which might do, and I know how to look words up, or I wait a few days and eventually a name or word is retrieved from who knows where. There are also things which I have completely misremembered: thinking something was ‘this’ when it was ‘that’.
It isn’t even the speed so much as how we process and use information, and, as Franz mentions, knowledge (and learned skills). I’m going to assert that all the AI they are trying to deal with now is not (human) intelligence at all, but only an imitation of intelligence, like a motorcycle is an imitation of a horse. As good as a motorcycle might get in some ways you can never fall asleep on one and still get home. Qualitative difference. We define intelligence (and memory) in ways that exclude much of human activity, and make it easier for science to do things with the idea. Measuring IQ doesn’t not measure intelligence but what a person does with a particular test under particular circumstances, and then we try to extrapolate from that.

Slo Mo coup Day 35:
From the WSJ: 1. front page headline ” Intelligence agencies hide information from Trump” The article was a mish-mash of talking points but deeply buried in the article was the admission that only the actual sources of the information were kept from him which is actually S.O.P. often with other Presidents, but that nothing critical to the safety of the US was withheld. However, given his presumed questionable affection for Russians and his impulsive speech habit, sources were kept secure. i.e. Trump is a blab mouth at best and a traitor at worse. And this was addressed to a President who told them to keep their briefing short and to the point.
2. Next, there was an editorial given top billing threatening him with “1974” i.e. disposal a la Nixon….. they do not dare take outright credit for 1963 since that was shadow coup but the message was clear.
Le Pen refused police summons for questioning over EU ‘fake jobs’ probe – lawyer
French right-wing presidential candidate Marine Le Pen refused to attend a summons for questioning by police last Wednesday, her lawyer, Rodolphe Bosselut, told Reuters. Earlier, her chief of staff, Catherine Griset, was put under formal investigation in a probe into the alleged misuse of EU money. Bosselut said Le Pen learned of the police summons on February 21 after returning from her Lebanese visit. “She believes that there is a risk that justice is being used as a tool in the election campaign,” Bosselut said. “She will attend any summons after the elections.”
I do not mean to belabor a point i.e. that Russia may have no choice but to intervene to stabilize the Ukraine if things get toxic enough to float over borders:
from RT today:
OSCE monitors warn of possible environmental disaster in E. Ukraine
An environmental disaster is possible after the filtration station in Yasynuvata village in Ukraine’s Donetsk region was shelled overnight, Ertugrul Apakan, the head of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine, said on Friday. People on both sides of the contact line are dependent on the station for drinking water, while “chlorine tanks at the plant [are] potentially exposing the wider area to the release of poisonous gas,” he said, while stressing that the shelling of the station “shows a complete disregard for human life.” The OSCE monitor urged both Kiev and the rebels to cease hostilities and withdraw weaponry, as was agreed upon in the Minsk deal.
Per this cafe masthead I call this the High Road Cafe from Balcony Bay, like in a Shakespearean theater globe. I’m looking down at me and you conversing at Philippa’s “The Cafe’sa ten times table” where the inn menu has ten love courses.
My meme is internet conversation among competent peers. The flag outside proclaims; “Stop War.” If we could meet say, a couple miles from here at the Farmer and Cook Cafe/ Restaurant in Meiner’s Oaks it would be different than this virtual venue. I could see you in the flesh and talk accordingly but here I have only your name, real or pseudonymous or anonymous to go with your thoughts.
Last evening I was conversing with a friend in this sixty square foot “cafe” and it had a different reality due to the face to face flesh and the shared love for love, vegan vibes. This vineyard cafe is much broader in scope but has similar qualities of a conversational nature. I’m going to pretend that your names are you here and now in a more than ghostly presence. I’ll play recorder to the conversation.
Diet was discussed by nice try, Bro 93 and Prometeus when we first sat down. We were all more or less into natural and organic. I said that at 77 I had come to a place where I just ate good food with no supplements added.
Alex Kramer said heart attacks were not natural from a rational view with a dig at irrationality embedded in science which called forth a rebuttal and defense from nice try. My memory chip is aging so I may be missing and messing up as in the telephone circle game.
I perked up with blue’s gut take on gut bacteria. nice try refocused my attention with pre-modern health modes superior to ours. What about blubber he mused. I thought of paranormal diets like breatharians have and nuns who live on a single host of unleavened bread, not to mention yogis with siddha powers. One person’s normal is another’s paranormal in a quantum world.
Kent interjected a virtual video of a grand eco-system as only he can do. Then nice try narrowed the focus to clear sight. That hit home since I’ve been wondering about why my vision is not perfect 20/20. Something I don’t want to see?
Plainsman hit a nerve when he recalled the vagus nerve. That lit up a connection in my brain that ran down to my heart.
Then out of the blue from left field came a shock and awe moment with a pic of Christie Brinkley at 63, a Barbie Doll of the new age. If I was ever tempted to be a Ken, she turned that desire to toast.
vot tak and blue blew my mind with EM, tricorders, quantum sniffers, random noise, lasar vibrating reflections and “running water…talking secret things.” I reflected on strange experiences of my own where I heard voices in running and splashing water. What’s that about? When I lay in bed for an hour waiting for the daylight I can hear “white noise” and see “white light.” Don’t freak out. I think these are natural organic senses like touch, smell and taste; light and dark grainy patterns like wall-paper or fabric. Maybe tears in the fabric of normality that when I’m relaxed just appear.
Roacheforque made a connection between the alt right and stopping war. Yes, I think the alt right stars are an intermediate stage to reduce big government and induce sanity with more national sovereignty. The left arouses my disgust with their manic panic attacks to assassinate arising from their impotence. But the pendulum will swing and spin.
