Tic Tac.
Tic Tac.
Time is ticking.
The time is NOW.
It has already begun.
Spring is here.
The new frequency is here.
More blue in the Sun.
Less red in the Sun.
Frequency rises.
Energy increases.
All are affected.
The small.
And the great.
First will be Chaos.
Some will freak out.
Many will get ill.
Some will welcome the New.
Some will hate it.
Many will hesitate.
Will need time to decide.
Summer 2017 is High Time.
Summer is wedding time.
Then the New is there.
Now its the last chance to prepare.
Be ready before June.
Take care.
Prepare.
I do believe spring is here. I interpret the colour blue, as faith in the Sun, an important symbol for the Lord. Are you talking about the blue star or about a new revelation?
I have more to say, but perhaps this is not the time.
An african approached me a couple of months ago and said “blessing is coming”. Something is up.
@ Anon
The verse to open the cafe was interesting, and your question made me think about it . . .
I thought about the ideas of revelation, blessing ,and a blue star, and the way different people to interpret the same thing, like the ‘blue as faith in the sun’, but the sun is a star, a blue star even, and the sky is blue, and the tiny pale blue star flowers of Myostosis, (Forget me not). All things connect in wondrous different ways and mean different things to different people.
One thing that is clear and it may not be otherwise is the great intensification of everything opposing grace and goodness in the world: the power of evil. There is surely a counter force to meet this gathering momentum too.
A blessing, a star in the east, begin the journey, a moveable feast cafe awaits the night stops of the weary traveler . . .
The colour blue is the colour of faith. Green is the colour of life and white the colour of reason, as I understand it. I see these colours at night were I sit.
The white Moon, shining in the dark, stands for reason and the Sun for love.
Blessing is coming. A new revelation, but not from the east this time.
There is decay everywhere and the Lord starts from the bottom when He works. Trust Him, He will intervene. I say this to Christians, Muslims and Jews. After the birth pangs, we will unite as rivers unite and enter the ocean, mankind. That is a clue to where I think it will happen.
Colours! Nothing conjures so much variance of perception or opinion as colour!.
this is the garden: colours come and go,
frail azures fluttering from night’s outer wing
strong silent greens silently lingering,
absolute lights like baths of golden snow.
(ee cummings)
Good for the history of poetics anyway, that the light of the moon has not been seen in the light of reason… ; )
My comment re the “star in the east” and the journey, was meant as a metaphor, sorry not to be clearer, though there is an eastern background to my thoughts.
Words are all we have to describe infinity, or eternity.
I am so glad you answered me. I talked about colours and hinted at other things, because I don’t know how much I can put on the net. I am not a prophet and I have no special revelation, but I think something big is about to happen. In my lifetime? Perhaps. This cafe is old and you may be one of few who reads this comment.
As for the Moon being a symbol of reason when we get some understanding, some faith, and when we take a blind step in darkness, we get light on the Word only when we start obeying.

Consciousness
Consciousness is sleeping well
Following the road to hell
The road is wide and paved with gold
It has been thousand times yet told
But who cares, when it’s so beautiful
The people like it, the road is full
There’s “liberty” and lots of fruits
Lots of colors, genders, what them suits
Diversity in pleasures, like a dream
Diversity in cakes and any cream
Just following the road right to the hell
Cause people’s consciousness is sleeping well
As they say in the East:
Ignorance has no beginning but an end.
Consciousness has a beginning but no end.
Saudi defence minister prises Trump, turning point in US/Saudi relation, he said. In a meantime bombs are explouding in Damaskus. Are they planning to undo what Russia achieved in Syria or war with Iran?
Assange claims that Hillary Clinton is plotting an impeachment. Strange things afoot.
The weird spook who Scott was analyzing, Steve Pieczenik, has been actively tying Assange to the “pro-Trump” faction of the intelligence community since last November.
I love analyzing and overanalyzing, but now I’m tempted to see all of this stuff as disinfo and kabuki theater. Only God knows what will happen this year.
Dogs or Birds,…… or Bird-dogs?
Jonathan is a nice name for a bird,
But of a dog named Max I’ve heard
Who did better on Saturday Night Live
Than his snowflake owner…., no jive!
Libtards say the USA went to the dogs
In the last election when Hillary hogs
Got slaughtered, her own Razorbacks
Defied Podesta’s Pedo-Demo hacks
The venture/vulture capitalists balk
When they hear this Max Canine talk!
I’m confused, like you, I cannot tell
What the hell’s going on with SNL?!
Obviously the crowd is with the dog!
Are hipsters emerging from their fog?
It looks like Baldwin is bad for ratings.
Fail…No juice left from Donald hatings.

