” …Does Russia think that the US has al-Qaeda operatives at the highest and most secure levels of the U.S. government? That is a bit far-fetched, especially when there is a simpler and more plausible explanation.
The explanation is that al-Qaeda does not need operatives to get such information. The US has been strategically in bed with al-Qaeda, ISIS and their permutations for quite some time. US policy makers do not speak with a unified voice on this matter, but many – especially those of the neoconservative school of strategic policy – have cultivated the use of violent groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS as alternatives or supplements to the use of US forces on the ground.
Furthermore, many of the same policy makers were the ones who led the US into the disastrous wars in Iraq and Libya, and are committed to do the same in Syria. False flag operations and faulty intelligence are part of their stable, as they showed with their tall tales of WMD and Viagra-fueled black mercenaries. They have been influential in the US government since at least the Reagan administration, and groomed Hillary Clinton for the White House for decades.”

New update for former report of MIT professor Theodore A. Postol: CW case of Khan Shaykhun 4th of April, 2017.
http://m.truthdig.com/report/item/with_error_fixed_evidence_against_sarin_attack_remains_convincing_20170421
” It is now clear that the publicly available evidence shows exactly where the mass nerve agent poisoning would have occurred if in fact there was an event where significant numbers of people were poisoned by a nerve agent release. This does not rule out the possibility of a nerve agent release somewhere else in the city. However, this completely discredits the WHR’s claims that those who wrote the report knew where the nerve agent release occurred and that they knew the nerve agent release was the result of an airdropped munition.
There is a second issue that I have refrained from commenting on earlier in the hope that such a discussion would not be necessary.
The mainstream media is the engine of democracy. Without an independent media providing accurate and unbiased information to citizens, a government can do pretty much what it chooses without interference from the citizens who elected it. The critical function of the mainstream media in the current situation should be to report the facts that clearly and unambiguously contradict government claims.
This has so far not occurred, and this is perhaps the biggest indicator of how incapacitated the mechanisms for democratic governance of the United States have become.”
You are great!
Thanks for posting Theodore Postol’s update on the nerve gas attack. It would have escaped our notice.

Coup rumors in Indonesia?
” Islamic State-Linked Coup Against Indonesian President Is Backed by Trump Allies, Report Says ”

“…Fadli Zon serves as the right-hand man of the country’s most notorious mass-murdering general, Prabowo Subianto, who was defeated by Jokowi in the 2014 election.
Munarman, who has been videotaped at a ceremony in which a roomful of young men swear allegiance to ISIS and its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is also a corporate lawyer working for the Indonesian branch of the mining colossus Freeport McMoRan, now controlled by Carl Icahn, President Trump’s friend and deregulation adviser. Although the Trump connections appear to be very important for the coup plotters, it is unknown whether Trump or Icahn have any direct knowledge of the Indonesian coup movement.”

Hi friends,
There’s some useless noise being on the MSM on Russia’s ban on Jehovah Witness as extremist.
This link >>https://www.rt.com/news/385539-jehovah-witnesses-ban-russia/
While I know it’s part of an anti-extremism & anti-terror law to protect Russia, would anyone kindly refer me to an article that explains Russia’s position objectively ?….(i.e. the ban or restriction on Jehovah Witness). Thanks in advance!
“Jehovah’s witnesses are crazy assholes.” … signed, Me. I hope this helps.
They are a Western religious sect. And in some countries have been known to do work for the CIA (infiltrated). So I’m sure the last thing that Russia needs are more Western agents subverting Russian citizens to be anti-government. Russia needs unity today,not more division.
Its possible they, the jw preachers have no idea that their apples and androids feed straight back to nsa as they go converting swathes of russkis with US born again saved forever religious fervour.
I imagine the CIA likes dumb mules and trojan horses in any guise.
Uncle Bob,
When have Jehovah’s Witnesses worked for the CIA?
Where?