Oh, love, how beautiful you are. That feeling came from Dido and her Om Shanti link. Reminded me of Krishna in the Love Bower before joining Arjuna at the battle of Kurukshetra with the Love Army.
Oh, my mundo, my mundo, do not misunderstand. Your wife is God’s answer. She is a sign of the Lover, an archetype of universal love. You mentioned phenomenology, my favorite philosophy where things just appear as gifts a la Jacques Derrida. In that light the Archetype Sex is one wing to balance the other wing of War on either side of the bird of love. Freud was necessary for the appearance of Jung. Do not fear. My ten orders may be mere psychic dominants from a crazy essayist in the desert who sees the universe from the dominion within. It’s nothing at all.
Damn. Eimar may be right. Freud was obsessed with sex that had to do with cocaine as substitute gratification. He died from smoke in the throat at the oral stage.
Then came a gift from teranam 13 in the form of information. Why do I think people hate me when they may only disagree? Projection? Yes, certainly but it does not follow that there is no hatred coming from outside myself. If I project, others may also. Do I love to be hated? Certainly but it does not follow that others do not actually hate me also. Not to gainsay your point which is well taken.
I do like to take the higher moral ground. That’s one thing for sure. I agree that one motive is so that I can love others’ hatred and their perceived stubborn ignorance. This kind of mechanism would fit with my history of being a priest and the son of a mother who told me I was her favorite among her four children.
If I give too much weight to the projection analysis, I fall into solipsism where the whole universe becomes my projection. Not good or true. Since the mods would disallow someone from honestly saying to me: “I hate you,” I will never know for sure if others really do hate me or my ideas. The evidence of ad hominems and slurs upon me or my ideas lends some credence to actual hatred not deriving from me. So what? Hatred is better than indifference.
I remember well Thomas Merton’s shocking death. I will take your advice about ungrounded electric wires (and at my age ungrounded feet). Thanks for that and the russian couplets.
Poison? Thanks for the Churkin link, the master. And chemical weapons, White Whale.

This is getting long. Time for a seventh inning stretch before the heavy hitters come to the plate. As you might surmise, Dennis Leary is only one name in this game of many names. What’s it all about, Alfie? I’d say it’s all about us from that High Road Balcony frontispiece above; in short, love.
I’m not sure if this is a strike or a ball, or if it’s about me. It sounds like me but I may have swung and missed. “…love and concern for errant, narcissistic old boys that one masochistically calls ‘hate’ (Cheap shot! Wrong! Soros-like!) to disarm the Chastity/Modesty Crusade.” The exclamation marks indicate a matter of some importance but there’s too much information for my too little brain. Bro 93, this is a keeper. What can I say that is better left unsaid?
My batteries are getting low even though I’m plugged in to the EM polarity feed, to quote Talks-to-Cats. My circuits are getting jammed and the interference is annoying. Another experimental failure? Pardon. Time to reboot with the thought of love. All clear. See you on the other side. Save my place, please.
Denis ,
dear, not only you, but constantly you, not only for you, but also for all of us you demonstrate the exiting and boring encircling of the conundrum, how to spinn the thread of conversation along the day with other elders in the tepee.
I feel like gratefull for conversations with the spirit of the autor in man in this planetary cafe.
Gratefull like in Vienna 1999 talking to and with a circle of sophisticated males, a professor, a baloon- seller, a.s.o, in a Heurigen Schänke.
And I’m so happy with these unique poems of you different souls. It is an innocent busyness like drawing a mandala and then washing it into the river. The soul has seen the gods again.

“a healthy grunting sow at the farmer’s barn” – well, well, I must read Jung, he does know something, which I don’t but you my friend, have learned the lesson. The irony is welcomed and kept in mind.
ioan,
do it. I recommend his quasi autobiography. It’s incredible:
https://www.amazon.com/Memories-Dreams-Reflections-C-G-Jung/dp/0679723951
Light and fast, with sloping armour that could take a frontal hit from 800 meters from the German tanks which was better than other heavier square fronted tanks of the day – or so I have read – and fast enough to get around the side and take them out.
Fast and manoeuvrable seems to carry through to today for Russian tanks, Amata with the addition of state of the art armour plus live defence.
Hi Peter, good to see you here again.
When the subject turns to human health I always think of the one system of health that makes sense to me. That is RBTI, it is a supressed model of thinking about human health that I believe is part of the key to our future. We need to open up the sciences again to innovation, and honest research. Do a search on the subject before that information is scrubbed from the web.
Tall (small…white is black, black is white, in the NWO….) to go please. Got to get back to work. Forgot a few things at home.
Salt of the earth day. OK, maybe “salt and pepper of the earth”??
Most of the blacks I know voted for Trump, but I had to check out one household (minor repair) of Hillary Clinton blacks and give them a nice historic extra large postcard of Richard Nixon and Martin Luther King shaking hands at the White House. MLK had to have been killed, very soon after that.
These nice big postcards were laying on the counter free at the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda which my wife and I visited yesterday. Her dad (engineer, now retired) liked it several years ago, but he said the presidential helicopter (Sikorski) had out-dated electronics compared to what he worked on in Russia in that era (of the Nixon resignation…1974).
The black anti-Trump husband and wife were manic and euphoric at a higher pitch than I have ever seen anyone discussing politics:
“Trump is so funny! He’s not going to last 3 months! He doesn’t understand politics. It’s not the same as business. He thinks it is. You voted for him, didn’t you? Look at this (either CNN or MSNBC…not sure which) Trump tally today. A conservative group shows up waving Russian flags! (4-5 big Russian flags with the supposed lettters of some conservative group on them……dirty trick, likely…….) We’re going to get him out so fast !! You know, the Russians own him, that’s why he won’t release his tax returns.”
