Russia and Iran have warned the US they will “respond with force” if their own “red lines” are crossed in Syria.
???
Fake
Igor Bundy – please stop pushing the incorrect news about Russia and Iran. Please check what Russia and Iran have actually said – rather than rely on the MSM and a doc written in Arabic Mod
Not sure of the origins of the original, perhaps Hezbollah?
Several different screen shots on the net But have not yet tracked down the original source.

Kremlin confirms fake news
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201704101052484957-russia-us-syria-red-lines/
“We are not aware about that, we cannot confirm that and we do not know where Reuters got this and where these anonymous sources appeared from again,” Peskov told reporters….”
Check your sources – especially if they come from the MSM about Russia and Iran.
Veritas
Russia also has no idea where a number of tomahawk missiles went. I believe Russia asked the US about the missing missiles?
Possibly put out by Hezbollah as an unofficial part of the joint operations? This gives Russia plausible deniability yet sends the message. Reading the translation, it seems inline with Russia, Iran’s positions.
Russia is sticking by Syria, and announced directly after the missile attack they would be beefing up Syrian air defence systems. I take it the new air defense systems will be used to defend against US attacks if required.
“Russia also has no idea where a number of tomahawk missiles went. I believe Russia asked the US about the missing missiles?”
More like Russia knows *exactly* where the missing tomahawks went. They probably are trolling the US military to see if the US knows. Any the US can’t account for can be considered “finders keepers, losers weepers”. Remember the Chinese did finally give back a remote-controlledUS underwater drone after “finding it” near a submerged communications cable.
here’s a good video of Adam Garrie – employed by Peter Lavelle over at The Duran – in a talk show – very well done – about the latest Trump feat –
https://youtu.be/4mQKFomqnqY
The Duran’s view on Brit FM Bozo-Boris canning his trip to Moscow this week, preferring to hang out with the G7 gang in Italy:
The Russians have hinted that he is frightened of meeting Lavrov – the most terrifyingly competent foreign minister in the world – and they are probably right.’
http://theduran.com/boris-johnson-humiliated-g7-rejects-sanctions/
Just as I said in another post,we see now that the US is “considering” more sanctions on Russia and Iran. It appears that while my conclusion that the winner of the US election could only be the candidate most “Russophobic” was only “a little bit” wrong. Trump during the election wasn’t anti-Russian (at least in statements),but after seeing the level of Russophobia in the US deep state he has now embraced it as his own. He sees “Russia-hate” as the key to his survival against his enemies.And is now going the “full monty” with it.Considering his fly off the handle personality,that bodes ill for the World.What I said yesterday about Russia’s two choices is now even more valid:
https://www.rt.com/usa/384112-trump-sanctions-russia-iran/
You may be correct. However, Trump has a way of going along and then turning to his own process to win what he wants.
You can be certain he does not want the ME wars.
He goes along to get the neocons and Russophobes off his back.
Be a little patient.
That attack was very symbolic, not very kinetic.
Let’s see how Putin responds.
This game was always going to be won only by Putin.
Even the big air base in Syria being built is sop to the MIC.
If it protects Kurds while keeping the Iranians from supplying Hezbollah, Erdogan will create holy hell for the Kurds. Is the US going to fight Turkey and tear apart NATO?
The war moves to watch are against Iran. The goal is to disarm Iran.
Especially, since Iran humiliated the US Navy. There has to be US payback for that and the threats to US naval power.
Look at the moves China and Russian are making in Pakistan and Afghanistan. That connects to Iran. Powerful geography that will crush any notion of NATO and the US domination.
Is the Trump goal to stay in Iraq and Syria and control those countries?
You can’t control the ground from the air. Air power controls air power.
So, the question is, will the Turks, Iranians and Russians submit to US air power?
What do you think?
US has to refuel midair to control the skies. US has to use aircraft carriers in the Med, Red Sea and Persian Gulf to put enough planes in the air.
Duty cycle of the US air power is low. They cannot sustain a prolonged air power strategy.
This is the flea with an erection on a barge going under the bridge yelling out, “Open the drawbridge!” He thinks his dick is that tall.
The US can do grave damage in a short period.
The question is where will it try to do that damage?
The US Navy wants this.
They will find an Iranian base and destroy it. It will be a small navy outpost sold to the world as major. And the video that comes out will be denied if it’s from Iranian media. End of episode.
The thing that triggers it?
Anything they can dream up in Syria, Iraq, Yemen or the Gulf.
The US Hegemon is riding high. Trump is using that momentum.
Does he want to be President like Bush? Can he call back the storm he is using?
This is all post-Obama. The question is can Trump make it post-Bush?
McMaster just ousted KT McFarland from the NSC. She was Flynn’s asst.
They are sending her to Singapore as ambassador so she will be far away and won’t talk about the chaos inside the NSC and Oval Office.
The flea with a hard-on, General McMaster. Typical steroid rage one star.
He wrote a book on how to defeat Ho Chi Minh and General Giap.
Laughable.
Eisenhower wouldn’t take that bait. But McMaster thinks he knows how to defeat everyone.
“Open the drawbridge!”
Maybe, but the guy that exposed the Susan Rice outing of Flynn is now saying sources tell him the Pentagon (deep state stooges) are making plans for 150,000 US “boots on the ground in Syria. If true, that doesn’t sound like Trump doesn’t want war in the ME. Of course they would be masqueraded as needed to “fight ISIS” but we all know what the “real” purpose would be.Trump personality is so changeable that he seems to go with whoever seems to be more powerful. And I think he decided that the deep state was too strong to fight.That they would end by destroying him if he fought them.What he doesn’t realize is they will still hate him,no matter what. And at the “right moment” turn back on him. The “only ” possibility I can imagine is if the generals oppose this plan.But as most of them are political animals,I don’t know if they will. I may be wrong but my conclusions on the branches of the US military are that the Air Force and Navy are more the warmongering branches of the services (the Air Force gets to bomb places,and the Navy to sail around dominating,so whats not to like for them).While except for some generals,the Army is the least warmongering (its their blood that is on the line more). While the Marines,I’m not sure of. I think they are split between those knowing that they are some of the first to die in war.And those that are “gung-ho” for combat “glory”. Which is stronger I don’t know.
The logistics of moving 150,000 troops with all their kit in to a suspected hostile combat zone is staggering. For starters you double that number for logistics, transport, supply and support. US ain’t got that number any more, they are scattered all over the world and the cuts under Obama have gutted many of the combat echelons, especially in the backbone of the fighting units, the senior NCO’s and company grade officers with experience. Toss in the politically correct experiment of women now in combat units and even in the Marines and you have a recipe for a disaster of epic proportions.

Time frame? One year minimum. Look at the map. Even if they manage to get that many troops in and on the ground after building all the infrastructure needed, if things go sour they have no way out. It will make Cannae look like a kindergarten tea party.
Your 150,000 troops on the ground? Easy squeesy in….Israel, the source of all this mess. Israeli’s would love the money and prestige, the troops would have easy access. Station them in the Golan.
Get serious about this whole war thang, them poncy terrorists ain’t worth nothin.
Attack Syria from the south, Russia be neutered – VVP will never attack Israel.
Take out them Hezbollah with a couple of tiny tactical nukes.
Nato’s Turkey has the empire’s back in the north.
Problem solved, lets get some real killing action going on here, Trumpland over what was LebanonSyria&Iraq beats Disneyland any day.
Neo-Israeli-Trumpland the complete ME in one small war. The final solution to make Trump the worlds first entertainment trillionaire. Just too bad it couldn’t happen over the Easter break.
If Israel goes the full Monty on Syria, neither Russia nor Iran will hesitate to take them down.
Only a complete fool would think otherwise.
Otoh, neither Lieberman nor Netanyahoo show any signs of grasping consequence…
Trump announces attack; watch the body language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XQZsyQKcGI He seems to be in a different state from all the times I’ve seen Clinton, Bushes, and Obomber lie when taking human life. So I am thinking maybe this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSxXiHRZTOY. As another comment suggested, often the most important stuff happens behind the scenes.
Maybe read Douglas Reed and then apply his findings to Kushner & Co. Every US president before him had this ‘special’ realization after a few weeks in office.
That’s the most likely process going on behind the scenes.
Do they, the Pentagon, think they can go into Syria, make Iran and Hezbollah get out, and come to some sort of rapprochement with Russia (with or without regime change) without things going awry? Sadly, chaos and population reduction always seem to be the results of their plans.
Trump says he is a deal maker — and we know what they say about making a deal with the devil.
But I don’t know what Trump, with his neurotic, delusional ideology, thinks, and I doubt even Trump really knows. I don’t think he is very rational or truly intelligent — else he would have handled matters much differently in many instances.
Larchmonter
Everything I have read – SST, Mercouris ect – is that Trump broke US law with the strike on Syria and can be impeached at any time.
If that is the case, Trump is an owned man. Owned by whatever group has the numbers to impeach or block an impeachment. The group with the numbers is the war party.
Larchmonter445
I like to read your posts.
I don’t understand what do you mean by this
– You can’t control the ground from the air.
Control of cities, government and infrastructure (society, the people) is always the task of boots on the ground.
The US has overwhelming (especially with NATO) airpower. However, t does not control Iraq, and never did. It does not control Afghanistan, and never did. It does not control any nation it attacked or bombed. It can destroy a nation, and has, but it uses proxies (nazis and Wahhabis) to try to control the ground.
Hell, the Israelis tried to control a piece of Lebanon with air power. It failed.
Air power is used to attrit (to break things and kill massed formations). It can help shape battlezones (Russians do this brilliantly in Syria). But it does not control the facts on the ground. Infantry is necessary.
I learnt only today that Trump was not just a pompous billionaire, but also a TV host. Many non-Usanians may not know that.
The Apprentice U.S. – BEST FIRINGS (Part 1) – Youtube
After seeing this video, it’s unclear how you could take Trump seriously. This is a sick, well, let’s call it “behaviour shaping” show. He (and all the other actors) against the sheeple in front of the TV sets.

Repost ( didn’t work first time)
The most important point..
Point seven of the statement details how all US military are legitimate targets as they have crossed every red line possible and operate illegally in Syria. It then emphasizes that the joint military operations room will respond strongly to any aggression and any violation made by the US in Syria.
Fake news.
Please read this rebuttal.

Fake news story in mainstream AND alt-media slanders Russia and Iran
ADAM GARRIE
8 hours ago 14 1,650
The story says that Russia and Iran threatened to attack the US if a ‘red line’ was crossed. This is an outright lie.
A fake news story has been circulating on both mainstream media and alt-media saying that Russia and Iran have issued a joint threat to ‘use force’ in the event of the US targeting Syrian forces again. It was also reported that the issue was quoted as being a ‘red line’, a term generally used by the US.
There’s more, so please visit The Duran – a website that verifies facts, and is transparent about its “opinion” pieces. Quality journalism, not fake clicks and lies.
Forget Garry.
What is in the document matches closely what each country has already stated individually.
See if more turns up in the near future of the authenticity or otherwise of this statement/document.
I have posted a link to the translation above.
Sorry to repeat myself but as this conversation has carried on here – the Kremlin has reported it is fake news today:
“We are not aware about that, we cannot confirm that and we do not know where Reuters got this and where these anonymous sources appeared from again,” Peskov told reporters.
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201704101052484957-russia-us-syria-red-lines/
So repeating it isn’t going to make it real.
Veritas.
, Can you point out where in the Sputnik article Russia says it is fake. As far as I can see, Russia is using words like unaware.
I would certainly like to find the original site where the two screen shots were lifted from and try to determine if this fake news, or something put out by Hezbullah as an unofficial part of the Damascus joint ops room for plausible deniability while passing on the message.
As yet I have seen no evidence that this is a total fake, but not being able to search in Arabic, I cannot trace it to its source.
I tell you where it has come from : from the Al-Jazeera news channel’s info-bar. Read it myself yesterday.
I don’t remember where I saw it but but what I heard was that someone connected siad something like ‘Russia has it’s red lines too’ not being specific, however. Well, everyone has red lines, and if the empire shoots missiles into Russia that is definitely one of them and will elicit a definite reaction.
A country may not state just what its red line are, but everyone has them, and it’s a warning not to push nations assuming they will never respond. But when such a general statement is made there are those who extrapolate, spin, or take statements out of context, and this happens all the time.
I’ve heard several statements regarding US warnings to Russia about the cruise missile attack and don’t know surely or precisely what happened — whether it was a short term (1/2 hour) deconfliction channel message with no political level communication, all the way to US and Russia was talking about it for hours, which I also heard, as well as the whole thing was a joint project between US and RF. (The first version seems most likely to me).
Most everybody has an axe to grind and/or says things not correct, and that’ becoming the norm.
yup
also denied by Peskov