CHAOS —
On Tuesday night in Western Ukraine, a wave of seizures of regional state administrations broke out. Supporters of the Donbass blockade – neo-Nazi militants numbering several dozen unarmed but camouflaged men – broke into regional administration buildings. The local police refused to admit that this “penetration” was in fact an occupation of government buildings. Instead, the police claim that the regional administration belongs to local communities, and therefore locals have the right to hold rallies there. Yet this legal sophistry is designed to hide the central authorities’ confusion and fear in the face of the disobedient Western Ukrainian regions.
On Monday, special police units subordinated to interior minister Avakov and the SBU dispersed the holdout near Krivoy Torets blocking railway connections with the Donbass republics. Neo-Nazi militants were arrested, but the estimates of their number vary widely: some sources speak of 10 arrested, others of 80. The detainees were soon released so as to not escalate an already explosive situation.

“Syria claims Israeli jet shot down after strike near Palmyra, IDF says all aircraft undamaged”

Let’s make sense out of it, when the info-fog disperses…
Tass response here-extract:
“Moscow has no doubts that the US airstrikes, delivered at the Syrian village of al-Jina on Thursday, had targeted terrorists, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday.
“Of course, there should be a probe into what happened in al-Jina in order to figure out what target was hit and who are the victims that the so-called witnesses are talking about. However, we don’t have any doubts that the US airstrikes targeted terrorists,” Zakharova stressed.
“Unlike some of our adversaries, we are not going to make any allegations saying it was a deliberate murder of civilians and a destruction of civil infrastructure facilities,” the Russian diplomat added.
“At the same time, if the death of civilians in al-Jina is confirmed, then, in our opinion, it should lead us all to consider a closer coordination between those taking part in the fight against terrorists in Syria,” Zakahrova said. “It could improve the accuracy of targeting and help avoid steps that are not necessary from the military point of view, like the coalition airstrikes at the dams along the Euphrates River and oil facilities.”

This is old news, from 2015. And the Florida clinic should have known that the treatment in Japan that halted (did not cure) the macular degeneration was for the “wet” type, not the “dry” type of the Florida incident.
Sadly, it is simply low taurine/B-vitamin levels which are directly related to eye diseases, including macular degeneration. And diabetes and heart disease (and more), but what might that matter.
Of course, there is little “scientific proof” because Big Pharma and Big Medicine can’t make money if a majority of people don’t suffer from chronic, sub-clinical malnutrition, which amplifies the effect of the chemical load we all carry. And taurine can’t be patented and is very cheap to produce.
So only what could be called “preliminary” research into taurine ever gets done, usually on animals or small-sample human studies. The major studies will never be financed in Big Pharma’s labs, never get past the university boards which decide “public” research funding, which is SHOCK!!!. largely funded by Big Corporations or foundations funded by… the rent-seeking 0.1%.
Just like there was no “scientific proof” linking smoking tobacco to cancer and a whole host of other health issues.

“On Thursday, US newspaper The Hill wrote that Flynn received over $56,000 in payments from two the RT broadcaster and Russian companies Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Kaspersky Lab. In particular, Flynn allegedly received over $45,000 for participation in a gala in December 2015 hosted by RT. US media also published leaked emails and document with RT employees’ names and private data, violating their privacy.”

The Syrian Army said Israeli warplanes targeted Syrian army positions and hit a “military target” near Palmyra in a Friday morning raid, in what it described as an act of aggression that aided Islamic State. In retaliation the jets were targeted by Syrian anti-aircraft missiles with one of the Israeli fight planes shot down.
According to a statement by the Syrian Army, a total of four Israeli jets breached Syrian airspace on Friday morning, Reuters reports. Syria’s air defenses shot down one of the Israeli jets over “occupied ground” and damaged another.