I thought the “Stop the US Maidan” L-Pac Day of Action might have been slight hyperbole. Apparently not.
I said, “Well you can’t really understand any of this without understanding 911 (which I partially went over with them 6-7 months ago, and she half got. Him? Blank stare.). And, I said, I dropped off some reading for you guys, with ___________ (the guy next door….engineer, from Argentina…US citizen, voted for Trump………….liked Che when he was a young man in Argetina……) When he’s done with it, I asked him to give it to you guys.”
It was a copy of Parts 1 and 2 The Collateral Damage Report on 911 in terms of its aspects as a financial crime….involving a few hundred billion in 10 yr treasury bonds maturing in Sept/Oct 2001 that had to be destroyed….as the liquidity was used in the early 90’s to buy up big chunks of Russia’s oil and gas industries, according to the reports.
Here they are: http://www.israelshamir.net/Contributors/Collateral_Damage_911.pdf
and: http://www.israelshamir.net/Contributors/Collateral_Damage_Part_II_26122008.pdf
I hope those blow some circuits. Oh, there’s a bunch of gold in them thar reports (Japanese, when Marcos was toppled, Russian, thanks to Yeltsin and oligarchs, etc) also.

There are plenty of RBTI discussions, videos, and web sites on the Internet.
Here’s a tip for your Ukrainian friends, now that electricity is going away in the western parts, with the coal blockade.
To do wash by hand, use a laundry sink or bathtub with a drain, put something like a plastic milk crate sold for storage in it, and then put the clothes in the crate. Fill the sink with water, add detergent, and knead the clothes to wash them. Open the drain, squeeze the dirty water out and down the drain, and do the same thing with clean water to rinse. Let the clothes sit for a while to drain further until you can lift them out to hang to dry. The milk crate is the key thing, so you can drain the water out while the clothes are too heavy to lift and so the clothes don’t block the drain. Then use some hand lotion so your hands won’t chap as fast.
I guess it can be adapted for conditions without running water.
Get used to it. (I had to do that for a couple of months once when the washer quit, but at least I still had a working dryer, and it does get very tiresome).
Tip for kerosene lamps: keep the wicks trimmed smooth and polish the chimney and keep dirt or oil, including finger prints off it. Use battery operated LED light when possible.
And, without a running refrigerator, get a good pressure cooker. After cooking and taking some food out, seal the pot and bring it up to pressure again so the food that is left is sort-of canned and doesn’t spoil.
And learn how to pickle of you don’t already know.
Put a bit of kefir grain in the milk so it turns into kefir instead of spoiling.
Yup, a good time for Ukrainians to learn about primitive living.

Trouble is’ Donbas warning today of possible all out attack by ukr forces……
That’s been going on for a while — something like a volcano which erupt at any time but can’t be predicted with accuracy. If they attack I expect Donbas will be capable of handling it, and the Russia has been augmenting defensive capability. Already attacks have been increasing of late, though. I think yesterday I read at Fort Russ the artillery attacks had doubled.
But there are also hints that there is some rethinking of strategy to knock to orc attacks down.

Military World Games in Sochi to Show Example of Fair Competition- MoD
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201702201050871770-russia-sochi-drills/
“The example of fair fight and deserved victory is especially important for us now, when world-class sports is politicized,” Pankov told reporters.
“This is Russia’s first time hosting this type of competition. It is a great opportunity for us to show the achievements of our military sport and to demonstrate our openness and readiness for work as well our Russian hospitality,” Pankov added.
The deputy minister said that about 1,000 people from 26 countries would participate in the games.
The event will take place in Sochi, in the southwest of Russia, on February 22-28. The program includes contests in biathlon, cross country skiing, ski mountaineering, alpine skiing, short track speed skating, rock-climbing and orienteering.”
And without a bunch of zionazis and their knee bepadded right wing yes bois running the event, it should be what the olympics stopped being, a real competition.
We often hear western media criticize entities such as RT, which they call government-funded.
The BBC has a section called BBC Monitoring, which collects and analyzes foreign media and websites such as this one for open source intelligence, and which supplies the information not only to BBC journalists, but also to the state intelligence services. And this is its actual mandate!

“The negative reaction of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to the report of Richard McLaren proves that the document was politicized and sponsored, Russian senator Alexei Pushkov said on Saturday.
“Regardless of what follows, it is already clear that the McLaren report was a political order. Too fast, too blurred, but then – as ordered,” Pushkov wrote on Twitter.”
PM: U.S. Troops Have Moved to Russia’s Borders [link added: http://womenagainstmilitarymadness.org/newsletter/2017/02second/secondindex.html
by Polly Mann
The Russian reply could have been predicted. Vladimir Putin’s spokesman is reported to have said, “We perceive it [the deployment of troops] as a threat. These actions threaten our interests, our security. Especially as it concerns a third party building up its military presence near our borders. It’s the U.S., not even a European state.” (The Guardian, January 12, 2017). These plans were made under the Obama administration ahead of the next president and are part of EUCOM (U.S. European Command is one of the seven combatant commands that the entire globe has been divided into for U.S. military “responsibility”.). During the presidential campaign Donald Trump said he would rather work with Putin than confront him. But his chosen Secretary of Defense, James Mattis, said that the West should recognize that Putin was trying to break NATO, which has been struggling to cope with Russia’s use of hybrid, or many-faceted, warfare.