What is hot on twitter:
Trump’s National Security Advisor Planning ‘Full-Scale War’ in Syria
McMaster wants 150,000 boots on the ground in Syria, reports Mike Cernovich
http://russia-insider.com/en/breaking-trumps-national-security-adviser-wants-full-scale-war-syria/ri19516
Meanwhile, Rex Tillotson says that Trump is cooperating with Putin and Assad against ISIS!
Not sure what is going on at all.
No kidding. Now it is “Syrian people should decide Assad’s fate, Tillerson tells US media”
https://www.rt.com/usa/384142-tillerson-syria-regime-change-isis/
A bipolar government. Who know what they will say or do tomorrow.
Ok. This is a guess, and I will try to verify. (But my guess is based on some personal career experience)
Tillerson made his “Syrian people must decide Assards fate” statement on a Sunday night (US) TV program.
Mostly such Sunday night “magazine-format” TV programs are pre-recorded.
So say he was interviewed Monday/Tuesday. That WAS the US policy at time of interview.
Then Thursday night Trump sends out a 59-missile “tweet” and reverses US foreign policy 180 degrees.
No TV station is going to waste the time it has invested in glamorous news anchors, film crews and editing – so it runs the original interview and perhaps “tops” and “tails” with updated info.
They don’t care if Tillerson looks a fool.
They filled their Sunday night slot and raked in advertising….
Remember: it is called TV “programming” for a reason. The 60hz waves entrain your brain into a semi-hypnotic state. You are then receptive to their messages and then also buy the sheesh their advertisers sell.
I do see your point even the date of the post was April 9th. It could be from a few days before.
However, I `would not be surprised if he made another U turn seeing his base crumbling.
According Tillerson, Xi not only understood the air strike on Syria, but also agreed to strike on North Korea. I am sure Chinese is taking notes fast, and going through risk management options.
SCMP is a somewhat neutral site, and has a piece about Korea. Beware of goons in comment section. They are almost every where on Chinese Engilsh sites:
US and North Korea ‘closer to brink’ of accidental conflict

You are correct. Transmitting contradictory messages. To pacify and confuse.
Well said, AlfaAlfalfa. Bannon taught Trump that the media is his rival. Trump is using that tactic to his advantage (and to our advantage in the past, but not now). He purposefully disseminates contradictory views, to confuse potential political opposition.

Precisely why PAL countries use benign 50 Hz instead of diabolic 60 Hz. :)
The Iranian Tv channel (in arabic) Al Alam provide video of Tomahawk interception :
http://www.presstv.com/DetailFr/2017/04/09/517371/Frappe-US–les-S400-ont-fonctionn
Let’s face it. The US used a small force of kinetic weapons. And the shoot downs are probable, as are GPS spoofing the ones that went awry.
All in all, the US gets to beat its chest. It scares none of its enemies and intended targets of their might.
If anyone thinks this scares NK or China, they are very naive.
Trump and his Wall Street bankers cannot sustain a collapse of the world economy and messing with China is a too-edged sword. You can hurt their rise, slow it by a decade or so. But to hurt them irrevocably, you have to destroy the East of China, Guangdong, Shenzhen, Shanghai. Do that and you have no world.
These are threats and bitch-slaps. Trump cannot get a pyrrhic victory in the ME and have a domestic economic comeback. Hegemony and growth do not mix. That is an ironic consequence that is undeniable. We see the West over the last 25 years grow poorer and more chaotic as it rules over more people. Yet, it is sucking back inside itself the snakes that will devour its civilization.
I feel personally more concern about Iran than China.
Even if the today join statement is a strong sign, i feel quiet worry about how far can go the threat on Iran…
http://russia-insider.com/en/breaking-russia-and-iran-say-they-will-respond-force-if-us-strikes-syria-again/ri19518
shoot downs probable..
See the fake news posted by Igor Bundy.
They are inventing reality.
You are enhancing the illusion.
I call bovine scatology on that vid. The Tomahawk is a ground hugging missile, not flitting about in the stratosphere or anywhere near it. Reminds me of footage from Baghdad some many moons ago.
Chill, folks, it’s always darkest before the dawn.
That’s not in Arabic. It’s in French.
The video is hard to interpret, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s entirely fake. Truth is always the first victim of war, and that’s true on both sides.
Yes, the article is in french, from the french version of the Iranian channel Presstv. But the video is from the “Iranian Tv channel (in arabic) Al Alam”.
I just stress that it is an Iranian source…
the only english comment says it is a vid from 2006 in iraq.
Right in time for the centenary of the Russian Revolution Miles Mathis has updated his Lenin paper, adding game-changing, yet not unexpected material on Tsar Nicholas II.
“The Russian Revolution makes no sense unless we assume his [Nicholas II] cooperation in the event. We saw exactly the same thing in the earlier French Revolution, where the event was run out of Versailles and the Tuileries, and where Louis not only lay down for the revolution, but abetted it. I have shown you one leading clue above, where we find that Nicholas was sent letters in Yiddish from Lenin’s Jewish grandfather. I asked if Nicholas could read these letters without translation, and I was not joking. Later, we saw many other indications Russia had been invaded by Jewish interests long before the Revolution itself. Which led me to look at the genealogy of Nicholas. Had the royal line in Russia been invaded, and if so, when and how?
Well, as we have seen with the lines in England, France, Sweden, and other countries, the royal lines of Russia had likely been invaded many times, but with Nicholas finding the invader is very easy. We simply go to his mother, Maria Feodorovna. Although from Denmark, her mother was from Hesse-Kassel (Germany). And if we trace the female line directly back, we come to Princess Charlotte of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfield. She was the 2g-grandmother of Maria. That name should look familiar to you, since the current Windsors are actually Saxe-Coburg-Gothas. I have shown in previous papers that they are Jewish in many lines, being descended from the Jagiellons
of Poland.
This Jagiellon/Vasa line intercepts the royal lines of many European countries, and has been – along with the Medici line – one of the most successful invaders. This is confirmed with the royal line in Russia at which we are looking. For if we keep going back in the female line, we hit Barbara Jagiellon once again. She is the 7g-grandmother of Charlotte. You can follow this line explicitly at Wikipedia, working back from Maria Feodorovna. Since the Jewish lines are matrilineal, this means Nicholas II was Jewish.
This indicates the Russian Revolution was managed from both ends. You should take this knowledge back to the Wikipedia page on Jewish Bolshevism, where they tell us the theory is Nazi propaganda. It should give you a long chuckle, since we can now see that both sides in the Russian Revolution were Jewish, including the Tsar himself. It is clear the Russian Revolution was a total fake, used to cover the Jewish takeover of the government and country. ”
http://mileswmathis.com/lenin.pdf
This sniffing about for Jewish origin is bullsh*t. Doesn’t explain a thing, doesn’t mean a thing.
A year ago or so, I read Mathis’ paper on Steve Jobs and found it fascinating. Because, come on, Steve Jobs is a fraud. Then I read the one on Bill Gates and was underwhelmed; it failed to convince me. Then I read the one on Dresden and it was pure nonsense.
Miles Mathis is the latest evolution in Anglo information warfare.
What he transmits, most of the time, is radical truth.
What matters is not what he is telling you, but where it puts you psychologically when you accept you have been lied to every day of your life — and those lies were not small.
Again, you are being pacified.
It is the other way round.
If you have the guts to realize that society conditions you with lies and lies only, and the guts to close the eyes and look in, what do you see?
Vast emptiness, everything holy.
Vast emptiness, everything holy.
I am trying Taugenichts but I don’t understand. I have been to the place you describe, not very often but I have definitely been.
In your own self description I detect self flagellation, and mortification not of the flesh but of soul.
Are you sure I am backwards?
I didn’t like Miles take on Dresden either. But trying to navigate the millennia old layers of deceit & deception is only possible if one is ready to fall off the tightrope once in a while. Sure, it hurts and the ridicule of the onlookers is guaranteed. So what? Only walking the tightrope does one feel truly ecstatic, awake and alive.
Hmm? I care little for how the author feels. And I don’t have a need for tightropes. My conclusion after a piece such as the one Mathis did on Dresden is that the author is a complete waste of time. The fact that a year later he is found sniffing about for Jewish origins confirms my conclusion.
Just like how Stalin masterfully purged the Trotskyites in the purges, Trump will purge the neocons and covert elements of the CIA after a big failure which Trump himself will set up.
I was hoping it was something like that ….. until the last couple of days. After the missile strikes, I’m now convinced that Trump was just a liar in the last campaign. Like Obama before him, he said what he knew his audience wanted to hear. Polls have largely shown that since just a year or so into what I call the Fourth Iraq War, the American people have said they wanted these wars to end or at the least be scaled back. Trump played on that, a bit more so than Obama, but in a similar line.
Now we’ve seen Trump was just anothe liar, like Obama ‘the antiwar candidate’ was. Interesting that it now seems that to be an American President, you have to tell the people that you are antiwar or in some ways show you want these wars to end.
I’d like to think that Trump was setting a trap for the War Party. But Trump has ‘owned’ the Syria attack too much. He could have put it up for debate and let McCain and others show their colors. He could have let it be seen that he was being pushed into war. That would set up a comeback later.
But Trump, being Trump, has been very outfront on this whole attack. He did it secretely, with no debate, so now Trump very much owns the Syrian War. Trump is now stuck to this like a tarbaby. Which is probably what the neocons wanted. If this turns out badly, it belongs wholely to Trump. When, not if, it turns out to be an expensive quagmire, the Syrian War is now Trump’s.
A
The trump campaign was just as phony as the clinton one, just as zionazi with the same zionazi goals.
Guys who ran honest campaigns : Henry Wallace, Adlia Stevenson, George McGovern, Eugene McCarthy…….
@ VT
Yep. So extremely, double- down triple twist fake, it actually screwed with the NOOsphere and became real !!!
Fact: Trump was NOT supposed to win.
We don’t have to guess at this- the leaked DNC emails from campaign chief John Podesta are explicit. They state: Trump was a “pied piper” candidate. He was supposed to be so absurd, ridiculous and “never Trump” that he’d lead the sheeple to HRC.
Somewhere along the campaign trail, the sheeple got lost and went astray.
And somewhere on the campaign trail Trump began to believe HE could be the President of the United States of America !!!!!.
The most powerful man on the planet.!!!!! Every little boy of Trumps vintage grew up wanting to be President. It was the American Dream. Somewhere along the line he assembled and attracted the right bunch of strategists and money to make it happen.
THAT’s why there has been so much turmoil behind the screens in the US Deep State. Trump screwed “them” over and “stole” the election. Trump as president simply WASNT supposed to be.
100-days in, “they” have made deals and done some “stuff”** and the usurpers behind the scenes are coming to terms with the “rightful” owners of the presidency. Trump has made one of his famous “deals”…. He gets to live/ keep presidency (for now), and he does what he is told.
Don’t “believe” any of what I write. Go to wiki leaks. There’s 20,000 or so emails. It’s all there.. Unvarnished.
The DNC (and background players) constructed theatre so DJT would be the RNC candidate.
Jeb Bush wanted to be Prez, but when he realised it just wasn’t to be – he got with the program.
Also “they” detected another Bush was stirring/waking the sheep huh? Bush? What was that I read about 9/11? So they distracted with TV-showman and “joke” candidate, Trump.
But he was supposed to lose.
Then Hillary had that epic pass-out (karma!~ in NYC at the 9/11 memorial event!) and the sheep got skittish. Trump was healthy, Alpha and strong / she was ill, female and whiny.
** Murdered Seth Rich has been confirmed as the Wikileaks leaker. He leaked the DNC emails and was murdered. The investigation into his murder has seemingly not attracted energetic investigation.
In a 2001 episode of The Simpsons, Donald Trump becomes President and predictably, chaos ensues.
After the sh**storm blows over, steady and dependable Lisa Simpson replaces Trump as President and solves everyone’s problem by doing the ‘obvious’ thing — raising your taxes.
Lol. I’ve been using that expression a lot these last few days. Don’t let them move you into a condition of emotional terror. Everything has been invented. When you are calm you can easily spot the epic contradictions of their manufactured narratives.
It is difficult to accept that our world is guided by the most ingenious people, when for most of your life you have been taught they are all monsters and idiots, like Killary Killington or Donald J. Trump.
Remembers ladies and gentlemen, these are actors and petit billionaires, not the people in charge.
I would like and many, many others which supported and vote for DJT he will do massive purge of neocons ,warmongers, russophobes after TRex return from Moscow….
What can be deduced from the US missile strikes in Syria the strikes didn’t really hurt the Syrian Arab Army nor it’s Air force . While the Syrians did lose six aircraft they were older Mig 23’s that could well have been in a museum yet the US decided to strike them with 23 cruise missiles . Yes there were other targets struck at the air base ,but nothing really of strategic importance. The intriguing aspect of this strike is that apparently only 23 out of 59 missiles hit their targets .What happened to the other 36, no media source has been able to ascertain this question ,yet the Russian Defence spokesperson is adamant that indeed 36 did not strike their targets. Now if this is true then its obvious that something occurred that is beneficial for one side yet a detriment to the other ,if the Russians did jam or redirect the cruise missiles then the US must be seriously worried that their vaunted missile is highly vulnerable. We’ll just have to wait out on this until someone leaks some info.
The US Government and the MSM were in a highly unsavoury position with the Hundreds of Iraqi Civilians massacred by US airstrikes in Mosul , their Teflon suits were having great difficulty deflecting the criticism’s mostly by the Russians and the alternative news sites. Mind you that the outrage was nothing comparable to the way that the Western MSM attacked the Syrian and Russian Governments with regards to the liberation of Aleppo.
President Trump has been under constant attack not only by the Dems but also the GOP itself along with the FBI and CIA .He has been cornered stained and insulted by this pack of hyena’s complaining about Russian hacking and Trump being some kind of a Russian puppet. None of which has been proven up till now and probably never will be because its a Scam . Yet President Trump’s response has been very meagre and his right to exercise Presidential options meagre as well – that is his choice. Trump was handed the August 2013 Ghoutta gas attack ‘Red Line’ playbook and he took the bait ‘hook line and sinker’ perhaps thinking or incited to accept a trade off. Which would unite the opposition rallied against Him and spin it towards bipartisan support for his decision to strike Syria ,which is what happened .This places Trump in a precarious position where he will be further manipulated ,this bring into question his rhetoric about ‘draining the swamp’ which during the election campaign sounded genuine but was more than likely guile on his part.
The Western backed Wahabbi Takfiri terrorists are now going to be emboldened to commit more ghastly Gas Attacks because their logic is going to be derived on the assumption that the US and her EU allies are going to demand more punitive strikes in support of the terrorist activities if and when they create more ‘false flag’ attacks against innocent civilians ,surely the Russians know this .
The US warned the Russians of the impending cruise missile attack and the Russians warned the Syrians .The US didn’t have much choice in the matter because the Russian Navy would have considered the incoming missiles a direct threat against their ships .The Russian air defense batteries in Syria proper would also have considered this as a direct threat . The Russian decision to cancel sharing flight information with the US is a wise choice ,the US and the NATO types may have been hoping that this ‘flight info sharing’ would allow them to bomb Syria at their discretion as long as they gave the Russians a heads up. The Russian Government isn’t buying it at all ,they will strengthen their air defense capabilities and de facto set up their own no fly zone. As long as the Russians have no warning they will consider all incoming missiles and aircraft as a threat.
This is going to change the game in Syria and there are no signs that the Russians ,Iranians or Hezbollah will back down .The Iranians know that if Syria falls they will be next and this will ultimately include the Caucasus Region . Hezbollah knows that if Syria falls the war will spill into Lebanon and the Russian Federation will suffer from this domino effect.
Keep in mind that the American system is a bit different from other ‘democracies’. America is a two-party democracy, and not a multi-party democracy.
An American Presidential election is 50 simultaneous state-wide elections. And all the states except two of the smaller states are state-wide, winner-take-all.
This forces contenders to form alliances before the election. This is why there are two ‘major’ parties, and that only they can get elected. Each party has to form a coalition that can be victorious in state-wide, winner-take-all elections. You either have a large party with the power base to win or at least contend in winner-take-all elections, or you are completely powerless.
The key is to realize that within these ‘big-tent’ major parties, there are always various factions. Within the Democrats, there is currently the Hillary faction and the Bernie/Warren faction. Within the Republicans, what was once the ‘Tea-Party’ faction has become the ‘Trump faction’, and there is also a strong wing called the ‘NeverTrumpers’. These are the neocons and supporters of the Bush faction that got their tails whipped by Trump in the Republican primaries.
The Democrat Hillary faction and the Republican NeverTrump faction are the two that have been vicious since the election in attacking Trump. The Democrat Bernie/Warren faction has been strong against some of Trump’s policies, such as his immigration polices, but has been quieter about the Russian connection and the foreign policy. Interestingly, the Syrian Missile attack has brought them into foreign policy, as they represent also what’s left of the old anti-war Democratic faction. Even though Bernie consistently refused to say a single anti-war statement during the last election.
So, the old Democrat antiwar left that didn’t support Trump, and the Republican Libertarian right that did vote for Trump (or against Hillary) are coming more into play as opposition to Trump after the missile attacks. But of course the Democrat Hillary faction and the Republican NeverTrump faction are now happier than they were before.
The comment above is largely correct, its just not as simple as saying ‘the Democrats’ do this and the ‘Republicans’ do that. You start to realize its more complicated when you realize for instance that the “NeverTrump” faction is moving closer to Trump now that he’s proven himself to be a war criminal.
yes, to imagine Hillary Clinton’s (and Bill’s) reactions when, after the election, Trump said “They’re nice people”
Before the election and right after he won, the Clintons were probably scared…but then, ‘all is well’
would have signalled to them, that he is really of their kith and kin.
Too bad.
But I wonder if Hillary had won, where would we be now ?
Sweden and Egypt both had critical reactions to US strikes.
And they both had terrorist attacks…
What a surprise that was.
I had not made the connection.
Thx
The west is not in a hurry to condemn this terrorist attack on a Christian Church (Tanta – Saint George Church)…
I am grateful for all this cafe dialog today. From the sidelines I offer some thera-poetry for Holy Week.
It is Fulfilled.
On humble colt He solemn rides,
Into foreboding Palestine.
From Him there shines triumphantly,
Sun-crowned resplendent Majesty.
Awakened all beholding eyes
Respond with reverent hailing cries:
Praise to the Son of God on high!
Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!
A King from heaven bowed down low
In darkened Earth, his blood to sow
Seeds of Light and Love Divine,
Eternity flowing into time.
Obscured in shadow, the Pharisee’s dare
Against God’s will, the world to snare.
Their devil’s pact is to insure,
The soul from Spirit Light they’ll lure.
Silver coins in hand they trust,
Power and money, greed and lust,
Will lull the people from His wake.
His Spirit Sun they’ll fast forsake.
Poor people such the devil’s fool.
Hear their cries turn cold and cruel?
“Crucify Him,” they cry instead.
“We would rather see Him dead.”
From the Cross Christ’s Blood has flowed.
Into Earth depths Sun force bestowed.
Light Eternal and God’s power replete,
That human souls may evil defeat.
In the spiraling cycles of time,
In the Mother’s vast embrace,
Through strength of effort and rapport of grace.
There shall arise a new Adamic race.
The days of Holy Week proclaim
From what false promise we must refrain,
How when faithful to His Word remain,
Our Divine noble nature we will regain.
k
(A special thank-you to ioan and t13 for their responses in the last cafe.)
Dear kinterra, this poem of yours is magnificent, one of the bests ! Thank you !
Kinterra’s Thera poetry.. nice flow.
The Kingdom of heaven is found within
so heed not the roar of chaotic din
Steady as she goes, chart the course
Full speed ahead, soul power is our force.