I want to investigate the interaction between three phenomenon: 1. the appearance of this vineyard with its mission of stopping the empire’s war on Russia; 2. the foundation of this vineyard on Orthodox Christianity and 3. the appearance of our species founded upon communal love, including communal sex.
All three events are living, moving and growing life-manifestations. In other words they are not fixed and static in their essential natures; and to the extent that they become so they are dying or already dead. 1. The mission of stopping the empire’s war on Russia develops into stopping war as such; 2. Orthodox Christianity develops by acknowledging its changes from the Old Testament prophets to Jesus’ appearance (epiphany) to the Apostles recording of his legacy with their gospels and epistles to the Council of Nicea in 325 with its codification of scripture and doctrine by the Fathers presided over by the Roman Emperor to the contemporary responsibility to develop a mission for the world today and 3. the integration of ancient and modern knowledge of the truth about our human species.
This vineyard with its participants is part of what is appearing today. Events “appear” as givens or gifts which are variously received or rejected according to the necessity of freedom in a love reality. The world hangs in the balance of choices made by each individual who recapitulates the universe. The same can be said of a group of individuals like this vineyard and its ancestral orthodoxy.
So much for my general view of the world according to a philosophy of love using a philosophy of phenomenology. The devil is in the details especially when it comes to theology. Fortunately the patriarchal Council of Nicea despite itself developed Revelation with its doctrines of the Trinity and Incarnation.
Due to the culture of the time the Trinity had to be a male community with a single male individual God both supernaturally uncontaminated by a sinful world and humanly involved with the world which contradiction was solved by the Incarnation. The stroke of genius was that personhood and individuality was saved by the teaching of three persons in one God which did much to nurture love in the world.
However the degraded world today threatens the very notion of persons with its elevation of corporations above humanity and artificial intelligence and trans-humanism as the new religion of technocracy. This insanity results from ignorance about our history from herstory and manifests in the resistance to false human gods by “deplorable” humans who do not wish to be made into machines.
Our challenge today is to develop by going “back to the future.” Orthodox Christianity needs to step up to the plate and save the world by deconstructing patriarchy and restoring its core doctrines on natural facts. The Unity and Trinity of Persons is in fact founded on the trinity of mother, child and father within the unity of the lover. The Incarnation is in fact founded on the integrated sovereignty of each individual person within a love community.
This veiled fact is reflected in Russia’s insistence on national sovereignty as a step in restoring “nature-like” technology. Extrapolating that idea eventually brings us to a community of persons who are bonded in love but retain their individuality. Christianity’s central doctrines of Revelation, Trinity and Incarnational Unity are Salvation that resists the nihilism of Empire but lies fallow unless developed for the exigencies of the time.
Time (and Space) are relative but Love is also Absolute as well as relative. Jesus knew that which was his main teaching. He passed it on to the Apostles who gave it to the Fathers who gave it to us. However a sinful world has obscured the message. The good news (gospel) is that it can be recovered.
Jesus She’sus said “What I do you too shall do and even greater.” What did he do? He developed the gift that was given to him by giving it to the apostles who passed it on to us. We can either bury it or develop and re-give it as Jesus predicted in his parable of the talents.
The political world makes much of growth and development; so much so that it is becoming a cancer that may carry our species off the universal stage forever. It makes a part into the whole which is suicidal madness. We are here to enjoy the gift we have been given, not throw it back in the face of the giver and futilely try to re-invent the wheel so we can feel like God.
As Commander in Chief of Patriarchy, God Himself if he believes his own doctrines will accept the Mother, Child and Father Trinity and the Incarnation of the Lover in Humanity as the Revelation of Salvation. As for the relation between divine and human patriarchy I’ll let you come to your own conclusion.
Whether what I say is truth or lie, orthodoxy or heterodoxy, harmony or heresy is up to each one of us as sovereign persons in community to decide. In that choice lies Revelation and Salvation individually and socially.
In any event I am thankful for marvelous gifts such as this vineyard as they appear. As a great philosopher said: “what happens happens.”
I stepped outside to take a break. The rosy dawn in upon the eastern hills, the three quarter moon journeys overhead and a rooster is crowing, perhaps like the one Jesus predicted would crow three times. Peter wept over his predicted threefold denial of reality and later restored his dignity with an honorable death. I’ll take the hint and attempt the same.
Love to us all, every one.
“and 3. the appearance of our species founded upon communal love, including communal sex.”
Dennis, what is all this obsession of yours?
you are at the zenith of life, yet so into this communal thing…. are you watching bonobos?
not that nowadays mores are great: pedo, cannibalism, trans-disoriented, blinding oneself for attention, crime, no family unit, complete depravity pushed as righteous into the laws…
“Sexual dysfunction is characterized by a disturbance in sexual desire and the psycho physiological changes that characterize the sexual response cycle, which can cause marked distress and interpersonal difficulty. Sexual dysfunction is not limited to changes in those organs associated with sexual response. Changes in sexuality may be caused by(old age – primo) a tumor; for example, men with functioning pituitary adenomas have a high incidence of sexual dysfunction.”
nobody knows what is Beyond: 77 virgins, adam and eve and the serpent in the flowery garden, st peter shaking you down at the door, dante floundering in the multi leveled cave inferno, nothingness and vacuum, Ra and his subordinates, She as in Astarte or the mysterious moon-Sin…. whatever, enjoy your sun rises and reddish glorious sun sets, the dryness and purity of the desert air and thank Goodness for another day. I do!
“nobody knows what is Beyond”
yes, we only have the projections of our psyche.
But I’m dead shure, it depends on our spiritual daily life here, what will
embrace us beyond. And to become a harbor for those beyond,
still dear to us, might be part of it.

Cafe fable
There’s a huge queue for the cafe
There’s a cow giving milk and tea
A monkey is sitting on the bar
Giving a speech for every star
The cats are telling their fables
The rats are dancing on tables
The dogs are biting the letter
Till nobody can it decipher.
A flea jumps higher then Louis
Than shows us his big penis
Something rose comes in the room
An elephant, handling a spoon :
“what the hell, where’s that cake,
or, everything is just a fake ?”
Turning around his big nose,
Felt something very close :
“it’s my cheese ! screamed the rat,
and I’m the King,
don’t you know that ? ”
The monkey jumped through window
The flea has jumped to seek a pillow
The elephant rushed out wit noise
The cats were left with only voice.
It’s a pity
Not to ditty
Nor compose dittos