The U.S. sent Poland 87 tanks and 144 armored vehicles. And Britain is sending troops–1,000 of them. This is part of Atlantic Resolve, training events taking place with command over European troops along Russia’s borders with 4,000 U.S. troops and 2,000 tanks arriving in Eastern Europe (The U.S. Marines have also arrived in Norway.) We are told that the U.S. military build-up on Russia’s borders is to reassure NATO partners after the referendum of the Crimea area of Ukraine resulted in joining Russia in 2014that, and the continued Russian involvement in Ukraine (no mention of U.S. involvement!)
Ewen MacAskill of The Guardian stated, “Few at NATO seriously believe war with Russia is likely, but there have been dangerous developments. Russia alarmed eastern European states by moving nuclear capable Islander M missiles to its naval base at Kaliningrad in the autumn.”
Is it any wonder that Russia acted thus with the tremendous build-up on its borders (Plans and execution began long before the latest incursion. Along with missiles and Star Wars planted in Europe,Trident Juncture 2015 was a show of force in Eastern European countries along Russia’s border.)?
Major General Timothy McGuire, deputy commanding general of the U.S. Army Europe, says, “The best way to maintain peace is preparation.” How about “The best way to maintain peace is not preparing for war but actually maintaining peace”?
Polly Mann is a co-founder of Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) and a frequent contributor to the Women Against Military Madness newsletter.
When I’ll see mobilization in mass in the NATO countries, then I would believe in an attack on Russia.
With a few tank brigades and a few riffle regiments, they don’t pose a real danger. Is just a show, a barking to the Moon. The west knows very well how dire is their situation in military field when it comes to have a bate with Russia. The recruitment is not going well, the young people won’t join in with pleasure ( could they keep their iPhone’s ? ) .

I’ve been thinking about how to stop war. I’ve identified ten causes associated with the Love Army but I feel the need to simplify even more. Boil it down to the essence.
I need a contrasting term for war. Peace doesn’t do it for me. Laying in bed awake for two hours this morning I finally hit upon a concept that might work to clarify by contrast. Sex. Not just any old sex but the quintessence of sex.
War is all around us. This vineyard owes its existence to war. Most of our economy runs on war and it’s deeply rooted in our psychology after millenia of patriarchal propaganda. I have developed my ideas of Love and War. However love is a very general concept. Sex is more specific and actually is the earthly heart of love.
I conceptualize love as in the middle between war and sex, like with a bell curve. We can love war and we can love sex. Love is the center and circumference of my thought. War and sex are the extremes of love.
What is the heart of sex? It is the act of climax and orgasm which is usually but not always accompanied by ejaculation. In our culture it is relatively brief. There is a period where our normal consciousness changes and we lose control to a different state. It is “ecstatic” in the literal sense of “standing outside of” normal consciousness.
Our normal consciousness is now conditioned by war. Even when we are most peaceful war hovers in the background and affects us from its underground. Drugs seem like one way to break its grip but not really since drugs are a type of war on our normal consciousness/body.
Orgasmic sex is perfectly natural. In the love culture of our origins (and with our originators) sex was our connection to source. This ecstatic experience was the most important part of our life and was codified in rituals (religion per se) within a communal context.
We lost that in the Fall of Man when patriarchal men rejected the system of love-sex for violence-power. In other words, the ecstasy of war replaced the ecstasy of sex. Hence the dichotomy of “war and sex.”
Sex within a sacred communal originary condition is the antidote to war. The lack (murder of) this kind of sex is the chief cause of war. When a vacuum of value based on the annihilation of communal sacred sex occurs, war rushes in and metastasizes through the whole social body.
I think the term “communal sex” was used by the Love Army to shake and wake us up. The Love Bower gave birth to the term since it is the situational setting for communal sex.
The term is radical and counter-cultural and therefore arouses fierce resistance prior to its eventual acceptance. We will either accept the natural facts or succumb to the aforementioned cancer.
Individual and paired sex, or group sex without sacred sex parameters simply will not do what is required to stop war. If it could, it would have already done so. Religion and secularism have likewise failed to stop war. The record is clear.
My assertion therefore is this: sacred communal sex is the true opposition to war. This hypothesis needs to stand the test of reason and evidence. I will pursue this project in a setting conducive to the purpose. May I say it is providential that we are gathered here under the flag of “stop the empire’s war on Russia?”
So to play off Saint Paul, the purported founder of “Christianity,” (after Jesus), we might say: “There remain these three–war, love and sex–but the greatest of these is love.”
Finally, a caution. What I am proposing is an idea, an ideal and an ideology. To avoid confusion, do not take that to mean an immediate application to physical, psychological and social conditions. On this planet patriarchy has had a 75,000 year history. It may take us that long to return to our roots. I believe that if we are to survive as a species and if the idea is true we will eventually accept the sexual facts. But we do not have to, and we simply cannot time-wise change overnight. In short, an idea is not a physical fact although in an holistic universe there is a connection. The first of the Ten Commendments is to “think love.” That should not be threatening. If it is, there is a short circuit somewhere in the thinking.
Now I too am “Pear” in the Annoying Orange skit, last 1-2 seconds: “Oh, God.”
https://youtu.be/QvwsUMgUJwk
Apple (sex) who gets diced and sliced. But no matter how you slice it, it’s only a small part of Love, not nearly the “essence” of love.
You’ve programmed yourself to think sex IS love. In some communistic public expression that after roughly a year, is getting me to question my early (spring 2016) defense of your useful right brain poetic powers of the associative mind—which were often pretty darned good, before the last 2-3 months of falling back repeatedly on the same New Age BS non-intelligible sermon people have gang tackled you for.