Jehovah’s Witnesses were mobbed and lynched during WWII in Quebec and the United States, while being persecuted by the fascists in Spain and Germany. Many were freed from Nazi concentration camps by Soviet troops at the end of the war, some only to end up in Soviet labor camps ten years later. All this persecution was received not for being anti-government. More correctly Jehovah’s Witnesses faced persecution and imprisonment simply for refusing to go to war. Their political neutrality all over the world through those years is a matter of historical fact. Russian JWs who were imprisoned during Soviet times were considered “rehabilitated persons” just like more famous prisoners like Solzhenitsyn.
The idea that Jehovah’s Witnesses (anywhere) are connected to Soros, the CIA, or some other 5th column plot to undermine the Russian Federation, Syria, or any other nation facing off against the Anglo-American Empire is completely false. They are simply living their belief that God’s Kingdom is no part of this world (John 18:36)
I read that before. It was a while back so I can’t name where. But I also remember that during the Soviet days there were rumors about that too. But I look at it using common sense. Those people go to many different countries and interact among the populace in those countries.As we know the CIA works with NGO’s Worldwide to infiltrate their agents into other countries. The CIA infiltrating agents into the Jehovah’s Witnesses would be a great move for them. So I have little doubt that they do it. I’don’t believe most of the people in the movement (true believers) have anything to do with the CIA. But that the CIA would try and insert agents into a country through them is a no-brainer. Its well known that the CIA has used other religious groups,journalists,doctors,pretty much any type of NGO group to infiltrate a nation they want to spy on.I see no reason to think the stories I heard would be untrue.And that they wouldn’t do that with the Jehovah’s Witnesses.We are talking about the CIA here. Not a organization known for having any honor.Nor morals about using people for what they want.
The Jehovah Witnesses is a cult. Like other cults, the violence is turned inward against its unfortunate members.
This is from one Zerohedge comment
“Care to let us in on exactly what the JWs did that the Russian government classified as extremist?
Some of the specifics appear to include exercising total control over all details of members’ lives, prohibiting blood transfusions for its members in defiance of doctors’ recommendations, defiance of government institutions and civic duties, refusal to serve in the army, etcetera. The big one, though, seems to be the expectation that members be hostile against all those who do not recognize JW teachings, thus inciting religious enmity.

If you read much zerohedge, you know the comments section is sometimes more useful than the original article, although most comments are the usual internet sludge. I first learned about Vineyard of the Saker and Fort Russ from Zerohedge comments which gave the links.
JW’s were founded by Charles Taze Russell, yes a descendant of the same Russells who sold opium, appropriated church lands confiscated in England, etc, for what that’s worth. But this sort of thing is nothing new. If I am not mistaken, even in the Yeltsin years the Russians weren’t excited about American Protestant proselyting and passed laws.
A couple of thoughts on the march for science.
Yesterday, researchers and scientists gathered in several hundred cities worldwide in support of free public education and research. These marches for science were inspired by the selective defunding of science by the new US administration and by the growing skepticism, if not outright denial, of scientific results in growing parts of populations. As I share the concern of my peers that the cultural environment might become hostile towards scientists and research, I participated in the march for science in Göttingen, Germany.
Science is about observing and interpreting phenomena to establish underlying principles. An underlying principle is searched by (1) crafting a hypothesis (assumption); by (2) making predictions of observations relying on this hypothesis; and by (3) comparing these predictions with observations (measurements). If the hypothesis fails to predict the outcome, it is rejected and the search starts anew. If the hypothesis correctly describes the observations, it is eventually accepted as true and called thesis/theory. Science constantly seeks to disprove theories by verifying them against new observations.
Any theory reflects the current state of ignorance. New findings either corroborate the theory or make it necessary to improve it. This mechanism is at the heart of scientific progress. Scientific progress must be and is driven by rationale and not by emotions. This begs the question where does the hostility/hatred sneak in? Let me pick two examples: anthropogenic global warming and the destruction of the world trade center.