A short analysis of what would happen if North Korea’s regime suddenly came to an end:
http://viableopposition.blogspot.ca/2017/03/the-impact-of-collapse-of-north-korea.html
The analysis is falling short at the start, a typical arrogant approach, where North Korea is falling apart by itself without any intervention (the assassination story is hard to believe). Further, it says that in case of war with South-Korea, the PLA will probably help the North. China, Russia and USA will go against North Korea (in a coalition ? – hardly believable). I cannot imagine (now) that Russia and China will accept an american occupation force in North-Korea or in a unified Korea (which would be of course pro-american)
North Korea! What’s the point with NK? Why this poor flea of an area on the globe is so important that has to be broken in smithereens? What has the herd to do with NK? Who cares? What is the gesheft?
NK: the only horrendous thing to me is the memory from a video of the emaciated homeless child, probably born in a prison camp, picking a grain of rice from the ground and being shooed away by a fat woman(probably a party member). I wanted to break the glass of the tv, snatch that child and hug her and feed her goodies and make her smile and have a light in her departed mind.
otherwise, who cares?
@ NKwho
If you felt so strongly about the video (perhaps the usual propaganda stuff) I wonder what you did to right that wrong. Like sending a donation to feed the homeless child or make a protest against the savagery of a nation who invaded Korea after the Japanese had surrendered, caused a horrific war and partitioned the country to put its puppet as ruler under its protection. Almost identical to a tee what it did to Vietnam. That nation is the USA, perhaps your country.

Ok, so, today we had this official first meeting between the one I like to call: Mrs. ‘Potato Woman’ [otherwise known as Merkel] and President Trump.
In their press conference, and even though this was supposed to be mostly about US/German relations [mostly about trade, mind you] – Trump got nothing but US domestic questions about his ‘wiretapping’ tweets, Obamacare, his anti-immigration EO rejected by a couple of Judges… stuff like that.
And he got that kind of treatment from both sides of the isle: the American presstitutes, and the guest German presstitues [who are arguably, even worse than the US Fake-News or Very-Fake-News variety of Fake-News-Media :/ ]
Trump held his own, got a few zingers delivered here and there, but this one is the one that stole the show [IMO]…
.
Donald Trump: ‘Perhaps’ Both Angela Merkel and I Were Wiretapped by Obama Administration
“President Donald Trump reacted to questions about his claims that the Obama administration had “wiretapped” Trump Tower.
After a German reporter asked if Trump regretted his tweets, he replied, “Very seldom.”
“As far as wiretapping, I guess, by this past administration, at least we have something in common, perhaps,” Trump said [while pointing at Merkel, as the picture in the article shows] as some of the media and the president’s staff laughed. Merkel looked at the president and then shuffled her note cards while looking at her podium [..]”

WATCH: Awkward moment Donald Trump BLANKS Angela Merkel handshake request at White House
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/780608/Donald-Trump-Angela-Merkel-handshake-White-House
-TL2Q
Regarding “Germany Drops NSA Merkel Cellphone Spying Probe, Lacking Evidence:
Henry Stimson served as Secretary of State under President Herbert Hoover from 1929 to 1933. In 1929 he shut down the State Department’s cryptanalytic office saying, “Gentlemen don’t read each other’s mail”. Later reversed.
The NSA intercepts and vacuums up everything but that apparently that isn’t hacking or even spying.
Do these people think that everyone is credulous and stupid?
Maybe he just did not want to shakee hands just because some journo asked him too…he is not their puppet…..is the impression I had….hands were shaken as a welcome and farewell……as per protocol……
Trump has stated he is a “germaphobe “. And Merkel is from “germ-any”, hence the resistance.
From Washington Post, at time of the (concocted nonsense spy dossier that had Russian hookers pleasuring Trump by peeing in The Moscow hotel bed that the Obamas slept in
President-elect Donald Trump, during a news conference in New York City on Wednesday, vehemently denied the salacious and unverified allegations put forth in a 35-page dossier published by BuzzFeed News. Behind a podium in the lobby of Trump Tower, the president-elect professed an awareness that the hotel rooms he visits overseas may be bugged with tiny cameras. And responding to a personal section of the unsubstantiated report, Trump added, “I’m also very much of a germaphobe, by the way, believe me.” (The audience, according to the transcript of the news conference, laughed.)
Trump is keen to avoid microbes, particularly those transmitted via touch. He is not alone in the world of celebrities and politicians, some of whom have been labeled germaphobes of varying degrees. Toward the end of his life, billionaire Howard Hughes holed himself in dark hotel rooms to dodge perceived germ threats. Television host Howie Mandel, who has spoken about struggling with germ fears, handles his anxiety with a far less extreme method: Mandel rarely shakes hands, preferring the fist bump.
But legion are the palms a president must grip. In June, Barack Obama half-joked that George W. Bush’s most sage advice was to always use hand sanitizer. The New Yorker once estimated that a president pumps about 65,000 hands over the course of a year. Trump, for his part, has called shaking hands a “barbaric” practice, fearing the flu and “all sorts of things.”
After what happened to the sibling of north Korea’s leader in a Malaysian airport, Trump has even more reasons to avoid shaking people’s hands.
Its been my conclusion for a long time that there can never be a just peace in the Middle East that envisions a “State of Israel” as it exists today in it. A minimum would see that state adopt a Belgium like structure giving total equality to both Palestinian and Jewish regions in a federal state.The Israel of today is an apartheid state whose cruelty easily surpasses the apartheid South Africa of memory.Its more than likely that freedom for Palestinians can not come about with the “World Community” having anything to do with it. And almost certainly it will have to come from a savage world.Very possibly nuclear.But there just isn’t any way around it.The Israelis and their “protectors” leave no other choice available.Like all tyrannies they won’t stop there crimes on their own. And the “World Community” of pro-Israeli stooges won’t “even” try to get them to.Even the UN is worthless in this matter (as in much else). A human rights report put out by a part of the UN has been removed simply because they “dared” to actually tell the truth of what Israel “actually” does to Palestinians.As if most people that study that region didn’t already know what the Israelis do. If the “World Community” stooges can’t even bring themselves to acknowledge known truths. They show themselves unable to influence the situation going forward in a positive manner.It will have to be the Palestinians and hopefully some few others that will have to carry the load. And form a “new PLO”.One that will strike at the Israelis in the same manner as the previous PLO. Before Arafat foolishly bought into the idea that there could be peace through negotiations with Zionists.You can’t negotiate with people that you can’t trust to honor an agreement.Something sadly Russia hasn’t seemed to understand yet as well.We are in for the “long-haul”,but Palestinians need to start reading up on the Algerian revolution. And throw in reading Mao’s books on guerrilla war.