I was #64 pulling right guard for your end run reverses, but you have this stubborn habit of running toward the wrong goal line, so I guess I’m quitting those dead animal flesh packers and I think I’ll suit up as this Hall of Fame free safety who tackled people’s heads at a dead run from deep in the secondary:
http://www.profootballhof.com/players/larry-wilson/
In this case, I’d suggest there’s a virus at work, in some of your self-programming. Maybe over compensation for the Catholic experience of denying priests their sexuality. Then going haywire with New Age BS, that keeps you less than fully interested in exploiting weak enemy flanks, and determined to play the same sex tape over and over and over.
Sex is a delicate thing that can go all over the scale from good to evil. Unless the NWO is stopped, it’ll be mostly evil. I think that’s obvious to most everyone but you.
Agape is pure and politicly powerful. Easily corruptible Eros is for committed lovers and man and wife, otherwise its effects are not too “lovely”.
Since this site has a great deal to do with Russia, right now my associative mind conjures up another monk: Rasputin.
https://youtu.be/UmKxKylgtmM
Rumor has it he enjoyed a lot of sex, but it didn’t work out so well, communally, and politically speaking, did it??
Getting a lot less may not be ideal, but it is preferable to such crazed excess, IMHO.
Think Agape for victory. Eros is a weapon deployed by the other side to compromise people and control them. Dangerous. Sad.
Orgasmic sex is perfectly natural.
That is so wrong!
For animals: yes.
For intellectual animals (us): unfortunately yes.
For those who aspire the way of Christ, to develop the full potential of a human being, one have to invert what you said:
Orgasmic sex is perfectly UNnatural.
Orgasmic sex is the cause of war!
It begins with the war between sexes: man vs woman.
It ends with the war between nations: even World War…
’What’s my name?’: Muhammad Ali’s son detained for 2 hours at Florida airport
https://www.rt.com/usa/378549-muhammed-alis-son-detained-airport/
“The son of world-famous boxer Muhammad Ali was detained illegally by US immigration officials for two hours at a Florida airport, and asked twice about his religion, according to his attorney.
Ms. Ali showed officers a picture of herself with her ex-husband, who died last year, and was not detained. Ali Jr., an American citizen, had no such picture. He was asked twice by Customs and Border Patrol officials if he was a Muslim and “where did you get your name from?”
“I believe there is profiling going on. Customs does not leave these things to the training and skill of the individual officer because it varies from officer to officer,” said Mancini.
Mancini said a standardized approach would include directives like “If you see a Muslim do this…” and “If you see someone with an Arabic name, do that..”
“What I am expecting to come from all of this is a wave of people who step and say ‘I was treated the same way,’” Mancini added.
He said the family had not yet decided what legal remedy to pursue, but thinks discrimination and profiling is occurring because the same questions were used in both instances: “Where did you get your name from?”
“That’s exactly the way profiles are written. They have interconnected corroborating questions. So that just screams ‘profile,’” he added.”
This persecution of Ali is shows that Islamophobic profiling has been ratcheted up. That ole zionist Jewish orchestrated Islamophobia is alive and well in israel’s tuppence regime colony.
The Jews of America started clamoring for expulsion/persecution of Muslims almost fifteen years ago.
The bacillus of real (not ‘fake’) antiSemitism has spread.

https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5vuziz/tucker_carlson_explains_to_dnc_strategist_zac/
This ‘strategist’ was found with a stash of crystal meth on his person some years ago.
Enuff said.
The Zac guy has no idea what he is talking about and doesn’t have the brains to think about it — he’s just parroting nonsense, and won’t answer the question.
Some people are male, some female, and some ambiguous, and a thing is ambiguous there is no clear division — that’s what ambiguous means. In this case one needs to have some professional — doctor, psychologist, biologist, geneticist, etc., and most importantly a judge or other legal authority, accept and certify what someone says as valid have a legal determination established. Yes, it’s a legal issue in this context, but such a question must be more than someone simply saying ‘I am xxxx’, whether xxxx is sex, race, species, legal resident, or whatever. Such legal status is most always arbitrary to some extent — are you an adult or juvenile, are you alive or dead, are you a citizen, are you guilty or innocent of a charge, etc. If I want to be Tim Smith instead of Tim Jones, I have to get a court to make the name change legal. It’s like this legal sex question is some entirely new sort of issue in law. Or, even that one’s legal status must always be the same regarding different entitlements or circumstances, or that every status must be permanent (as when changing citizenship or legal residence).
It’s a legal question.
No, sex itself as a bio-definition us not a legal issue.
It’s a naturally occuring phenomenon.
It’s how our species reproduces.
Hermaphroditism is anomalous and rare / typicallysles whose tested fail to drop, though other anomalies exists on fewer numbers.
These anomalies do not change the categorical imperative, anymore than a human being born missing a legs bound force bipedalism to be matter of legal debate .
Transgenderism is a politically- motivated cult designed to eradicate naturally occuring sex-differences as the reality, and replace them with the legal fictions of expensive lawyers .
It’s being bankrolled by the same plutocracy who brought us eugenics.
And it’s serious implications not just for the natural rights that accrue to motherhood,but also for women and girls safety:
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/02/06/biologically-male-transgendered-killer-moved-female-prison-sex-inmates/
That’s just one example.
I haven’t mentioned what’s happening in women’s refuges – who now have to take on the very abusers they flee from, for fear of lawsuits.
You are way behind the curve on this.
I won’t argue it has not been very highly politicized, but medically, biologically (not just in the human species), sexual ambiguity does exist, even if rare. Even genes vs fetal development and gene expression cloud the issue. Keep in mind that development only starts with genes but does not end there, and also not everyone has just xx or xy, and there are many possible mutations along the way. The legal question remains for interactions with government functions, such as Carlson brought up.