Anthropogenic global warming
Anthropogenic global warming postulates that the observed local climate changes reflect an increase in global surface temperature that is caused in a sizable fraction by human activity.
The weather in many inhabited regions was monitored for centuries already. Long-term monitoring of the weather, notes by contemporary people and archaeological research allow us to establish the local climate for the past centuries and millenniums. These observations and findings leave little doubt that in the vast majority of regions the climate got warmer than it has been for centuries.
About a century ago scientists started recording weather data on a global scale in order to study the climate in all regions of the earth. This research was boosted by satellite technology for the past five decades. There exists abundant proof that the average global surface temperature increased, most pronouncedly in the high latitudes (pole regions).
We know that the burning of fossil fuels increases the carbon dioxide concentration in our atmosphere. There are solid indications that an increase in CO2 and other gases increases the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere, which leads to an overall warmer climate.
It is scientific consensus that global warming is taking place and that it is partially caused by human activity. Whereas scientists discuss these effects on the future climate in order to grasp the potential impact on humanity, the populace at large entered denial mode. Denying our impact on the climate seems a quick fix of bad conscious to move on without changing habits. It is funny to observe this behavior now, when people can use Google earth or similar software to inspect our planet in unprecedented detail. See for instance the hundreds of small water pools on the glaciers east of Mount Everest for yourself:
https://www.google.de/maps/@27.8796462,87.1801044,17729a,35y,299.65h,47.7t/data=!3m1!1e3
Have a look at the traces the glaciers left. Just a couple decades ago they were hundreds of meters thicker and miles longer than today. And it looks alike in all places I inspected so far.
Destruction of the world trade center
Due to its impact on global policy I keep coming back to 9/11. Unforgotten are the images of the impact of the second plane entering the tower of the world trade center. Unforgotten are my astonishment, my first thoughts and the bad taste that the increasingly screwed reporting left behind. Unforgotten is the obviously controlled demolition of building 7 when it came down.
Meanwhile, detailed videos showing the two main towers and building 7 exploding and crashing down are found on Youtube. The videos, dust samples and eyewitness accounts proof beyond any doubt that all three towers were torn apart in controlled demolitions on 9/11.
Conclusions
We, everyone of us, have to bring up the veracity to state problems as truthfully as possible in order to come up with real solutions. The denial of global warming is scientific dishonesty, but the acceptance of the official 9/11 fairy tale is scientific dishonesty and civic cowardice as well. In both cases it seems to me that people try to escape the consequences of staring the beast in the eyes.
To me the assessment of 9/11 is the litmus test for civic courage and scientific honesty. To my great regret, fellow researchers avoid speaking out publicly on 9/11 as I do this since 9/12. If scientists do not speak truth to power in such important geopolitical matters, why should they be trusted in other matters?
For this reason, I think that science will be distrusted – to some extend rightfully so – as long as researchers bury the veracity out of fear of what-you-have-not.
The WTC false flag demolition was the equivalent of the Pearl Harbor (false ‘forced’ flag attack).
Both were manufactured excuses for war but since WW2 the US has stopped declaring wars. They simply indulge in them.
We have been in WW3 since the WTC demolition.
Luckily China and Russia (and parts of Europe and Japan) are refusing to participate.
Japan resisting participating in international war? Sorry no, that changed in 2015 from post-WW2 “defense only” back to expeditionary, no doubt at US insistence. The peace movements of Japan protested, but to no avail.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-34287362
The “parts” of the Europe resisting the US/NATO/Zionist drive to WW3 must be very small…
As long the policy makers are on the drive, the science will not have free hands. The politicians are not scientists, they are players and they play always with the power. If science stays in their way, they simply ignore them – in the best case – or else…
Politicians do what the large majority of the populace forces them to do. Without truthful information, the public stays ignorant. This means for scientists who stay silent that their exquisite science is worth very little / likely has zero effect.