@ Uncle Bob
I don’t know of any people deserving international support and a scrap of justice than the Palestinians who have lived in their land continuously for thousands of years and are denied basic rights in order to accommodate the Jewish state. Everywhere else in the world the (with the exception of US colonies and client states) the old colonial powers gave way to new independent nations in the aftermath of the WWII and the new international order prescribed by the US as one of the foundational principles of the UN reflecting the consistent US foreign policies (enshrined in the Monroe Doctrine) of “liberating” lands under the rule or influence by another power, in order to be annexed, plundered or ruled by themselves.
But what has happened to the Palestinians is decolonization in reverse: instead of being given recognition and entitlement to autonomy as the people of the land, they were told to share their home with an alien race and then were evicted by the newcomers. A monstrous injustice has happened – sanctioned by the UN against its own rules! This state of affairs exists only because the US dictates it and that alone is enough for any decent human being on this Earth to loath the rulers and the enablers (sadly most people) of such country. Add to that all the misery and terror unleashed by that country on many defenceless states around the globe through invasions, bombings and blockades, and you have the personification of institutional evil. I hope to see one day an act of just deserts for such cruelty and wickedness. And no mercy.
Pay attention Canada, New Zealand, Europe and others, this is how a proper vassal to the Hegemon should comport themselves:
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop called on the United States to “play an even greater role as the indispensable strategic power in the Indo-Pacific.” “It” (the US) “is the pre-eminent global strategic power in Asia and the world by some margin,“ she said. The region was in what she called a “strategic holding pattern and waiting to see whether the US and its security allies and partners can continue to play the robust and constructive role they have for many decades in preserving the peace.”

It’s hard to take blows of that magnitude against common decency. The grovelling cur is as shameless as a bitch in heat and an insult to the Australian people, namely the ones who elect people like her as their representative.
Democracy, it appears, is freedom to elect scum by idiots.
Australia lost sovereignty in the 1975. The CIA orchestrated a “constitutional crisis” and had the Labor party thrown from office.
Prior to that Australia had been governed by snivelling, spineless lackeys eager to lick the boots of the British. Post 75 the quislings grovelled at the boots of the US.
Whitlam, leader of the 1972-1975 government had wanted to investigate Pine Gap, the US installation in Central Australia. Evidently it is actually US territory and the Australian PM wanted to know why, and why he could visit a part of Australia. He was gone within 6 weeks of rousing curiosity about Pine Gap.
These days there is an even more secret installation in north-west Western Australia. Named “wormwood”. Funny, despite being a super secret recognisance post, its radar was down for maintenance the once and only/ very day Malaysian MH370 flew past. What are the odds? hmm?
Julie has definitely been bought off by the yanks. They all have. Blackmail or cash, or both.
On a lighter note, here is the fantastic result when a desert receives rainfall – it blooms into a beautiful garden:

Nah. Australia has been lying on its back with its knees hooked round its ears hoping some imperial power will favour it with even a semi-limp shafting for a century now. UK or US does not have to “pay” for Australia to prostitute itself, in fact, Australia is so desperate to be “liked/shown some love” – IT will gladly PAY the Demons for the privileged of being debased. Exhibit a/ PM Malcolm Turnbull’s determined stance in covering up the humiliating first phone call fromTrump. Despicable John McCain was among those first to contact Turnbull to condole and chastise Trump.
Interesting short article on the man’s experiences.
‘Kremlin Special Agent’ Reveals Unknown Pages of the Crimean Spring
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201703181051719935-crimean-spring-developments/
“March 18 marks the third anniversary of Crimea’s reunification with Russia following the referendum held two days earlier. Crimean native Armen Martoyan, who actively participated in the events of 2014, told Sputnik how he was blocking the airport, where the Ukrainian special forces had gone and how the Crimeans met Poroshenko.
Meeting Poroshenko and Slapping Lyashko
All regular flights from Kiev were canceled during the Crimean Spring. Only charter flights were let in.
“I saw a very small dot on the traffic controller’s monitor – a charter aircraft entered Crimean airspace. It was Poroshenko on board. I was ordered to let it land,” he told Sputnik,
However Poroshenko didn’t stay there long as he was forced to flee from Crimeans who bombarded him with eggs, he added.
Another brief guest on Crimean soil was Oleh Lyashko, the leader of the Ukrainian Radical Party.
“After his landing, I came up to him and asked him to remain calm, wait in the VIP-hall until he is provided with a car to the city. However he answered with propagandistic speeches and threats. I lost patience and slapped him in the face. He fell on the sofa. When he came to his senses, he asked in Russian when could he leave back to Kiev,” Martoyan said.”
Closer military ties between Russia and Thailand in the works?
Coincidence? Thais Scrap Ukraine Tanks Deal, Russian General Arrives in Bangkok
https://sputniknews.com/military/201703181051725893-is-thailand-mulling-t90-tanks/
“Russian-Thai security and defense cooperation has been on the rise in recent years. Last spring, the two countries signed a military cooperation agreement. Russia has also committed to supply two Sukhoi Superjet 100 regional jet airliners for use by the Thai Air Force. Thai Defense Minister Prawit Wongsuwon made two visits to Russia over the last year. This summer, for the first time ever, a Thai unit will participate in the 2017 International Army Games. Talks have also been about sending Thai officers to study in Russian military institutions.
But what seems to have piqued the interest of observers about the visit was what wasn’t said. In his analysis on the subject, military observer Sergei Ishchenko pointed out that it was curious for the Russian commander, undoubtedly busy with the war in Syria, NATO’s buildup on Russia’s borders, and other important issues, to make the long trip to Southeast Asia just for a goodwill visit.”
Bad news for zionazis and their western capitalist cohorts.
Screw the Sanctions!: 3 in 4 Russians Oppose Begging West to Lift Restrictions
https://sputniknews.com/russia/201703181051727422-russians-sanctions-polling/
“A whopping 76% of Russians are opposed to any effort by the government to lift Western sanctions against Russia, a recent poll by the Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM), the country’s oldest polling institution, has found.
VTsIOM’s polling also found that over half of Russians — 59%, are prepared to endure economic difficulties if it is ensured that Russia’s Ukraine policy does not change.”
Here’s a light-hearted article from the Russia-Insider because… we all need to laugh now and then, don’t we folks? And, and.. they say laughter is good for your health, right? Might as well get them laughs where-ever we can find them, plus… oh, well, you never know…

Rense.com | Germany Still Occupied By US After 58 Years
By Christopher Bollyn (2004)
The Allied occupation of Germany began 58 years ago this month and in the eyes of many Germans has not yet ended. Foreign armies are still based on German soil and Europe’s largest and most prosperous “democracy” still lacks a constitution and a peace treaty putting a formal end to the Second World War.

‘Blah Blah Channel’: Spartak fans taunt BBC over documentary with banner
https://www.rt.com/sport/381251-russian-fans-bbc-documentary/
“During the first half of the match at Lokomotiv Stadium, Spartak fans unfurled a banner featuring a mock picture containing two masked fans, with one holding a scarf bearing stripes in Spartak colors, and the other, displayed on a TV screen with the BBC logo, brandishing a machete.
The bottom of the banner reads: “Blah Blah Channel” – a reference to the BBC documentary “Russia’s Hooligan Army” that aired last month.”
Check out the photo of it. Now that is a banner.
Ha-ha-ha! I have not seen the British Bloviator documentary -why waste my valuable time when the villification meme is guaranteed and there is so much documented propaganda already?
This banner is a fine taunt of the wretched BBC and richly deserved. More please.
(If this escapes censorship and somehow surfaces in the western MSM they will doubtless say this could only have come from the highest level of the Kremlin -Putin)
I’ve just watched the video of the latest VVP – Netan-you-know-who meeting. I have to say, that VVP body language is pretty uncomfortable (or he had mexican beans for lunch) and defensive. And that is not the first time I noticed it, while these two guys meet. It also seems, that Netan-etc is aware of it (you can see his eyes noticing VVP moving hands and legs/feet). He is clearly the psychopath here.
Anyway, it’s a precious snack of the “real” behind the “fake”. Because no one, even the almost pure psychopath, has his body language 100% under control. And these are the moments, when the truth is glimpsing from behind all of this official matrix veil…
Enjoy & speculate! ;)