It is very clear now that trump said a lot of stuff during the election to get people on board his run that were lies from the start. Several people posted info about the political campaign strategy outfit he used which specialized in psywar manipulation of political demographics. Trump simply said what these specialists told him to say in order to get more people to vote for him.
Once elected, they used the same strategy, made vague statements that didn’t gave away their true agenda. Kept their hand close to their chest. Once inaugurated, their true agenda began to show through the cloud of bs they spend a year laying down. Yet after each exposure of fraud, people keep making the same sorts of excuses for these zionazis they did for the obama regime.
People are being steered to look at trumps betrayals from the wrong vantage point:
“The deep state forced trump to fire flynn and bannon.”
That being a good example of that nonsense. The tuppence regime used flynn and bannon to achieve certain political goals. Once their role became redundant, they were discarded. That’s how zionazis do things.
Look at everything else this regime is doing. None of the intelligent things put forth during the campaign are being pursued, the sods are mostly doing the opposite. Examples:
Their replacement for obamacare was even a worse corporate welfare scam that left out the token help for the poor that obamacare incorporated.
Literally every tuppence foreign policy decision has been as dismally zionazi, fascist and repugnant as from the last regime. It’s obvious trump is willingly fulfilling the same sort of role just like obama. In fact, all this making excuses for trump is an almost exact replay of the excusing of obama’s duplicity.
Trump is not being threatened by an illusionary “deep state”, nor out thunk, out fought, out maneuvered by said, or any of the other bs used to excuse his regime’s actions, the sod is a willing accomplice, anf has been all along. That was the plan. He’s another duplitious zionazi stealth candidate.
It is a total waste of energy and time to continue making excuses for the guy. The horse is now very, very dead, stop flogging the rotting carcass. You won’t bring it back from the dead.
In fact, all this hand wringing in defence of the zionazi quisling trump very much reminds of the pet shop owner’s role in the Monty Python Dead Parrot sketch:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218
Vot Tak,
You are very consistent and today, quite funny.
You certainly have great argument about Trump turning out to be quite the slippery dick.
However, the Deep State had him in the sniper scope and his family, too. Included in the inner group are Kellyanne Conway with enough death threats to require 24/7 SS coverage for her and her family. The neocons were driving for impeachment. The Congress held up his appointments, still delaying many.
To ignore all the obstacles and dangers and threats to his Presidency as mere theater and feints, fakes and psyops is really telling tens of millions of Americans, some very astute, as astute as you, that they were fooled.
No, nothing of the sort. Trump is making moves to win against Russia in the oil and gas business and to win against China in the trade war. Along the way, the logic of using missiles to send messages is pure Americana. We’ve been standing off and firing kinetic rounds at people for 30+ years. When America sends in troops, they get into deep trouble. The Pentagon wants to do that next.
How else would he have acted in the ME? Fire some missiles and wag the dog.
He’ll try something in 100 days with NK.
The man is not ideological. He is practical and hard-nosed. He’s faced down mafia in NYC and Jews in the building industry and city government, hoodlums in New Jersey, Atlantic City. He knows hardball.
He was trained for five years in military school, always a leader, and understands power and how to use it.
We had hopes for Detente. That is gone. The follow on with Putin will be Cold War 2. Putin won’t negotiate with him on these terms.
Trump’s weakness is he will walk from a deal. He won’t like the deal he will get with Putin. That leaves him with a war in the ME which he does not want and cannot accept. He will walk from that.
He’s changing over his Oval Office team. Priebus will probably be shifted out. Gary Gould will have most of the domestic economic power. Trump has to produce results domestically.
The military will take a shot at Iran. I described above it will be naval. Missiles.
We know heavy stuff is moving from Russian into the region, into Syria and probably into Iran. China will be send tons of stuff. They have deep interests in Syria and Iraq. And though they have few PLA involved, there are plenty of material for war in Chinese ships that will port in Syria.
The US may try to stop it later. But there will be no sanctions on China for arming Syria with whatever Russia tells them to send.
Trump has the Pentagon, rigid with desire, putting into action their plan to sever pieces of Syria away from Assad. Imagine the UNSC discussing that.
The moral authority of Egypt is already showing. Al Sisi has not stood with Trump on this Syrian thing. And he won’t walk away from the help he needs from Russia to deal with ISIS and Libya next door.
Trump has had a good week. It’s been somewhat contrived.
Calling him out for hypocrisy or turnabout is one level of criticism.
He has gambled with his movement voters. He has to deliver victory over ISIS no matter what he attempts against Assad.
If he continues to play the Kurdistan game in Syria, he will also have to overthrow and replace Erdogan. I’m not certain Russia will allow that. Turkey is as important to Russia as Ukraine right now. The Turkish Stream, the Straits, the border with Syria, and trade and tourism are huge for Russia-Turkey arrangements.
Trump has proven he is no Obama. He still has to prove he is no Bush 43. Right now, most people think he looks a hell of a lot like “W”. And it will only get worse in the months ahead.
I make no excuses. The minute Flynn was out, I dropped all hope for Detente. That was the key to every prayer of all the world that Trump would deliver on cooperation and peace. The Khazarians won. They killed General Flynn.
So, from then on, all I’ve done is denote the subsequent intrigues.
My expectations were tied to Flynn reforming the IC and MIC.
Trump can’t find the pump much less the switch to drain the swamp.
He will be covered in septic slush soon if he allows McMaster and Mattis to try to win a war in the ME against Russia, Turkey and Iran in behalf of the Realm.
In your terms he went full Zio.
His base now has to shift to get Dems voters who didn’t vote for him. I think he has miscalculated by assuming he will be acceptable to them because their neocon wing loves his missile attack.
Trump has one foot on each side of tectonic plates moving apart.
The RINOS want him out. The Liberals want him out.
And he cannot fight a war and take the losses that are coming, even though the bodies will be not be counted. His secrecy over operations will only last a few months.
The future is filled with despair for some. Trump started with a weak situation. He made it worse by not standing up to Pence, shutting him up about Flynn and protecting his wingman. Unintended consequences. They get the best of the Emperors and Khans and Kagans.
My faith has always been on the other side. Putin.
My hope on this side was Flynn working reforms.
Trump, not being ideological, had potential.
He still may beat some of the Tribe of neocons and Russophobes.
But he has dug a crater for himself. And they may shovel over the dirt atop him before he climbs out.
He’s not to be counted out yet. And we haven’t seen Putin’s moves.
History is in his mind and hands. He will determine our next years, not Trump.
Trump could have made it easy and joyous. It didn’t happen because he could not make it happen. They cut him off and backed him down. His bad.
Looking at the picture at the top, we find ourselves in quite a shabby café today. Funny, how that doesn’t stop us from having the best chat ever. As we do every time when the opportunity presents itself.
Making the best out of every situation. A vastly underrated skill, actually, beating black magic consistently without even making an effort. Ha ha. I call it everyday magic.
Why Americans actually lost in Vietnam? The reason was simple. While having maximum 540 000 in early 1969, only 70 000 were ground force combat soldiers. And 1/3 of them were out of frontline combat duties. Yes – US had never more than 40 000 grunts to be sent to frontline combat. In 1968 over 16 000 US soldiers die in Vietnam ( over 45 000 wounded). Not sure the share of those frontline grunts but in case of Finnish military losses in 1941-44 combat soldiers took 94% of bloody shit.
After Vietnam the techno warfare has cut the share of combat grunts to about 5%. 150 000 soldiers might sound impressive but in real life 90-95% are just Etappenschweinen, “rear area pigs” ( List Regiment Kameraden called young A. Hitler during WW1 with that name).
You just can’t win a war with 7 500 combat frontline grunts in huge and complex area of Middle East. The whole thing is pure lie.
Syria is good place to show those Americans. More firepower to Hezbollah, Iran and Syria now. Small and heavy weapons, millions of mines, mortars, etc… Unlike they think there in States war is not so fun at all. It’s just racket as Smedley Butler said before his death. Every bully will face his doomsday.
Trump goes to Syria, Trump goes to N.Korea, Trump doubtless will escalate Ukraine on the way to Russia regime change.
Who next? Yes, Iran, unless of course somebody else pops up. How about a war on Klugestan or Corteguay? Most Americans will be all for it.
Wasn’t there a corporal who made the mistake of fighting on two fronts?
Let’s not forget that a few years ago, the Pentagon has stated that the US is prepared for a multiple front war-scenario. It couldn’t be other way, even in the second world war, they fought battles on several fronts : Europe, Asia. Of course, the cream on the cake is that US always fought in coalition with others. This time will not be different, it won’t be difficult to find contributors. We even can name them very easily by geography.
So you think the USA can prevail against Russia -perhaps with Iran and China backing the latter too? You may be right but history doesn’t bolster that theory and putting it to an empirical test may result in no history in the human context.
Has the USA prevailed in Afghanistan even?
As for those contributors, the ‘handmaidens to the barbarian’ hanging on its coattails, you may find they get sudden cold feet when faced with a bad-tempered bear.
No, I’m not saying that US shall prevail in a multiple battlefield, I’m just saying that the Pentagon has such plans. What will be the outcome is pretty clear for everyone : devastation. There is no way that US wouldn’t be touched either. The question is, will the clear mind prevail or will the warmongers have the upper hand.
It’s anyone guess; commonsense or even sober military analysis and assessment are now superceded by jingoism, arrogance, supremacy ideology and the seduction of power.
‘Too big to fail’ mentallity blinds them -I think they have started to believe their own propaganda.
It really is very depressing.
Late but important. Is Assad gassing dolls or what is that around the kid’s neck?