In this new cafe baseball game, Frankie the lead-off hitter of two comments got a single and stole second base as lead-offs are designed to do.
ioan reran to first on a ground ball to short with his link to Bro’s comment in the penultimate position at the last cafe but Frankie was forced back to second by the shortstop’s hand fake with the result that ioan made it safely to first.
The third batter, Bro, bunted to advance the runners and just beat the throw to first to load the bases.
The heavy hitter in the fourth position, teranam 13, hit a home run and cleared the bases with the Death Star on the Golan Heights hit that was not heard around the world due to a sudden power outage in New York.
I am the ninth hitter who has not come to bat at this cafe. However, I did bat last at the last cafe (as of this time) as the 121st comment. Unfortunately, I was called out with a third strike. What the press failed to report was the power outage that happened as the ball just left the pitcher’s hand and that the umpire was guessing in the dark. The Love Army intelligence informs me that the ball just missed the lower outside corner so I feel I did my job as the ninth hitter in the lineup which is to get a walk if possible.
In all seriousness, in coming right after Bro, I believe I answered his analytic question. I identified the cause of evil’s greatest spawn, war; and for that I feel I can go on now with my day in peace–the kind of peace that stops war in word and deed. Love you all, Dennis

The whirling internet ; maelstrom of our time is getting to me, seriously…someone let that woman off! “if you come upon her, then the god who makes the earth tremble could not save you.”
“The opposite point seems more a tongue of land
you’d touch with a good bowshot, at the narrow.
A great wild fig, a shaggy mass of leaves,
grows on it, and Charybdis lurks below
to swallow down the dark sea tide. Three times
from dawn to dusk she spews it up
and sucks it down again three times, a whirling
maelstrom; if you come upon her then
the god who makes the earth tremble could not save you.”
(Odyssey, 212; 119-127)
Stop Stop Stop!!! – https://youtu.be/to2cze58R5E
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go, ting a ling a linging
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just-a-like-a tear drops
Running from her head
Now she dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake, her body fascinates me
I can’t look away now
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I’ll have to leave
Now, she’s moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer, closer, she is getting nearer
Soon she’ll be in reach
As I enter into a spotlight
She stands lost for speech
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I’ll have to leave
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I’ll have to leave
Now I hold her, people are staring
Don’t know what to think
And we struggle knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can’t they understand that I want her?
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop, stop, stop all the dancing
Or I’ll have to leave, leave
Lyrics, The Hollies
I could not leave this gripping tale. The sexual revolution is all about control by the not-to-be named as a distraction from their plans to subjugate the world. Ironically, this dancer also portrays the dance of life which in our times has been corrupted to the dance of lust. Behind even that is the dance of love. Thanks.

Thanks, JJ. I appreciate the encouragement. Keep dreaming big!
The first tour of the French elections is over. According to polls : Emanuel Macron 23,7% : Marine Le Pen 22,7% : Jean-Luc Melenchon 19,5% : Francois Fillon 19,5% . That means – in my opinion – that the next tour will be won by Macron and he will be the next French president. With Macron as president, the ties between Macron and Merkel will increase, as well as the stance against Russia. If Macron will be president, the chances for Merkel in the vote in September will increase a lot more, neither other German party will have any chance against her. Then, we will witness a stronger, united Europe and of course NATO. The pressure on Putin’s Russia will also increase dramatically. Just now, live on the french TV channel France 24, Fancois Fillon is asking his voters to vote for Macron. We can now, say, Macron is the new president of France. This was by the way to be expected, nice play with a French “rafinesse”. What remains ? …good luck Europe !
It’s far too early to give up hope for France and the rest of Europe.
Let me list some reasons.
1. The Eurocrats have absolutely no intention and no contingency plans to back down in the face of increasingly impossible circumstances. It appears the fake politicians are all hoping to catch the last helicopters off the roof of the US embassy in Brussels (like Saigon 42 years ago to the week), and are expecting cozy retirements elsewhere in the empire. They are insane. History shows the empire does not practice gratitude towards its former puppets.