I’ve had that happen, as well. It simply means there were no other comments ahead of yours awaiting approval and the mod was checking to see if there were any new comments at the time you posted.
I could not disagree with you more regarding President Putin. I dont find him unreadable at all – because he comes from the same set of values every time, I can see his reactions driven by his principles. I have seen him clearly angry, passionate, bored and amused.
In this meeting it’s the latter. He is clearly very relaxed; he smiles, looks very amused, nods in agreement. He is even sitting with his ankles crossed in stread of the usual spread feet stance he takes. He has two characteristics I recognised from myself. Distraction – often with the hands- used by basically intrinsically shy people, which he is, and fidgeting, used by very intelligent people a bit bored, and with other thoughts flitting through their minds while they have to sit and listen.
But uncomfortable – never.
The only time I have seen him look other than as I described was in his first meeting with Erdogan after the issues and the rift between them. He looked, frankly, furious. He was hating having to do what he was doing I think, but knew the country needed it.
We are obviously reading the same code, but applying different interpretation. Intuition is not faultless, it has always a potential to grow and develop. And knowledge & understanding can help.
This one worked for me (if often just verbalized my intuition, based on experience):
Allan Pease: Body Language
http://www2.hcmuaf.edu.vn/data/ndthanh/Body%20Language.pdf
Thanks for the link, Rublev, I’ll check it out. (And thanks for the interpretations, Isabella and Rublev!)
Along these lines, I noticed a “tell” (in poker speak, isn’t it??) for German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel. He methodically plays with his wedding band, or just touches his fingers on his left hand. Saw this during press conferences in Poland and Ukraine, and when meeting with “representatives of civil society” with the German ambassador to Russia in Moscow.(video clips on Twitter)
What does this mean? My guess is the hand motions indicate his mental motions. So he is not relaxed, telling it as he sees it, in those moments but instead trying to carefully choose his words to deliver a message. In contrast, he was totally upfront (relaxed), it seemed, in his press conference with Lavrov, and in his statement about the results of the election in the Netherlands.
I wonder about the Bush, Obama and to some extent. alas, Putin, cross legged, shoe-in-face position when sigtting.
What the shoe is hiding is of course the genitals.
A variation on baboon sexual display or just plain ‘Khamstvo’ (vulgar, caddishness)?
“I wonder about the Bush, Obama and to some extent. alas, Putin, cross legged, shoe-in-face position when sigtting.”
That’s usually defense, and even enmity. There could be of course some other biological reasons (in winter people use standard cross leg position and in summer they use more the so called “figure 4” position)
Funny excercise is observing one’s own body language during conversations with people. Especially during the contact with superiors at job… ;)
IMO, the main point is, that even when the others do not consciously decode someone’s non-verbal signals, their subconsciousness understands them pretty well.
S113, playing with fingers (or ring) give me impression of insecurity (and/or impatience). Citation from the a.m. book:
“While a smoker will cover up his anxiety by smoking, non-smokers perform other rituals such as grooming, nail biting, finger and foot tapping, cufflink adjusting, head
scratching, taking a ring off and putting it back on, playing with a tie and demonstrating
numerous other gestures that tell us the person needs reassurance.”
I haven’t seen Gabriel in that video. The press conference with Lavrov was done behind a table covering their hands. How convenient… ;)
The best study material is, when both speakers sit at an open environment with the whole body visible to the camera (as in my posted video). They cannot hide and they feel vulnerable (amplified by that huge space with a high ceiling).
We also sometimes forget, that there are personal “(anti)vibrations” among these VIPs. And about that, you can get your clues exactly from their bodies (I honestly believe that Putin cannot stand Netanyahoo).
I’ve also noticed, that VVP is having pretty little eye contact with him. Like in this nice material from 2015:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTbYP0-ciXA
Notice that VVP starts to scratch his finger at 1:15. Also he is changing the position for talking and for listening, which is relaxed (but he is still moving his fingers and feet [which is VVP speciality].
On the other hand, Bibi is showing better self-control, which psychopaths must do, in order to blend and survive…
You are right, Rublev. He does show these signs (and no wonder the saavy Mr. Lavrov made Gabriel sit with his hands hidden!! After that, I thought that one of Lavrov’s gifts/skills as a diplomat is creating a space where anyone sitting across from him can just spill it – say openly what he or she really thinks.) I guess even with all the training, a person can’t escape the human body/mind/psyche so completely.
One other comment I’ll add — so I mentioned before that some members of Russian society appeared in my life, without warning. For some polite, courteous conversation, which I assumed I knew the reason for (some rather unusual past experiences with Empire members that haunted me – I assumed they were interested in this). They appeared a few weeks before Russia entered the war in Syria and I was totally shocked when that happened. Because they revealed absolutely nothing to indicate something that significant was in the works. Nothing. And then I wondered if I even understood correctly the purpose for this conversation in the first place? (What’s that saying about assumptions?? :-) I guess I’ll never know what actually happened, while I was rambling, certain that I knew except what was happening. :-)
I just wonder how possible it is to read the mannerisms of well-trained Russians? In one documentary of Putin, he mentions how he was trained in St. Petersburg to determine if someone was following him. He said that he felt like he’d crawled through the entire city on his belly, as I recall.
Flashback: Here the two meet in Sept 2015.
https://www.rt.com/news/316102-netanyahu-visit-russia-syria/
Crazy-making reading this article today, as so much is exactly the same, while at the same time, so much has changed.
In 2015 netty-nasty tells pooty that Is-rail is fraidy-cats and Syria is a big baddie. Putin says: Syria is fighting for its very existence, it doesn’t have time to pick its nose, it’s not going to find time to pick a war with you.
2017: Nasty-netty complains to Principal Putin that Iran is a big bad bully and once did some really mean stuff and Is-rail is scardy-cats. Putins says: that was 500BC, grow up, get over it.
Both times, Is-rail response is to drop some bombs on Syria.
Amazon removes hundreds of books critical of the holocaust within a day:
Hundreds of important books on the Holocaust by revisionist scholars have suddenly been been banned by Amazon on instructions from angry rabbis in Israel (see video at the end of this article) and from Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem.
Even books not directly relating to the Holocaust, but pertaining to Jewish affairs during WWII, have been included in the mass ban. Revisionist scholar Germar Rudolf has given a complete list of these books (see below) and it’s highly likely more volumes will be added to this growing list of “forbidden books” in the days ahead.