Chemical Attack In Syria Kills About 100 People
CBS Los Angeles. Published on Apr 4, 2017
Starting at 1:08.
Israel seeks Syria’s destruction for several reasons.
Among them are:
1. To isolate Iran
2. To isolate Hezbollah
3.To steal the Golan Heights
Syria is the only Arab country that has consistently refused abandon the Palestinians and kowtow to Israel.
Syria lies at the heart of the Resistance against Zionist machinations in the region.
Therefore, by deception they have sought to manipulate the US, Europe and others – more so the US, which is essentially ‘occupied Israeli territory’ to do Israel’s biddings vis-a-vis Syria.
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/227936
Trump is the latest in a long line of goyim fools.
He has allowed arch-Zionists like Sheldon Adelson to innundate his administration with Israeli-firsters who are now actively imposing and implementing policies that he supposedly campaigned against.
Why do you think the Jews were so vehemently opposed to his election?
Trump’s ‘America first’ policy would compete with the ‘Israel first’ one that has been foisted on previous adminstrations and has been in operation for years to the obvious detriment of the US.
@S400. What you say is correct. But it is a smaller piece of a larger “puzzle”.
The US-UK and their dark force owners are resolutely implementing the Yinon Plan for the ME.
It’s taking decades, but events and milestones are accelerating.
Yinon Plan: Greater Israel = Biblical “Promised Land”
Rabbi Fischmann, member of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, declared in his testimony to the U.N. Special Committee of Enquiry on 9 July 1947: “The Promised Land extends from the River of Egypt up to the Euphrates, it includes parts of Syria and Lebanon.”
Oded Yinon’s
“A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties”
The plan operates on two essential premises. To survive, Israel must
1) become an imperial regional power, and
2) must effect the division of the whole area into small states by the dissolution of all existing Arab states. Small here will depend on the ethnic or sectarian composition of each state.
Consequently, the Zionist hope is that sectarian-based states become Israel’s satellites and, ironically, its source of moral legitimation.
Everything that is happening (and has happened) in the ME and the US+UK policy directing events is explained and obvious. This PLAN exists and is being implemented.
Aligned with the Yinon Plan is the Intermarium plan for East Europe+Central Asia.
This too is resolutely being implemented. Breaking up Yugoslavia was part of the start.
Implementation is underway:
http://carnegieeurope.eu/strategiceurope/?fa=63300
The position paper from this “think tank” outlines how to engineer geo-political events to deliver this objective.
It’s not a solo voice. Here the powerful and influential US “think tank” and policy manipulator: Stratfor details how to contain and control Russia. (The included maps looks exactly like the Intermarium:
https://www.stratfor.com/weekly/estonia-azerbaijan-american-strategy-after-ukraine
Valdai discussion club:
https://valdaiclub.com/a/highlights/geopolitics_of_intermarium_kiev_s_conduct_escalates_tensions_in_the_baltic_black_sea_region/
The formation of the renewed Baltic-Black Sea region or the Intermarium started in the 1990s.
In 1993, US Presidential National Security Adviser Anthony Lake proclaimed the concept of expanding democracy. It provided for the involvement of former Eastern bloc countries and Soviet republics save Russia to Transatlantic institutions. The Clinton Administration launched NATO’s eastward expansion in 1994 with a view to its implementation. The Kremlin adamantly objected to this policy. Since then, Russia and NATO have been competing in the Baltic-Black Sea region.
With these two plans understood, EVERYTHING that is happening geo-politically makes ~perfect~ sense

Next week Russia is to be accused of aiding ‘Syria’s war crimes”, by the British Empire war criminals and their stupidest American accomplices. At one point Trump realized they were his enemy, out to destroy him with tales of golden showers raining upon hookers in….where was that?? Maybe you should go set the record straight, and forget this Macbeth role, Donald.
It’s raining Demorats and Repugnicans,
It’s pouring lies and false flags.
But the wise Old Man ain’t snoring:
“Lyndon LaRouche today warned that there is a British-run coup d’etat in process against the Trump administration in the United States, which threatens to parlay the stupid and dangerous April 6 air strike against Syria, into a full-fledged thermonuclear confrontation with Russia and China.
It’s the British bastards who duped President Trump into attacking Syria, with their lies and false intelligence, LaRouche charged. We have to destroy the British system and all their interests in the U.S., he stated. We have to rally the U.S. to get back on the trajectory that Trump had begun to chart for the country, of cooperation with Russia and China around American System economic policies, including a return the FDR’s 1933 Glass-Steagall principle.
Trump and Putin should immediately hold a summit meeting to address the crisis, LaRouche said, and thereby short-circuit the whole British operation. LaRouche strongly endorsed the comments this weekend by veteran German statesman Willy Wimmer, former Secretary of State of the German Defense Ministry, who warned that “people are afraid of a global war, a Third World War,” and argued that “the current dramatic situation offers an opportunity for the Russian and U.S. heads of state to meet as soon as possible.”
There can be no doubt that the British are behind last week’s shocking about-face of Trump’s policy. Top British officials are crowing openly over their achievement to date. For example, British Defense Secretary Michael Fallon published an op-ed in the April 9 Sunday Times of London, bragging that “the British and American governments have been in close contact at all levels before and after the strikes… U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis called me to share their assessment of the regime’s culpability. Together we reviewed the options they were considering.”
On April 8, British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had also claimed that he was coordinating everything with his American counterpart, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, including Johnson’s theatrical cancellation of his scheduled trip to Moscow. “I discussed these plans in detail with Secretary Tillerson,” Johnson boasted. “He will visit Moscow as planned and, following the G7 meeting [in Lucca, Italy on April 10-11], will be able to deliver that clear and coordinated message to the Russians.”
Today’s Sunday Times elaborated, in an article accompanying the Fallon op-ed, what that message would be: ,“Britain and America will this week directly accuse Russia of complicity in war crimes in Syria and demand that Vladimir Putin pull the rug from Bashar al-Assad’s blood-soaked regime.” Fallon further wrote: “By proxy, Russia is responsible for every civilian death last week,” adding that Putin must now get with the program, by agreeing to the overthrow of the Assad government.
The chances of Putin going along with this British demand, are zero. The chances of the situation spiraling into a thermonuclear confrontation—either in the Middle East or around the Korean peninsula—are significantly greater than zero, so long as the British are calling the shots.
Having induced Trump to attack Syria based upon their lies, the British are now also orchestrating a storm of opposition to President Trump in the Obama wing of the Democratic Party, calling for Trump’s impeachment because of the Syria caper. Trump’s actions this week have also weakened him politically among his own base of supporters, both in the U.S. and internationally, who are shocked and dismayed at what he did—which adds grist to the British mill.
The current situation is extremely dangerous, LaRouche emphasized, and can lead to war in the short term. And it is being brought about entirely by the British, and nothing else. We have to destroy that British imperial system. The citizens of the United States must rally themselves against this British coup. No intelligent person will accept what the British are up to; the only people inside the United States who will back the British, LaRouche said, are brain-drained people who are traitors to the U.S.
We have to come down like a hammer on this, in order to stop the British coup to take over the Trump administration, and the related drive to war. The Schiller Institute’s two-day conference this coming April 13-14, on “U.S.-China Cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative and Corresponding Ideas in Chinese and Western Philosophy,” will present the policy alternative which is capable of destroying the British Empire, permanently.”
Trump, get your head out of the guillotine MI-6’s Christopher Steele has been sharpening for the purpose of separating your head from your shoulders and confer with the other guy that can keep the world from going to hell: Putin.
Or you can play MacBeth and tolerate a witches’ brew of more and more stupidity piled on to your April 6 mega-blunder. It’s the British, Stupid.