2. Macron does not have – and even with all the Rothschild money probably can’t get fast enough – candidates for the June 2017 elections. I have not seen anything about Macron preparing this, but I must admit I could have missed it. Does anyone else know ? In the last 55 years, France has never had a legislature of one party and a president of another. But that possibility is wide open.
3. This was always a long term-struggle. If Macron wins and then is the same 100% sh*thead as he was in the Socialist cabinet, then his presidency might not last all five years. I keep expecting the elites to back off and fix some of their more outstanding mistakes, but actually this set of elites have never done that. If Macron sticks to a 100% anti-Russia and 100% pro-Rothschild, pro-Empire stance, then he is 100% against French workers and farmers, so he is asking for big trouble. Farmers are going broke on a large scale and committing suicide on almost as large a scale. At some point this becomes an “anything can happen” tipping point for rural France. On the first round, LePen did much better away from Paris, where she only got 5% of the vote.
4. Merkel is quite vulnerable and might be booted out in the Sept. 24th election. German businesses are strategically damaged by the sanctions and face losing the Russian market entirely to Chinese companies if there is no hope of lifting the sanctions.
5. People are slowly waking up all over Europe. The quality of conversation you can have with the average French or German is much better now than 5 years ago. Even if crooked judges were to send the famous French dissident, Alain Soral, to prison on trumped-up charges, the French dissident movement has reached a size where it can’t be silenced. People everywhere in Europe and the US have become more articulate about Jewish supremacy, while the bogus part of anti-semitism has lost some of its terror factor.
6. The truth about western support for al-Qaeda has finally become undeniable. You can even see an appeal to support the terrorists in the editorial page of the New York Times. All the anger that was channeled against the elites’ pawns is now being re-channeled against those elites.
7. The internet continues to improve and people continue to disconnect from the Lügenpresse all over the world.
8. The economic strength of the US continues to decline thanks to our own (((elite))) while the strength of the BRICS continues to rise. Keep in mind that we are discussing events on a very large scale, and for the world, 10 or 20 years is really a very short time.
9. Over the last 10 years, the stupid rulers of the empire have caused Russia China and Iran to become welded together. Trump and his part of the US deep state must have hoped they could detach Russia or China, but it’s far too late for that.
@Cosimo. | 7. The internet continues to improve and people continue to disconnect from the Lügenpresse all over the world.
True.
This Breitbart article is rubbish. What IS interesting is the first dozen or so comments.

The commentators GET it – there was no sarin “attack”, and they challenge narrative after narrative from today back to 9/11 to Gulf of Tonkin to JFK.
That so many commentators on a site such as Breitbart are “awake” caused me some small measure of optimism.
First was Austria then Holland. I hope you are right Cosimo.

Waiter ! please give me something strong to drink,…what you wish cause I have to think. To think about a Man, cause I’m his fan, and try to understand where his thoughts now stand :
One Man
One Man in power, shall remain alone,
He is not happy, his soul is sad at home,
The world does not listen to him, that’s bad
The world turns his back, the world is mad.
Playing one more chess or taking a decision,
Can his shoulders bare more on his mission ?
The pressure is mounting,
The enemies are hunting,
The traitors are more clever
And getting stronger than ever.
Nothing has changed in better, moreover in worst
People have played the game, playing with a ghost.
The ghost has a name, almost everybody knows it,
Surprisingly, even they who know it, accept the hit.
What will do the Man, with traitors and all hypocrisy,
Will he turn the other cheek, will he give angelic mercy ?
If somebody may think, it’s not about trump.
It’s Anyman, Everyman, the truth teller who walk’s the path of the sorrow of our time and is acquainted with the grief of our time. Whether he will ‘turn the other cheek’ at the final reckoning is the crux of the matter and a good question.