Catching up on the Cafe before last I just read this question by iaon:
” My patient (you know who) is suffering for more than a year now with a little pause last summer and autumn when I was so full of hope. Now, the pain is a daily, uninvited “guest” and I’m in stand-by 24h.
When we begin to have some hope, the “guest” returns. The doctors after asking her age are more skipping the ground…So, the soldier is good in the barracks but is different in the hell-fire, so is with the philosophy and Bible and all religions all together : when you’re in trouble, where’s the help ?”

Pain, Briefly
Pain is a steady, strict, relentless teacher.
“Hope!” says the solemn, smiling preacher.
Still, Death creeps closer since our birth,
Behind moments of anger, aye, and mirth!
“Do not go gentle into that Good Night
Rage! Rage, ‘gainst the dying of the Light!”
I always thought my health would be fine…
Pity! I abused and ruined my poor spine….
Now half my four score years or more
Will bear a veil of pain and tissues sore!
At forty, back, neck in stress and disarray,
Nights disturbed, energy sapped by day.
Yet when my lovely wife I can embrace,
Or laugh with friends, solace and grace
Do not abandon me! Present pain, I fret
Will ever be. Yet, joy allows me to forget!
Your beloved mother’s days draw nigh.
Jean D’Arc she’s not. Heroine bearing high
Banner of glory in light, heavenly cloud.
But she bore you, raised a son, so proud!
“What comes o’er me-Light clouds are lifting me!
The heavy armor doth to winged garments tum.
Upward-upward-The earth doth backward flee!
Brief is the pain, the joy shall be eterne!”
So exclaimed the hero Jean of Orleans.
Would they so say, dying kings or queens?
The time will come… tears will fall like rain.
But surely joy will greatly outlast the pain!

Looks as if there are Turks in Germany exercising their free speech rights who do not care about Erdogan and his Islamic agenda ( only the Russians have a correct position on Kurdish autonomous rights but it will be a new day in the Mid East when that happens and is respected by leaders on both sides of the ethnic divide)

The UK certainly enjoys a special relationship with the US, or so they constantly brag.
The UK is buying nine Boeing P-8A patrol aircraft from the US.
They replace the UK’s own Nimrod aircraft.
The US Navy buys P-8A planes for $250 milliion each.
Australia buys them for $450 million each.
The UK pays $1.6 Billion per aircraft.
And the P-8A uses the mission sensors and systems of the UK’s old Nimrod!
Boeing bought the Nimrod systems and used them in the design of the P-8A.
That’s a very special relationship.
Here is the official Israeli line on what is happening in Syria with their excursion justified and with a little characteristic boasting about their magic Arrow anti missile super weapon. Discernment alert. I’d give this a B-3 on the Saker source scale.

This is important because something is brewing with Israel and Turkey who both want their shares of a dismembered Syria once everyone else does the fighting and suffering against Daesh. And Hezbollah has been reporting for quite awhile that Islamic fighters have been moving into NE Lebanon. That Hizbollah are moving into Golan under invite of the Syrian government is most likely very defensive in nature and probably a logical military move under the circumstances. Bekka valley is ground zero for them.
A “new” thread: Western Europe is being invaded by “hooligans”–AMONG, or as a hidden enemy, the migrants seeking work and escape from war zones. I know for a certainty that this is not the culture of the VAST majority of Muslims, whom I have found to be gracious, friendly and hospitable. Is this introduction of “culture war” into Western Europe part of the Anglo-Zionist attack (I may have answered my own question), but if so, to what end? Simply the destruction of Western European cohesion? Folk with insight into this aspect of the war are invited to assist in my illumination!!