“By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes”
Boris the Buffoon goes up against Putin & Assad (&Iran, Hezbollah etc.):
“Boris Johnson said the message from the meeting should be clear – that Russian President Vladimir Putin must be made to abandon his support for Mr Assad”

So the Sarin theatre production directed by the White Helmets was used to ‘justify’ a ‘shock and awe’ cruise missile retaliation of no military consequence.
Does anyone think Putin and Russia will be persuaded by this crude blackmail?
Rest assured Putin has the matter in hand; I’d be taking out all the media space I could (or what the MSM allowed, plus non-corporate media) to discredit for once and all those Soros White Helmets. If that didn’t work perhaps a bounty on White Helmets and their local sponsors?
Next I’d go after whoever cooked up the Sarin witches brew -assuming there actually was one and it wasn’t antacid tablets to foam the mouth and eye drops to shrink the pupils.
After that I’d lean on Israel and tell them to put a stop to all this nonsense.
Perhaps two can play at the blackmail game?
I have read a few days ago a very negative article on Medvedev in Russia insider, no need to to bring it here. But I am puzzled by him Medvedev? What is his role in Putins government? Is he an asset or a liability? Some opinions?
While the USA and Europe are 100% assets of the Cartels, Russia managed to retain a tiny bit of sovereignty – just big enough for Putin’s desk. The rest, as they say, is history.
What about Medvedev, you ask?
Better forget him quickly. He is one of these ghouls the Politburo has positioned in a globe spanning grid at a 100 meter distance – put there to siphon of money, egg on the mafia to be more reckless, scare the elderly and the kids, talk grandiose nonsense on ZionTV – you get the picture.
Medvedev, in other words, is a ticking time bomb. Hopefully hacked by the FSB.

At last I’m free
Versions: #1#2#3#4
The silence is above me
The sky full of rain
and this rain is piercing me out
but there’s no pain anymore
At the time when stars had whisper
We have burnt our last connection
Suddenly everything falls down to hellhole
And freedom I will gain
Without evil and goodness
My soul was like that blade runner
I could be with you
and forget about whole world
I could be loving you
but it’s just a game
With help of noise of wind behind
I’ll get over your (forget) voice
I’ll get over those human love
which burn’s us out to ashes
and I was crazy about you…
Now there’s no place for you in my soul
Припев: Chorus
At last I’m free – like that bird flies in the sky
At last I’m free – I forgot the fear inside
At last I’m free – like that wind-wildly
At last I’m free – not in my dream but in realty
The silence is above me
The sky full of fire
and this fire is piercing me out
And here I’m free again
I am free of love, of animosity and of that people talking
Free of fate
of that bondage which held me down
of evil and goodness…
Now there’s no place for you in my soul

Небо, полное дождя.
Дождь проходит сквозь меня,
Но боли больше нет.
Под холодный шепот звезд
Мы сожгли последний мост,
И все в бездну сорвалось.
Свободным стану я
От зла и от добра.
Моя душа была на лезвии ножа.
Я бы мог с тобою быть,
Я бы мог про все забыть,
Я бы мог тебя любить,
Но это лишь игра.
В шуме ветра за спиной
Я забуду голос твой,
И о той любви земной,
Что нас сжигала в прах,
И я сходил с ума.
В моей душе нет больше места для тебя.
Я свободен! Словно птица в небесах.
Я свободен! Я забыл, что значит страх.
Я свободен! С диким ветром наравне.
Я свободен! Наяву, а не во сне.
Надо мною тишина,
Небо, полное огня.
Свет проходит сквозь меня,
И я свободен вновь.
Я свободен от любви,
От вражды и от молвы,
От предсказанной судьбы
И от земных оков,
От зла и от добра.
В моей душе нет больше места для тебя.
Я свободен! Словно птица в небесах.
Я свободен! Я забыл, что значит страх.
Я свободен! С диким ветром наравне.
Я свободен! Наяву, а не во сне.
Thanks for sharing this with us, you know, it’s heart breaking and warming (the singers) and also thanks for the lyrics !
Wow, that guy is an amazing singer. The song itself is a very well known Russian rock song from Aria, one of the few Russian groups, very few, western audiences were allowed to know existed, thanks to zionazi (ie, in this case jewnazi and Jewish mafia: absolute control of western entertainment, for those who were unaware.
Thank you for that information. I have only just heard of Aria — it’s tough to find out about contemporary Russia music without speaking the Language (and google/youtube doesn’t make it too easy of course, if one does not know what to look for).
‘Voice Kids of Russia’ has some amazingly talented people.
Among British people I slightly know, I can certainly give Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson quite the much, very much the nod in this debate with a very manic evil clownish looking character named Bill Mitchell was asserts maniacally that Trump has “established himself as the leader of the Free World”.
Pardon me while I puck, Billy Boy ….and I wouldn’t trust you around children for 5 seconds.
The way you “think” is simply perverted epistemology, and clinically so:
https://youtu.be/n1zQQzZmuZk?t=300
Look at the guy’s psychotic facial twitches and grimaces for God’s sake.
He’s like some kind of satanist creaming in his jeans over this evil, convoluted garbage.
He’s a maniac. Too bad he shares the name with the Australian economist. I might guess he’s hyped up on some kind of drug.
We are in a time that reminds me of one of those years when suddenly there are earwigs everywhere, or a plague of black flies, or that summer when I was a kid and hoards of Japanese beetles came and ate all the roses and other flowers. ‘Disturbances in the Force’.
I guess Jung would have had something to say about it.
Michel Chossudovksy destroyed Noam Chomsky. Chomsky is now officially death fish on left.

Meanwhile process continues and day by day USA is even officially becoming fascist in its core. It’s relatively easy to understand why China and Russia must be careful with that raving mad now because as we all known the cure for this disease is not reform and surely not any fake election democracy but – catastrophe and very real and very devastating. I guess it will be mostly economic though Pentagon might fool sacrifice few thousand its boys and gals in Middle Eastern desert. China and Russia should double check that pain is immense for that fascist rascal. Remember how Germans became (mostly) peace loving people?
Thanks for posting that MC article, M. It is duplicitous Jewish Zionists and their leashed shabbas goy gofers who have corrupted destroyed the western left to the point that the few remnants left effectively serve the interests of israel and the fascist oligarchy associated with that psychopathically sick country and political/cultural movement.
There is “another” Moscow Conference on International Security coming up soon. And the Deputy Russian Defense Minister says international expects will “once again” discuss World terrorism. I’m not a fan of these conferences. Where “everyone” will bemoan terrorism. While at the same time “moving heaven and earth” to avoid calling out those countries actually funding,arming,causing,the very terrorism they complain about. It pretty much makes me want to vomit. If they would “actually” accuse,and name the guilty ones. Then “maybe” something would come from the conference. If nothing else,people would see which countries are behind this disaster.Of course we here know the guilty ones. But we aren’t officials,or experts on terrorism. So what we say is pretty much useless. But a speech at the conference saying “the US ,Britain,Israel,Saudi Arabia,Qatar. These are the sponsors of most terrorism in the ME today”. Would actually “mean something” and get down to “brass tacks”. Stop “beating around the bush,and tell the truth.The truth is “always the best policy”:

Is Trump doing a one-eighty to please his political foes – it sure looks like it. Indeed, the mainstream media is now singing his praises. One has to ask – has the deep state and the neocons tamed Trump?
CrossTalking with Joaquin Flores and Dmitry Babich.
They are getting closer to the meme but still too hard to call, imo. Joaquin is a sharp analyst and his “Trump surrounded by …” is a plausible. Let’s look at some of the MSM images and themes in flow.
1. Trump has shown his true colors — the election run up was just a grand deceit.
2. Trump is an idiot (with small hands) and so weak willed that the swamp now owns him.
3. Trump is a genius and has double-crossed his own praetorian guard.
4. Trump plays too much golf and insults Chinese Premier with attack during visit.
5. Trump has shares in Raytheon.
7. Trumps is controlled by his son-in-law and Israel.
8. Hillary knew about the plan and tried to front run him.
9. Hillary would do the same or more.
10. The female naval Commander (Andria Slough) who just killed 5-6 Syrians by following orders not (yet) approved by the Congress — may as well be a proxy for Clinton.
11. Some old non-flying junk was destroyed in a Syrian backwater airfield.
12. A significant % of missiles did not arrive at target and are unaccounted for (duds or trolled?).
13. US MSM frenzy on the “beautiful killing machines” etc and they now have a ‘real’ POTUS (Yemen butchery does not count it seems – I guess Saudi $$$ can buy press silence).
14. Various vassal states (Canada/Aust) falling over themselves to get on board without knowing the facts — most of the normal world puzzled and scratching their heads.
15. Bannon is demoted and may be walking out — Flynn was the turning point.
16. Someone told the Russians who then warned the Syrians.
17. Now NK suddenly needs some US naval confrontation.
18. Tillerson heading to Moscow to chat with Lavrov (and learn how to dance).
19. The ‘deplorables’ on edge – is he or is he not a turncoat? (wait for the next episode in real-live ‘reality’ tv land…)
20. Real economy tanking at full steam ahead for the next Great Depression (with, or without, the Great Wall of Mexico).
Binary alternatives:
A. Trump is the 180-degree dupe and wave goodbye to any alternative to the neo-con-future … buy Raytheon shares and gold before WW3 breaks out.
B. Trump is a shrewd cookie and may just be playing his own game with both sides of the table.
On the “B” assumption — by way of outcomes:
1. US air force largely grounded from ‘no fly zone’ Syria after the Russian’s break the coordinating link.
2. Russia and Iran pledge to increase support for Syria and warn a red line exists — Belgium heads home before it’s called into take one for the team-USA.
3. Syrian defence is upgraded as response (and not provocation) — old Syrian planes likely to be replaced and the trained pilots keep up the attack pressure on terrorists.
4. The US domestic front is in chaos dribbling unproven hype and fact-free fake news while Clinton’s Democrats don’t know which way to jump and Obama is put to bed as the POTUS who couldn’t do it.
5. Tensions with Russia increased but manageable and now the US war machine has to decide what next — do they really want war with Russia, Iran and possibly China? Do they prosecute the man who just might give it to them?
6. Trump will likely continue to lay golf (on his own golf courses) and commute via taxpayer express.
7. Now the neo-con chickens in the coup will have to sit down and shut up, or take the BIG War Plan to Congress et al — and Trump is probably not going to support any of it, other than status quo foreign policy log jam.
So, in between the flashing neon lights with “Assad Must Go” / “Assad Can Stay” / “Syrian People Can Decide” (but no elections in Bahrain or Saudi Arabia) / the “US Will Decide”, Turkey in/out of NATO depending on Kurdistan, and the Israelis still denying they lost an aircraft but have made no new flights (other than pushing the US to drop a few payback Tomahawks), we have rather ‘calm weather’ ahead in the region for some time ahead – ISIS excluded.
There will be no boots on the ground in Syria most likely — the logistics alone would be impractical. ISIS is dead and when the Russians/Syrians/Iranians have cleaned them up Trump will tick it off his bucket list and get on with domestic policy.
He’s basically, bitch-slapped ‘nice’ Hillary Clinton and her ballbusters with Commander Andria Slough who just killed 5-6 Syrians by following orders not (yet) approved by the Congress.
He’s put his offensive team in gridlock and well aware that any major escalation to WW3 status would simply play into his hands — as the end point, before the big showdown, would be Putin and he (and a couple of others) sitting down face-to-face and working things out.
They are forcing him to take the long hard road but at the end he holds the pen and barring a bullet may just prove that not using it (for once) may prove mightier than the neo-con sword. Only time will tell in this action research project.
in the meantime there is the reality of IS fighters massing in Mariupol and Gen Votel getting green lights to trample more red lines in the midEast and of course the elephant in the room, Israel, piping up ready to pay the piper by doing the neocon bidding. The time line is not long enough for there to be much play time:
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/russia-threatens-apos-real-war-081245821.html
We know the Russians only threaten once.
“Trump is the 180-degree dupe and wave goodbye to any alternative to the neo-con-future …”
Ahh — got it. It’s the remix:
Trump is not DC (pun intended) but AC (alternating current), a sinusoidal wave form that first goes negative and positive, above and below the red line, periodically reversing direction, generating high tension — a transformer which induces crazyness in everyone around him, and, as Edison demonstrated, AC kills elephants. Currently in the negative phase, and will continue to make waves.
Two things:
Wow.
And thanks.
Today is the seventh anniversary of the Kaczynski Katyn Krash in the immediate vicinity of the Smolensk airport. DLF had a short story commemorating the incident. There are apparently still factions in Poland pushing various conspiracy theories about Russian sabotage or in-flight destruction.
Seems like a good moment to repost a pointer to former Lufthansa captain Peter Haisenko’s brief and matter-of-fact analysis of the event:
Smolensk – Katyn: Ein Absturz wie aus dem Lehrbuch – Januar 14, 2011 – Peter Haisenko
Key points:
* There was no fire on impact, showing that the plane had run out of fuel.
* The plane inexplicably didn’t have enough fuel to make a safe flight.
* High ranking Polish military staff, under the influence of alcohol, was found in the cockpit telling the captain what to do.
* Absolutely no reason whatsoever to blame Russia or anything or anybody Russian for anything.
Even the first Polish investigation confirmed this, but also is being turned up side down to obtain a eu missive and dismissed Russia.
Thank you for sharing, it is sure good to know that „even the first Polish investigation confirmed this“, where „this“ probably means that the Polish investigators also found that the crash occurred because of lack of fuel, that high ranking Polish military staff was found drunk in the cockpit telling the captain what to do and that there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to blame Russia or anything or anybody Russian for anything. I am confident everybody here will agree on that.
However I did not understand the rest: …but also is being turned up side down to obtain a eu missive and dismissed Russia. Do you mean the plane was turned upside down? According to the pix it was, yes. Or the case has been turned down since then? Ok, but what for? To obtain a eu missive and dismissed Russia? –?
Unfortunately, English is not my mother tongue so that I am not able to understand your argument. Could you please explain?
Thank you.