(Maybe I’m ahead of the curve enough to be misunderstood? :-) )
I guess I was trying to get you to understand the Orwellian implications of language abuse – particularly in relation to the consequences for women and girls.
And what the consequences are for children.
Sadly, it’s obvious you don’t, as you persist in seeing the issue purely as social accommodation of anomalous genetic events, and not the denial of reality it actually is – as partially demonstrated by Carlson.
Perhaps you’re ok with the consequences of male rapists and abusers insisting on a legal right to be ‘recognized’ as women.
A right that is now default – purely on claim.
I can assure you their victims are not – nor are women or men who do understand the importance of acknowledging power disparities in the interests of justice .
“Perhaps you’re ok with the consequences of male rapists and abusers insisting on a legal right to be ‘recognized’ as women.”
Neither women nor men are permitted to rape or abuse, and I don’t know what this is referring to.
To me the issue is rather straightforward regardless of what anyone is trying to make of it or how language is being abused — as if this was anything new.
This reminds me somewhat of the big deal about AIDS a few decades ago where it was framed as the ‘gay disease’ (obviously not), or Clinton’s ‘predator children’, and the other departures from reality so common in politics now. The first thing necessary to deal with any of this is to reground in the reality and not permit the crazies to control the language, conversation, or politics. You can’t restore sanity by arguing by the ‘rules’ and in the terms dictated by the psychos, and the idiots.
The issue is about ‘social [and legal] accommodation of anomalous genetic events’. We can not allow this pseudo-post-modern relativism and departure from facts into ‘truthyness’, identity politics, and ‘political correctness’ to obscure simple questions and obvious solutions.
“Transgenderism” — note the ‘ism’ — this is not real, biological, or psychological thing, but a political and propagandist invention, and trying to address it in those terms only helps it to grow, and that is why arguing in those terms and frames needs to be rejected. As for discrimination, this is another issue and needs to be addressed in the established frames and laws dealing with any sort of discrimination and violations of human rights. If a transgender child is refused entry into a school bathroom, how is that so different from a non-white, diseased, or a disabled child being refused. We have the principles, laws and precedents, and they should be applied.
A smorgasbord this time
This reminds me somewhat of the big deal about AIDS a few decades ago where it was framed as the ‘gay disease’ (obviously not)
Obviously was; only political intervention changed the name to AIDS from GRID (gay-related immunodeficiency disease).
And obviously still is : “Gay and bisexual men accounted for 82% (26,375) of HIV diagnoses among males and 67% of all diagnoses.”

or Clinton’s ‘predator children’
The existence of whom you seem to regard as an urban myth. Having worked for 6.5 years in the septic tank of the state juvenile reform system (“placement of last resort”), I can tell you that whoever gave you that idea was making it up as she went along. Rather than recount anecdotes about some of these fine fellows, I refer you to Stanton Samenow —

If a transgender child is refused entry into a school bathroom, how is that so different from a non-white, diseased, or a disabled child being refused.
Oh dear — the “moral equivalence” argument ? To a vegetarian, bacon offered at a grocery store is proof of the moral equivalent of mass murder.
Social engineering campaigns always gain a toehold (or, get the nose of their camel in to the tent) with a stalking horse pretext. One brainwashed impressionable kid might have its feelings hurt (gasp !). This demands vigorous state intervention !
So Big Brother’s Brain Police to the rescue — compelling 99.99% of the population to help a profoundly disturbed (psychologically, biologically or both) child pretend he’s “normal.” (Gresham’s Principle of the greatest good for the greatest number does not apply where minority feelings are concerned.)
Thanks anyhow . . . I’m still working on my gender-inclusion reprogamming. I have a ways to go yet.
I don’t have the time and energy now to deconstruct or refute the stuff you posted. I have to let it go for now just saying that you apparently have no idea what I actually said or what it was about, and responded with an army of straw men.
You scoffed at the linkage between AIDS and homosexuality. I refuted that with a link to a government publication verifying it.
You also scoffed at the idea of predator children. I worked with them 8 hours a day for 6.5 years. One who comes to mind we called (after the Waltons TV show) “John Boy” (his name was John). At age 10 he was the most prolific car thief in Philadelphia (where there were a lot of them). He was so short then, he carried a thick Phila. telephone book with him — to sit on so he could see over the dashboard to drive it to one of the chop shops he sold them to.
After 20 or so futile post-arrest counsellings, the judge sent him away to a (Welfare Dept. jargon) “placement,” 100 or so miles from his home. There, a complete idiot social worker (almost a tautology) gave him the keys to her car and asked him to fetch her something locked in it. With this, John Boy was on his way back home.
There was a long driveway going down a hill to the main road. At the bottom of which, as it happened, was a school bus unloading elementary school children. John Boy blew the horn, ploughed into them and kept going. Killed three outright, and crippled several others. Following which he became “a Guest of the State,” from ages 12 – 18.
Asked about why he didn’t stop, he pointed out that he had given them fair warning he was coming, and blamed them for not getting out of his way.
Another kid (like John Boy, from the mean streets of Philly) and his friend (who had a pistol), for something to do when bored, would shoot someone in the throat who was going through a subway turnstile and watch him blow blood bubbles as he died. Then run before the police came, change clothes, and return to the scene to enjoy the commotion as onlookers.
Another of our charges had both parents (biological) doing life in prison. The mastermind of a fairly well-known street gang (and, before the state gave him a “time out,” a national rap star), received a ritual obsequience visit from the Philly mob once he was “out.” (Re-establishing working relations).