Rep. Gabbard under fire after refusing to
accept ‘Assad did chemical attack’ without proof
https://www.rt.com/usa/384169-tulsi-gabbard-syria-strike-assad/
“Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has provoked a backlash from senior Democrats after refusing to take Syrian President Bashar Assad’s complicity in the Idlib chemical attack at face value and demanding proof.
The remarks infuriated some “progressive” Democratic figures, including former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean and former Hillary Clinton policy director Neera Tanden, now the President of the Center for American Progress, a pro-Democratic Party think tank. The two suggested on Twitter that Gabbard, who also famously visited Syria for a covert “fact-finding” mission, should be expelled from Congress for her doubt of Assad’s guilt.
“Gabbard should not be in Congress,” he wrote on Twitter on Sunday. Asked by one of the users why the former Governor did not display a similar indignation over “Hillary Clinton’s mistakes,” Dean responded: “Engaging in dialogue isn’t the problem. It’s claiming there is doubt Assad uses chemical warfare.”
The spanish inquisition has been resurrected as the israeli inquisition and it’s marching in full stride among israel’s colonies. The zionazi owned scum like dean and tanden should be treated as the traitors they are.
Philip Giraldi, former CIA officer and Director of the Council for the National Interest, says that “military and intelligence personnel,” “intimately familiar” with the intelligence, say that the narrative that Assad or Russia did it is a “sham,” instead endorsing the Russian narrative that Assad’s forces had bombed a storage facility. Giraldi’s intelligence sources are “astonished” about the government and media narrative and are considering going public out of concern over the danger of worse war there. Giraldi also observes that the Assad regime had no motive to do such a thing at this time.
https://scotthorton.org/?powerpress_pinw=23774-podcast
For those that do not know who Phil Giraldi is, this is what he said some years ago:
“Americans can either confront the ugly realities of what has been going on for the past twelve years or they can pretend that what they are seeing is not really there. The reality is that if progressives (and the rest of us) really want to stop a proxy war against Syria followed by a catastrophic conflict with Iran we have to take the blinkers off and be willing to confront Jewish groups like AIPAC and the ADL directly and persistently.”
— Phil Giraldi is a former counter-terrorism specialist and military intelligence officer with the CIA and a columnist and television commentator who is the Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest.

Hmmmm. very suspicious as if the fog of info war is being created deliberately so that something can be staged in an unclear manner. Well, the Russians need to be very clear then with official statements on air from Russia.

Up to $73k per spy: Beijing offers hefty rewards for tip-offs on ‘foreign agents’
https://www.rt.com/news/384180-china-rewards-for-spies/
“Chinese security services are offering bounteous rewards – ranging from 10,000 to 500,000 yuan (US$1,450 to $72,440) – to citizens for providing vital information on suspected foreign espionage activities, state media reveal.”
Damn! If only they made such an offer, to non citizens, back in the 90s. I met a Jewish american sayanim back then who worked with the Tinanim Square “color revs” and no doubt other things in China. Could have used a few extra grand back then.
A few days ago I laid out the two (and only two) choices for Russia’s future survival (or not survival). While its certainly too early for definite conclusions. It appears so far from the Duma,they lean towards choice one (surrender to bullying). If anyone wonders how the US keeps hegemony,its really quite simple.Use equal amounts of bribery and force. If you can bribe people to obey you,do that. If not force them too. If and until,they meet an opponent able to refrain from selling out.And one not afraid of their threats.Then they will continue with World domination.Its just that simple.So far I don’t see signs of that opponent. Those few that I see resist the bribe.Don’t seem to be willing or able to resist the force.Here on RT is the perfect example of that.When you tell your enemy “up front” you won’t fight,you give the struggle away at the start : https://www.rt.com/politics/384175-russia-has-no-intention-to/
A Swamp to Swan Story
Drain the Swamp was first chanted by people at Trump rallies. At first Donald did not like it but grew to like it and then used it to get elected, or so the story goes. More likely, it was inserted by Intelligence to get him elected and to implant in the populace at large that they are indeed in a swamp which only the State can save them from, fake news which gives me the blues.
I caught up on the news yesterday and charged up my batteries during the day by various means. I finished at 10:30 last night, went to bed and slept til 1:30 when I awoke and was sorting things out until 3 am when I came over here to the motorhome and caught up on the cafe conversation.
I went back to bed outside at 6 am and got a couple hours of sleep. I had a dream about climbing up a snowy cliff with danger of falling backwards. I lay in bed pondering until coming over here again at 9 am.
Last night there was a beautiful full moon overhead with Venus nearby. The winds were rather strong. Quite a contrast between Venus and Mars, women in heaven and wars on earth.
Allow me to summarize where I’m at by means of this black swamp to white swan story.
War is a swamp. General Smedley Butler called it a racket. Eisenhower called it the Military Industrial Complex. It is also called the AZ Empire. I call it Patriarchy or the Patrix for short. Anyway, war is its stomp in the swamp.
I do not intend to be swamped. Fortunately, there is a swamp boat called The Love Government which takes me through the swamp to dry land which is now pretty much a wasteland of war. There the Love Army guides me through the land mines and clears my way by stopping war along the way.
We are heading for the Love Bower which is also called paradise or a vineyard. I am debriefed in the war room and then briefed in the conversational cafe here and given food and drink. Then I am given wedding clothes and a pass to the Love Bower where I sleep and am reconnected to the life of reality.
But the story is not over. To prove my new-found status as lover I return by the way I came back to the swamp to pick up those who wish to leave, and then as a member of the Love Army do to others what was done to me.
This journey is repeated over and over until the swamp is drained. It’s a rather long process but each time the game is won successfully it gets easier. That’s the short version. Of course it’s much more complicated but I need to live an unswamped life so I must be short and sweet. I’ve got lovers to meet and promises to keep before I sleep.
It’s now 10 am, the sky is clear and sunny, the winds are quiet with no swamp in sight. It’s a land of delight which proves to me that the swamp is a fake news story which I don’t have to buy. As long as I don’t get trapped in it, I can even enjoy its drama both as comedy and tragedy.
This same story is being recapitulated by Orthodox Easter week where Jesus goes into Hades and picks up those in his lifeboat those who are ready to leave hell to cross the Styx swamp. I know it’s a mixed metaphor but quite apt in these mixed up times, a black swan event in world white with fright.
Love to all and to all a good day.
@Dennis I love your mixed metaphor because it is the picture exactly. Fog of confusion with Venus on Vacation and mercury retrograde with Mars at a kill or be killed position in Taurus–patience and appeal to higher power is in order here.
here is from a source A-1 via the Saker scale in my book
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu_kv-omEOw
Great last sentence Dennis……intuitive, perceptive, instinctive, etc
When I reflect on these latest events I think ‘They have tried’ to murder Easter, the way Kissinger murdered that past Xmas with his saturation bombing of Hanoi. The only other group capable of such brutal, sacrilege is ISIS. They bombed Egyptian Copts on Palm Sunday. But then ISIS is US.
At least someone is standing on principle: I rate this source C-2 according to Saker scale in my opinion
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/hezbollah-issues-stern-warning-targeting-mid-east-christians/
It needs to be “always” remembered. And “never ever” forgotten at “any” time,that the US doesn’t ever keep to agreements that are equal. When they don’t favor the US,they “will” never keep that agreement.Those that deny or forget that are doomed to not survive. Some people who would “like” to believe that the US criminal attack on Syria was a one time crime. Are just plain wrong.The US will confuse the issue by making it appear that they aren’t continuing their attacks. But that is purely a “smoke screen” to deceive the World.Like a “dog with a bone” the US never will give up that bone. And the bone in question is the destruction of Syria’s government. And the humbling of Russia,leading to the future deconstruction of Russia. Once that “bone” is chewed. Then the next bone will be China.For anyone looking at the historical record of the US’s policies,its really easy to see.But the problem is that foreign leaders don’t seem to do that. And unlike with Americans they don’t understand the psyche of the US and its leaders.So they don’t recognize until too late the level of commitment to “exceptionalism” in the US system.A good example might be a serial killer. Once they have killed,there is no going back.They liked it,they were good at it.So any thinking that a serial killer will just stop their killing is foolish beyond words.
Some will say (I hear that all the time),that Russia (or China) need to only protect themselves. And that sounds pretty reasonable at first. But once you examine it closer you discover the problems with that.Lets say Russia withdraws from Syria,gives up their friendship with Iran.They let the Ukrainian junta have Donbas.They let Georgia take South Ossetia,and Abkhazia. They give up on Transnistria’s protection.They let Belarus fall.They let jihadis overrun Central Asia.They give up on their friendship with China.They proclaim as some advocate,”we are only concerned with our own protection”. So where is the World (and Russia) then.Would that lead to peace,and “save” Russia.No,NATO and the US would move in to control all the World,”except Russia” herself. Russia is left with no support from any country on Earth. And at the whim of the US all trade with Russia can be cut off. Trying to strangle her economy. While at the same time funding terrorists and 5th column elements to attack Russia internally. Until at last they are hinally ready for the “great crusade” to finish Russia off.I’m reminded of a well known song from the past that those “Russia along” people need to listen to : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaWLBX5uvuw
No matter what, Russia must be dismembered, demoralised,disembowelled , destroyed by any means possible…..
This “One thin Soldier” you linked just hits the nail. Never heard before, and I am grateful for this. What you wrote about the negative probabilities, you’re right, the danger is still there, that could happen and Russia will stand alone. In such a scenario, the world could say “adieu” because the button will be pushed. Maybe Russia is testing and waiting to see who is standing behind her, with her, in the mounting pressure. Maybe Russia is playing with the time – having already established the real Red Line, the end of the timeline – on how will react those who call themselves friends at bad times not just good times. The times will worsen, the Red Lined one crossed, they will act probably in full force. The warnings have been given, not just one time, with friendly and kind words, not with arrogance but according and respecting the international law, which all the UN nations have signed. When there is no law more to be respected because the Empire and her allies have no respect for that and give no damn for the UN laws, what will be the consequences of this total disobedience ? the answer is chaos and War ! We are here to share the truth and we have a hope in Russia, that hope may have to resist till the last breath even if we feel the heat of the battle which is raging allover the world, including our souls. The justice must be done and it will be done. If we will die ? so what, Jesus has resurrected and He is the greatest Revolutionary, are we afraid when He did it ?
When i see Nikki H., T. Rex, Trump, Rycroft (?) speaking utter lies and insolence i wrapped up anger.on this blog I can not swear because moderator is waiting in ambush and i cannot send evil thoughts to ” partners” because of karma may strike back. I have to break something. anger overcomes me also when I see “good practically-nothing” answer from the Russian side.
how some of you solve that anger, when and if you feel it?
now russian said they will not shot at americans. very kind from them. why they shot at german army? then, who will shot at american mercenaries when time come? because they will not stop. smart or less smart, we know americans will not stop. there is only China and RF available on this planet. so, we have to wait chinese to say they will not shot at americans also. this planet is doomed.
Sanjin, Of course Russia or China “has no interest fight US force”. But I doubt they will not protect themselves when the fights are brought to them.
Here is the idiot reporter tweeted a few hours ago, it do not look like US is getting free lunch in Syria:
People also need to remember that Russia is been surrounded with possibility of war on 3 sides. Syria, Ukraine and Far East. Of course China will need at Far East, but I doubt Russia will leave her own safety to others, even it is China.
No rational country will charge to war without deliberate, long deliberation. Yes, Trump stroked disregard international or history normal, then now, America planes are “painted” by both Syrians and Russians when ever it go into Syria air base. No one will trust them any more. The situation has become much more dangerous, to American as well.
I do not worry about this particular comments. If Trump think he has free hands in Syria, then it will be a tragic mistake. Same goes to North Korean. I’d be surprised if Kim V3 is not position his Sams, and the ever resourceful smugglers can not find stuff they need in time of conflict as what happened in NR. Both sides of Yalu river may have thoroughly studied the War in NR and has learns some tricks there. Also NK is not a flatland as in East Ukraine.
Sanjin –
Every time I see one of your comments I always read it aloud. Since the one about abrahamic religions. That really taught me something. Thank you for that.
Maybe I can return the favor? I will try my best. The anger you describe, to release, in my view, please consider two ideas.
1. My favorite approach is to chop some firewood or move dirt or something physical and connected to the earth. Something of actual value to someone.
2. Consider that those in power have access to things we cannot see. Xi and Vlad know about deals we can’t ever see, and both seem pretty content lately.
3. American forces can’t fight without air conditioning. We are a pretty uninspired bunch.
Nothing for it but to go down to the seas again. Here’s a beautiful version of the song with guitar accompaniment.
https://youtu.be/MU-F45tR3Kk
Sea Fever
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
John Masefield
Lavrov and Tillerson meet tomorrow and rumors will fly . Discernment will be in order. And, remember, it is not only the US Death Star spokespersons who use “plausible deniability”. These power games of the Death Star are not just those of the low-lifes playing craps for the cloak of Christ, but rather are those of people who know very well what they are doing.
I do not know in Christian terms what the terms of their “forgiveness” will be but in Buddhist terms it would probably be many lives spent learning the hard way in really unpleasant realms.

Abstract
A new switching element and a circuit device and the like using the same
element are provided, which comprises semiconductor in which a channel
region is formed at an interface with an insulating film, first and
second terminals S, D, which are located in corresponding manner to both
ends of the channel region, and through which a tunnel current is let
to flow into the channel region, and a third terminal G giving a high
frequency vibration to a potential barrier of the channel region through
the insulating film, wherein the tunnel current flowing into the
channel region is increased as a value of an exponential function is
increased with a predetermined threshold vibration frequency as a
boundary value.
It’s quantum effect tunneling.
There are also quantum computers now.

The atomic constituents of matter are never still, even at absolute
zero. This consequence of quantum mechanics can result in continuous
transition between different material states. Physicists at the Max
Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids have studied this
phenomenon using ytterbium, rhodium and silicon at very low temperatures
under the varying influence of a magnetic field.
Until now, it has been assumed that the properties of a transition of
this nature can be described completely with the fluctuations of one
parameter, in this case, magnetic order. However, the experiments that
have now been published reveal, completely unexpectedly, an additional
change to the electronic properties of the transition. It confirms again
that quantum effects can result in phenomena that are inconceivable in
classical physics. …

Quantum tunnelling or tunneling (see spelling differences) refers to the
quantum mechanical phenomenon where a particle tunnels through a
barrier that it classically could not surmount.

According
to the laws of quantum mechanics, free carriers in a metal or
semiconductor can only take on specific values of energy, as defined by
the crystal structure; that is, the energy is quantized. For most
practical purposes, there are so many closely spaced energy levels, it
appears that the carriers have a continuum of possible energies, except
for the well-defined gaps characteristic of semiconductors. When the
carrier is confined to a region where one or more of the dimensions
reach the range of less than 100 nm, the quantum energy levels begin to
spread out and the quantum nature becomes detectable.

Rumor has it that Trump’s memoir of his Presidency is going to be titled, “Art of the Double-Deal, or how the American people got dealt out “
Trump is losing his base over the Syrian attack:
http://nationalinterest.org/feature/donald-trumps-biggest-problem-20092
I agree with this: I was surprised at the numbers of deplorables condemning it, from Zerohedge to Breitbart.
Also, the Bannon v Kuschner/Ivanka meme seems to be taking off….
http://theduran.com/democrats-attack-tulsi-gabbard-want-her-removed-from-congress/
No room for free speech. No dissent. No skepticism. Neocons, Democrats, liberal leftists…all united to remove Assad, prop up ISIS and begin WW3.
The warmonger knives are coming out for Gabbard in what is looking like Iraq WMDs all over again.
I dropped by my clubhouse yesterday to see what th’ fellas were sayin’ ‘bot the T-Man’s fiasco in Syria… An informal group of old guys in a small rural town by a river that drains into the Pacific, old motorcycles, old men – all veterans who have had time to think…about life.
These guys all voted for Mr T, hoping for peace. All poor working class veterans…
Downcast eyes, silence, glum.
The consensus?
He, the T Man, has ruined himself and made himself into a war criminal.
Explicitly those words. “War criminal” – a this is the opinion and consensus among the ordinary men, men who are illiterate, but experienced in life. They pity T Man now…
And leaders must never be pitied…because then they cannot be leaders…
Their deciding matter was war or peace… Now they’re simply waiting to see the other shoe drop…
This is not an issue so serious, but something I think that should be mentioned.
As I’m no English speaker at all, a native Japanese speaker just who’s self learning English, it is not easy to read up most of the Saker articles because…it’s too lengthy to do so.
I can read more articles when each one has half a length.
This is not my fault, for not to be born as someone more English capable.
But I can’t have time to read up more articles that Saker writes.
He writes a piece pretty lengthy, most of the times, so I need to pick one, not two.
However, as far I understand, Saker is…not for a non English reader, or, not for a non alphabet handler.
But the informations he sends to the world are, I guess, ones those must be exposed to more people’s eyes including non English speakers.
So my little wish is that he’s going to make an article more short, in more easy wording, with no elaborate expression, to have more readers like me.
Truth is worth exposure, but it has condition to spread wider.
And Saker himself is…as far I see…too stubborn, actually has no ear to listen to anybody lol.
This is not sarcasm, half a praise.
Moderation is ridiculous, as I said before, and you better adopt Disqus so to make all of us more facilitated to have a grasp of our own comments and the replies provided.
We can’t even set our own avatars in this system at all.
This comment system *uck.
Please read our moderation policy … #2 “All comment have to be impeccably courteous to me, the blog’s author, moderators, any guest author and all the other commentators.” . Constructive comments are encouraged … but if you do not like the system … please move on to other sites that meet your standards …. mod-hs
Wow wow relax man, take a deep breath, as I meant nothing offensive to “you” at all lol
As I said, I’m no English speaker so not able to convey what I usually do in my first language.
So any misunderstanding can happen in my text when it is written in English.
BTW, I’m curious if you don’t like someone from Asia, or from east Asia, or you just don’t like Japanese?
I guess your basic English doesn’t help on a site like this, which requires not just a competent grasp of the language but some degree of literacy in one’s native tongue.
There are many commentators who do not speak English as a first language on this site.
Nevertheless, they are able to comprehend the Saker’s articles and even critique them – the only ‘ giveaway’ is occasional grammar errors or unusual sentence- construction.
All are obviously literate.
So instead of expecting the Saker to ‘ dumb down’, work on your own skills.
Better still, search for a competent Japanese- English bilingual to translate the site, maybe even start a Japanese Saker.
For example, the situation in Onikawa is of interest to many, besides the Japanese.
How much do you know about Japanese relations with the US? What are the implications for Sino- Japanese relations?
Look on the limitations you complain of as an opportunity to bring a truthful approach to understanding what is driving our planet towards war.
Nice legs on this Boris??
Does not quite cut it though if you are trying to play Geo-Political Tennis.

Kent
Jeez Kent – that should come with a health warning!!
Off to get some eye wash….
Yuk!
Spartan German and Russian Saker using different Trivium “Grammar” (same words indicate nearly opposite meanings…fear, courage,etc)……. and spark the most participation and resonance from others than I have seen in weeks in the multi-level analysis Syria missile affair by Saker.
My own heart, mind and gut winces at the waste of Trump cards on an overbid hand of Middle Eastern Bridge.
If I were Putin and Xi facing Perfidious Albion and The Donald in a rubber match World Land Bridge Championship, here’s how I would respond to the Donald’s stupid 7 Spades to Bury World Peace Grand Slam Bid, raising his very odd bed partner Christopher Steele’s 5 Clubs (UK, USA, ZION, Otto Man Erdogan, KSA):
I’d be tempted to outbid The Donald and go “Seven No-Trump” but when an opponent that should be making deals, ditching old “pissing partners” and making new ones is in a wrecking mode, being egged on by a perfidious “special” partner that wants nothing more than to topple and sodomize him on the Muammar Qaddaffi model, and have him eaten by the Dogs of War, maybe it’s best to simply “Double” the penalty for stupid bidding and let the odd couple piss all over each other after going down by about 3 too many tricks.
Recklessness is not fearlessness, it is the incapacity to care, the stupidity of Hamlet sticking to what he knows will doom him, because he fears even more, changing and bravely entering the unknown that is his only exit from doom.
Is The Donald that unconscious, or can he have the sense to upend the bridge table unto Steele and then jump on top of it, asking Vlad and Xi to pile on, crushing every British bone in Steele’s miserable pedo-sodomic carcass??
We will shortly discover the answer whether this moon is a good one or a bad one.
https://youtu.be/zUQiUFZ5RDw Bad Moon on the Rise
Cajun Care, Careful Now Cafe
Coming down the Cajon Pass, early last night,
Full moon low, in dusk’s cobalt steel grey light.
The beauty above whispered, “Blessed, beware!
Careful, as I am, of lies, death’s demons and fear.”
Was that a bad moon risen in a threatening sky?
I saw Care waxed fully, filling hearts to ask why
They should close up in dark dread or despair,
And shiver and shudder, like lambs in lions’ lair.
Deceivers know only fear and control, never God.
They just don’t “get” Daniel nor Bashar Al- Assad!
The false pride of fear will its own courage devour,
To die many deaths, before their appointed hour.
A calm fear is called “care”, it bides its time well
And is never tempted to plunge headlong to hell.
It is wedded to courage and the firmest resolution
That its being be spent in its own soul’s evolution.
Russia’s a nation that knows what is War. And so,
Sets a Universal Example, “As Above, so Below.”
Others talk a tough talk while shirking their cross,
Bravado’s bullshit, silver souls’ sickening dross.
A Good Moon has risen, she is Courage,True Care.
She moves all men to defend and lovers to share.
For her sake husbands, and her daughters and sons,
If they must, endure war’s bombs, bullets and wounds.
Neither Russians nor Cajuns are cowards, but wary.
Hurricane passes, then peace and bodies to bury.
It’s not cold fear to know that you can’t live a slave,
Or prepare for storms and what’s beyond the grave.
Souls
If I could tell you how our souls see,
You might like how beautiful our world could be,
There are imperfections and raw beauty,
That revolves around people like us and their glee,
Maybe we’ve stopped loving the things that set us free,
Or there’s just an invisible boundary,
So just close your eyes and let the pain flee,
I hope it sets off your heart from the cage of worry.