A fourth is on death row (very hard to do in Pennsylvania) for murdering a witness scheduled to testify in the pending murder trial of one of his associates.
Then again, you could have just clicked the link to Samenow (Penna. was the first state in the nation to separate out juveniles from adults and give them to the Welfare Dept. — the place I worked was designed to put his recommendations into practice). (The Welfaristas sabotaged it with “kid care” rules before it had a chance, as you would have expected).
At any rate, Not Guilty as charged. Everyone has a right to his own opinion. But not to his own “facts.”
I read a book while a teenager in the early 60s —
https://www.amazon.com/Children-who-hate-Fritz-Redl/dp/B0007ILGJO
Children who hate Paperback – 1962
by Fritz Redl (Author), David Wineman (Author)
among many other psychology books — and also The Bad Seed. Nothing new about juvenile predators and psychopaths, and they are certainly not limited to blacks, or even to poverty stricken areas. But were not politicized. Clinton used the issue as part of the new criminal laws being pushed through, and that was for political appeal, privatization of prisons, and avoidance of allocating money to relieve the economic and social problems with public programs.
If you check
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_HIV/AIDS
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HIV#History
you find that while homosexual behavior is a high risk activity it hardly the only one (eating monkey brains is the origin).
“Caribbean
Main article: HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean
The Caribbean is the second-most affected region in the world.[14] Among adults aged 15–44, AIDS has become the leading cause of death. The region’s adult prevalence rate is 0.9%.[14] with national rates ranging up to 2.7%.[26] HIV transmission occurs largely through heterosexual intercourse,[citation needed] with two-thirds of AIDS cases in this region attributed to this route. Sex between men is also a significant route of transmission, even though it is heavily stigmatised and illegal in many areas. HIV transmission through injecting drug use remains rare, except in Bermuda and Puerto Rico.”
By labeling it the ‘Gay Disease’ it was politicized, with disastrous results during Reagan period as research was repressed, and the problem greatly exacerbated.
Now we see transgenderism being politicized — by both sides, and being torn apart into identity politics and demonization, prejudice, and yet another ‘ism’ — it should not be an ‘ism’ at all. It looks like a similar thing is happening now with pedophilia, which is a serious problem, but is not centered to one political group or another, or one particular country, geographical region, or religion — although it may have a relationship to peoples power because they can get away with it, and even perhaps, to an extents, to attitudes among some cultures. Yet these are essentially universal, human, problems, whether publicized as such or not.
The point is not that various problems don’t exist, or that they are not evenly distributed among various groups or geographical areas, but the politicization and relabeling of them is very destructive. (Remember the fictional ‘welfare queens’?)
At the same time the right wing ‘hate radio’ demonized people using these problems as fuel for the propaganda, for political purposes. AIDS fed into the bias against gay people and that was used as part of reducing efforts towards universal health care. And we hear now similar rhetoric about people being responsible for over-eating, not eating healthy foods, and so forth as a way to blame people for illnesses they contract — and not analyzing and finding solutions to associated social and economic problems (such as overcrowding, lack of preventative health care, malnutrition, .unhygienic living conditions, and inadequate health education).
We have to stop doing this stuff with the word and concept distortions and propaganda, and go to realistic approaches based on knowledge.
Measles and mumps were long considered childhood diseases because those exposed to them were usually children, who then gained immunity, but children were never demonized or isolated because of it — and they are both serious, often enough fatal diseases, for adults without immunity, so they are not really ‘childhood diseases’ except from the epidemiological circumstance we happen to have. These are not like sickle cell anemia which runs high among blacks because of some genetic quirks — and yet I have not heard it called a ‘black disease’.
I’m typed out — and I have to feed the free cats outdoors…
Today’s best humor here : me laughing at myself.
Obviously not Gresham’s Law LOL !!
Note to self : beware of memory at age 69 after multiple concussions earlier in life.
AIDS “research” has been politically-dictated since day one. No news there. As in the abrupt cancellation of long-term non-sexual spread to family members study, early on, because it was already ruled out by the official model (shades of Global Warming !). Which, incidentally, is based on sheer belief that it is a viral infection even though no AIDS virus has ever been identified by ay researcher.
You clearly want people to buy into attitudes promulgated by outfits like the University of Chicago (long exposed as a Rockefeller Foundation social engineering operation in multiple fields), as you have. A lot of tap dancing is involved in this — starting with the alleged link between poverty and crime (re. which, see http://newobserveronline.com/americas-poorest-white-town-proves-link-race-crime/ ). All of this substitutes imaginative supposition (rationalization) for direct, empirical evidence.
The point is not that various problems . . . are not evenly distributed among various groups or geographical areas . . .
It is not white kids playing “the knockout game” and sending homicide rates through the roof. The fact that behavior like this is NOT “evenly distributed among various groups” IS a point worth bearing in mind.
(Remember the fictional ‘welfare queens’?)
How many subsequent arrests for exactly this behavior (quickly learned by one segment of the illegal immigrant community) does it take to move it over into the Factual column ? Should I start listing newspaper accounts of arrests for it ?
You want to reduce human problems to abstractions. But as shown by “The War on Poverty,” “The War on Crime” and “The War on Drugs,” this is calculated fraud.
The problem is not that we are not nice enough, compassionate enough or altruistic enough. It is that these values have been co-opted and used in an ongoing attempt to render the Christian civilization that cherishes them incapable of asserting itself in defense of their legitimate implementation.
Social problems do not arise from abstractions. They have have faces, names and addresses.