Kent
Good afternoon. I just returned from my walk south down River Road; takes a half-hour each way to get to the public access and back without going through the hole in the fence. Looking north I see where the river cuts a “V” into the mountains. I live on the north end of the Ojai Valley.
I am accompanied by the Love Army which takes me fro and towards the Love Bower “V.” I think love along the way, following said army’s injunction, and it leads me to you and the vineyard. In the river bottom there actually are the remnants of an old vineyard with the grape supports still standing.
This morning I planted an avocado tree in the ground between my motorhome here and the outdoor kitchen there. Poor thing has been in a container perhaps all its life and it’s as tall as me. Talk about root bound. She did not look at all happy. Now she can stretch her legs and wiggle her toes.
I find a lesson in this. I too am root bound and this vineyard is helping to get me free where “I shall be released.” I just listened to Kent’s link to Tal Wilkenfeld”s song about changing under the sun. Change can be scary but it helps to whistle in the dark. Kent is a genius at presenting moving pictures and sounds fit for the times and their errant moods.
Talk about changing and shaking things up, Trump sure knows how to make waves; I hope not like Chris Rea’s Road to Hell (hat tip again to Kent). I like Trump because deep down I am like him although without his bully background among the thunderjacks. Here’s the reasons I like him:
1. He saved us from Hillary’s version of the road to hell who promised what has never been done: march on Moscow and live to tell about it.
2. Trump likes Putin but because of the rabid snakes hissing at Putin in our snake pit media, Trump has to dissemble his love for now. In other words, Trump aligns with vineyarders who carry the banner of stopping the war on Russia. Trump can’t wait to make deals with the largest land mass in the world.
3. Trump is backed by the good guys in the empire who want to send the globalist, neo-conmen back to the basement from which they slithered out with the JFK hit. The good ol’ boys of nationalism, many of whom are loaded and ready for the bear hunting Russophobes to bare their assets, are licking their chops to put the AZ crazies on the grill before they kill the goose that lays the golden eggs for the top of the food chain money farmers.
4. Trump loves women as any “he” man should. His wife and daughter are not only beautiful but command respect. I think “Womam” is the sine qua non of Love and Life. Patriarchy turned Womam into Woman and the good patriarchs now have to right what they wronged. Donald is an example of that. If you doubt that, remember what he did to Hillary and her hellions.
5. In this dog eat dog and survival of the fittest world of terror at the top, he has to project the strength of a man. If he does not he’ll be shark bait and an also-ran. Time and again he sets up the assassins paid to kill him by playing his weak cards while hiding his trump. He is also brilliant with chess, protecting King Man with Queen Womam.
Look what he just did to the demoncrats in the person of Filibuster Schumer over the supreme court nominee Gorsuch. He set the globalists up and low-balled them with old balls strategy. He needed 60 senate votes but did not have that many to kill the filibuster and hundreds more down the road which would have smothered the trump agenda. He changed the rules to 50 votes with perfect timing when even the sheeple saw a dead end looming and had his back. The demons walked right into his trap and now his whole agenda can walk through like it was an angel parade. (I’m basing this analysis on Dick Morris’s which I just read). If it’s wrong, it still makes a good try story.
Finally, on my walk I had the thought that this vineyard is like that tree I planted. It has done great in the pot of analysis but the time has come to get off the pot and into the higher ground of reality. Time to keep up all the fine war analyses and fine-art fineries; and move into the boots on the ground catalyses. This vineyard is set up to be a catalyst of stopping war by starting love in a new version of Jesusanity (Jesu-sanity) on this Holy Week of Orthodox Christianity as a kick-starter for Loveranity or Love knows what? I don’t know but I think this vineyard does and that means us if we’re not going to get thrown under the war fever forever bus.
As part of my doing my bit to stop war, I think love and send love to Donald J. T. frequently as well as doing the other nine divisions of the 100,000 strong army of love.
OK, OK, I hear you. “Get that fool off the pandora soap box.”
With my feet on the ground, my seat on the couch and my eyes on the prize, I wish all of us to be full moons on the rise, as once more I reprise with words for the wise: “love, love and more love.”
Great post Dennis … my only question is why not ‘the hole in the fence’ its the act of the rebel. Love your visions … i look forward to your post … ps i’m off the clock now … mod-hs
Hi hs. I don’t go through the hole in the fence (as a few young ladies who live or visit here do) because I’m not a rebel. I’m a lover who wants to re form what’s been de formed.
While I’m on the line and as bedtime beckons, let me say I just listened to Mike Cernovich and a guests talking about memes and memetic warfare. I was thinking about this vineyard and how the Saker has long talked of the information war of 85, % that is.
Here’s my thought. The saker vineyard is a great meme for us who know the backstory but for Joe Public, assuming we want to go more publc (whoops,I meant public) in this meme war, the word saker is incomprehensible with many thinking of a football player good at sacking the quarterback or perhaps a soccer player putting the ball in the net/sack.
Here’s what turns me on in a meme sense. “Falcon Vineyard or Vineyard Falcon.” Most people will know what a falcon is but they would not know that a saker is a falcon. A falcon is a great image for strength, beauty and speed. Put that together with a vineyard which is an image as ancient as our oldest genes and you’ve got a powerful meme.
I have played on that theme with the Love Army of falconers and the Love Bower of gentle vineyarders. Christianity’s meme of a gentle Jesus and strong Christ accomplishes the same, even converting the most powerful empire of the time.
An idea whose time has come is awesome. It’s Orthodox Easter week with another powerhouse meme: Death and Resurrection.
Our masthead shows a falcon (saker type) on a high perch overlooking a valley within which we can image our vineyard. That wily bird of the winds keeps the rat population down so rodents don’t eat up our vineyard. You can see where this is going which is pretty cool
There are so many skilled info warriors here that if they play their genes and genius right the falcon vineyard could become a household word. “Did you hear what that falcon vineyard said now?” “No, what did you hear on that grapevine?” “What? A Russian living in Florida?” To quote Toby Belch, “Shall he live?”
I’m not sure we want to go that route. As Dylan would say, we’d “step into the arena.” Could be like Daniel in the lion’s den or Christians in the coliseum or “we brave few” of Henry V. I’m just saying. And it’s getting late so maybe my brain is partly slain or asleep already. Consider the source.
I love vineyards. I visited one on a group tour that included Jerusalem at the vineyard tomb where Jesus woke up alive on earth. Who on earth do you think found him first? Peter? No. John? No. It was Mary, who may have been his lover. I just love the story. She thinks he’s the gardener and approaching him from his back, says: “Sir, can you tell me where they have laid him?” Jesus turns and says “Mary.” She falls into his arms weeping with joy. What a story. Some say the greatest that changed the world.
Jesus predicted it. Another vineyard would come that would change the world again. Like I said, I’m just saying. I’m half asleep so consider the source. Or consider what the Saker is considering during the long church services. I wonder if he gets distracted by thoughts of war in all that incense and candlelight.
Good night. I hope to sleep tight. Now I lay me down to sleep; I pray for love my soul to keep.
. . . Loveranity, but don’t you mean Lovereignity? Check the The New O’Leary Dictionary, should be there, along with all the best of the rest.
I love it. Thanks. Not sure what’s in the backroom of your mind but let it be.
I was just rereading the Count Khazar episodes of Love and War when I found this gem: a falcon is an ancient icon of the phoenix, a fire-bird that rises from ashes like Christ from death. A saker-falcon doubles down on the fire meme like a middle linebacker sacker on a halfback. Cheers.
Let’s hear it for the Hole in the Wall Gang as long as we are doing memes here and claiming that the Love Bower is the ruling metaphor of the Vineyard. Oh vive la diferance! All folks are welcome to join up– those xx chromosomes and, oh, those xy ones too!
Israel trying to stir the pot in the ME,and “subtly” threaten Iran at the same time:
” Israeli defense chief ‘wouldn’t be surprised if somebody assassinates Iranian president”
If I was in the Iranian government I’d comment it wouldn’t surprise me if “someone” assassinated Netanyahu as well.Its always best when dealing with Israel to remind them that two can play the same game when they need to.

Breitbart carrying Putin’s announcement that the Syrian chemical ‘ attack’ was a false flag, and more were planned.
The article elicited mostly agreement from the Deplorable commentariat, including this gem:
−
Andrew Richards 5 hours ago
‘
My hope now is that President Kuchner and his assistant, Donald Trump, will be removed before we are driven into a catastrophic escalation with Russia and China.
From the moment President Kuchner appointed his Goldman Sachs tribal buddies to key economic positions I realized we were in deep trouble. We had been conned. Then when Pres Kuchner appointed Tillerson, a crony corporate globalist (international fascist) to the Sec of State, the fix was confirmed.
MAGA supporters must find a way to refocus their hopes and efforts on Jeff Sessions. As far as I can tell, he is the only man in this Administration who has the track-record of a genuine, non-Zionist, MAGA politician.
We are in big trouble I fear. Three months in and the real President has now surfaced. President Kuchner and his criminal Zionist cabal want a war with Russia. Donald has been relegated to chief tea-maker.’
I’ve noticed the MSM had been calling the ‘ false flag’ claim a conspiracy theory, as well as characterising opposition to Trump’s missile attack as coming from the Alt/ Far right.
Those memes are proven demonstrably false – again.
Trump still pushing ‘ evil Assad’ meme, but backtracking on escalation:
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/04/11/president-trump-eases-tensions-were-not-going-into-syria/
Tillerson says tonight he has special people looking at war crimes against Assad…..any pressure possible is still being brought.And Rectify at UN today…..why on earth does not Russia totally discredit him as he was major participant in the WMD Iraq farce.
‘ Special people’ = AIPAC / Zionists.
I guess ‘ chosen ones’ is too obvious….
RT live at UN with Russ speaking reminds some of Litvinov at the League in the 1930’s…
He speaks, no one listens…
Then Russ gets tossed out of the UN? That’s what happened last time…

GOIN’ HOME
(Antonín Leopold Dvořák (m*) 1893 / William Arms Fisher (l*) 1922)
Deanna Durbin 1941
Also sung by:
Paul Robeson 1958
David Phelps
Sam Cooke
And many others…
The first set of lyrics (following) are from the film (Deanna Durbin sings to
Charles Laughton)
Goin’ home
Goin’ home
I’m a goin’ home
Quiet like, some still day
I’m just goin’ home.
It’s not far
Just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Goin’ to grieve no more.
Mother’s there, ‘spectin’ me
Father’s waitin’ there… (Durbin breaks down)
In one of her studio recordings of Goin’ Home, Durbin sings the following last
verse as:
Mother’s there, ‘spectin’ me
I’m a goin’ home
Quiet like, some still day
I’m just goin’ home.
The second set of lyrics (following) are from 1922 and thought by some to be the
original set of lyrics as published.
Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m a goin’ home;
Quiet-like, some still day, I’m jes’ goin’ home.
It’s not far, jes’ close by,
Through an open door;
Work all done, care laid by,
Goin’ to fear no more.
Mother’s there ‘spectin’ me,
Father’s waitin’ too;
Lots o’ folk gather’d there,
All the friends I knew,
All the friends I knew.
Home, I’m goin’ home!
Nothin lost, all’s gain,
No more fret nor pain,
No more stumblin’ on the way,
No more longin’ for the day,
Goin’ to roam no more!
Mornin’ star lights the way,
Res’less dream all done;
Shadows gone, break o’ day,
Real life jes’ begun.
There’s no break, there’s no end,
Jes’ a livin’ on;
Wide awake, with a smile
Goin’ on and on.
Goin’ home, goin’ home, I’m jes’ goin’ home,
goin’ home, goin’ home, goin’ home!
The third set of lyrics (following) are widely available on the Internet, a hymn
set to Dvořák’s Second movement.
Going home, going home
I’m just going home
Quiet-like, slip away
I’ll be going home.
It’s not far, just close by
Jesus is the Door
Work all done, laid aside
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now
He is waiting too
See His smile, See His hand
He will lead me through.
Morning Star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away
Pain and sickness gone
Wide awake there with Him
Peace goes on and on.
Going home, going home
I’ll be going home
See the light See the sun
I’m just going home.
It’s time for a ride through the week till Sunday night. The lights and planets
are all on board and earth is waiting for heaven to reflect it.
And on Friday it’s time for human origin:

If you want to see what a psychpath Trump is, just watch this short interview with the money honey Maria Bartilomo.
He chuckles over telling the Chinese Emperor over chocolate cake that he had just launched 50 something missiles at Syria. It’s too weird to be real, and yet it is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eSz8GM5hvM
That ‘ ten second pause’ from Xi before he responded to Trumpet’ s ‘ bombshell’ is telling.
The kind of ‘ pause’ the sane make when the realization they are dealing with a ‘ crazy’ kicks in…
The response was couched in carefully general terms, again, a tactic used to deflect the ‘ crazy’ s’ attention from the listener, and to let him believe he is ‘ right/ has ‘ won’.
Clearly Trump has tasted the power and is revelling in it.
Expect to hear a lot of ‘ God’ invocations a la George Bush in the future…