I’d like to place this comment here so it’s lost and forgotten as time moves on:
An interesting educational new to me way to learn what’s what regarding the written word at a site you might think looks questionable. Make a comment. If said comment is rejected one second after it’s published, think hmmm so fast, could a word processor be looking for words not suitable for that site? – say the word ‘angloZionist’ for example (💡reject!reject!reject!)….So could that site be not what it claims to be?….Then look further and learn that a vip mind shaper in charge of the site’s programme had his vip education in Poland….hmmm a Russian learning at Zbig’s Neo Home Space….Oops he’s here too….Interesting….I wonder….But I could be wrong of course.
I’m thinkin’ love. How do you love an old cyber “flasher” that hates the horrors of war and figures the “Make Love, not war!” hippies were right?
How do you mobilize a passionate, articulate, talented individual that has flashed away in a very forgiving vineyard for well over a year, promoting matriarchy, “womam”, and “She-sus” and free, communal love, without one openly declared Vineyard female once supporting his proposition that the root cause of war comes from attempts to form stable families of loyal man and wife spouses, in all those many months of long comments proclaiming “Make love, all together now!” ???
“Change your partners, do si do!”
In your dreams.
Utopia’s like that, and communism have a basic dilemma: The group, the community, either local, or worldwide are made up of a very complex group consciousness composed of dozens to billions of individual beings, each with their unique experience, perceptions, and capacity for discovery of truth. None is perfect. All have some limitation, some flaw, some human frailty. Some realize a great deal of national or global or societal influence for good or ill, most live their lives out with little or nothing to be remembered for, other than small experiences shared with a few others in their lives.
I agree that sublimation of the small self, the ego, is absolutely vital to the pursuit of truth and the realization of freedom and a relative “heaven on earth” compared to the present condition of humanity. I agree that sublimation of the ego, in appreciation and wonder at the beauty and uniqueness of another human soul, in the process of “falling in love” is an important component of seeking truth, freedom and a love of “pure being” transcendent of one’s limited self. This is a magnificent experience of the expansion of consciousness from the dead end of ego, to a kind of glimpse, perhaps fleeting, but real, into the beauty of the Absolute.
Among two individuals who are mutually attracted on many levels, sexual expression and it’s shared energy and intimacy is very often (but not always!) part of the transcendent experience of love. I don’t think anyone argues against that??
Wrong!
No, wrong again! If you can imagine it, it exists, and I admit, I’m wrong, because Leo Tolstoy argues that sex is a MAJOR obstacle to achieving purity of God-consciousness and truth:
http://knowledgenuts.com/2014/02/22/leo-tolstoy-was-a-sex-addict-in-his-early-years/
An interesting contrast in “ideals” with General Leary of the Love Army, in his later works, especially!
I have more to say about the challenge of getting “from here” (present reality of the human condition) “to there” (our various and conflicting versions of a “better” human condition). But will pause for breakfast and say it later.
Meanwhile and I want to thank Dennis Leary and Leo Tolstoy for taking such interesting opposite positions. It’s so richly productive of them (Irony, the essence of poetry, and the search for truth!) to provide those vastly differing poles of thought with which to go deeper into the matter of individual. societal, and global consciousness, “where the rubber meets the road” in this current struggle for the freedom of the human species.
@Bro 93 —
“Sex” can be the most beautiful thing in the world.
It can also be the ugliest thing in the world.
It isn’t “sex” that’s the real issue.
True TTC. No argument there.
I don’t see it as much of a “key” to anything like world peace.
Reproduction of most species, including ours, yes.
Good morning. Just want to keep in touch and continue conversation on a matter of common interest. In that regard, thanks, Bro 93 and Prometeus, for your willingness to converse on said subject as shown in your comments above.
I prefer to wait for the opening of the new cafe before I respond in kind. It gives me a chance to mull over what you have said or left unsaid while I go about my necessary routine matters. This vineyard is sort of an extended, extended family for me. So while I handle mundane responsibilities I get the feeling that you are doing the same.
Of course we have various interests. As a matter of economy I briefly peruse conversations that are peripheral to my main concerns and directly respond to more mutual thoughts and feelings. Kind of like carrying on with topics at our table while overhearing others at an adjoining table.
Wouldn’t it be something if we actually were conversing with everyone on the this planet right now. And why stop there in such a scenario? Why not include lovers from all across space and time and beyond?
Yesterday in the physical community where I live I listened in to women talking among themselves and children playing and talking among themselves. I was again reminded that language is primarily about bonding and reassurance. In short, love. Happily this vineyard is not exception.
The Tillerson clean-up of the State Department’s seventh floor looks to be quite significant.
(Brief description of inner workings at DoS):
[D]
Desk officers are seen as the backbone of our operations, they field complaints, coordinate between our U.S. embassies and Washington HQ of the Department (and also with respective foreign embassies in Washington), write core “action” memos on policy, serve as note-takers in meetings between foreign dignitaries and 7th floor decision-makers.
The other key node in the chain is the assistant secretary, who manages “regional” or “functional” issues for State. Regional bureaus (see map in separate slide) have direct line authority over staffing, funding operations, and advising on foreign assistance for their region, and are the one’s that “operate and staff” our missions overseas. Other bureaus manage issues such as counterterrorism, economics/energy, oceans and the environment, legal affairs, political-military affairs, public affairs and international organizations.
A new office, the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (CRS) was set up in 2004 to develop tools to coordinate interagency cooperation in conflict areas. The coordinator in 2009, Ambassador John Herbst, functions much like an Assistant Secretary, but is formally in the office of the Secretary (with a separate link to the USAID Administrator).
Note: the Special Activities Division of the CIA is run from the DoS.