There is good and bad news coming out of France today. Interestingly enough its in the same piece of news. So far the leader ,by a couple of points in the French Presidential election’s 1st round ,is Macron the globalist stooge. While Le Pen the candidate that promised a France for the French is second. Meaning, if the results continue as is, they will face each other in the 2nd round of the election.Despite all the hopes that many, including we here, had. The results are just as most experts predicted. Except some thought Le Pen would lead the vote instead of being second.The results for the 2nd round are almost certain to elect the stooge Macron as President for a “Hollande part 2” administration in France.
So then why did I say “good and bad news”. It would seem to be all bad? It’s simple,Macron will lead France to national suicide. And France will finally disappear as a free state. And just become another zombie of the US’s. Much as the UK has become.That would be the “bad news” part .
The good news is that we can wake up (if we will) and stop the foolish thinking that “elections” in the West will free them.
How we gushed over the Greek election.That was going to take Greece out of the EU,make them friends with Russia,save the Greek people from the IMF. None of that happened. Syriza ended by betraying all our hopes,and selling out the Greek people. Then it was going to be the Austrian elections that brought change,nope another failure.Then it was Brexit that was going to change things. The vote did nothing. We have May coasting towards victory.Carrying with her all the most vile British Russophobes. Next it was Trump. He was “the man” he was going to make good relations with Russia. Get the US out of trying to dominate the World. Stop the interfering in other countries. Less than 100 days,and he sold out to the neo-con warmongers. He bombs Syria,possibly will invade. He’s eye-ball to eye-ball with NK ,wanting to attack them.Probably our worse failure in hoping for change (change for the better,than is). Now we turned our hopes to France and Le Pen. And we are ,to say the least “disappointed” once more. And in case anyone dares to say “Merkel”. Her party has a hefty lead in the coming election there already.So more than likely that’s another “no go”.
I know the saying is “hope springs eternal”,but “c’mon now” isn’t it time to wake up from the dreamworld and face facts. The “empire” has total control of the West. No form of “election” in the West will bring change. The US and their Western stooges “own” the media and 90% of the informational output there.The leaders there have the same globalist view of the World. And they aren’t going to allow any “election” to change that. They will use the MSM, fake fear of Russia,and undreamed of sums of money,to assure their hold on power. That is just a plain fact. So there is the real good news. We can stop the foolishness of “hoping” that that will change with an election.
So what can be done about that situation? Actually there is very little “we” can do about it. We can just not let ourselves be fooled by the West as individuals.Be aware of what’s happening around us. But that isn’t true for Russia (and China). There is a lot they, can do,should do,”must” do,if they hope to survive. Someone in the government needs to pull out a map. And say “these countries are lost for now” and mark them. And decide that the ones not lost,won’t be lost.Even to the extent of fighting for them.Russia in particular needs to mark those countries in Central Asia,Ukraine and Belarus,Azerbaijan, Georgia,Armenia,Syria,and Iran. And the Russian leadership say these are the “red-lines”.No matter what needs to be done,up to and including war,these will not fall to the “empire”. China should aid with the Central Asian ones,and add Mongolia,Taiwan,and North Korea to their own list. The rest of the countries should be considered “in play” until one side or the other gains their allegiance. And do away with the thinking that the enemies can become your friends. Try realism,and admit you can’t trust any country not marked on that map as a friend.Stop letting the US have the upper hand,and reacting to “their” attacks. Defense is only a viable option at the end.When you are cornered with no other choice but defense. Start turning the news from “bad to good” in the World.

I don’t mean to be so ironic,
But I do love that theme, iconic!
We, mentally challenged bigot believers have our answers from the Book:
Psalms 146:3
“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”
But who am I, to challenge the brilliance of thoughts of some evolutionary brains here (not meaning necessarily you, Uncle Bob 1). I also realized that the fellow citizens of this planet, who came here by the Evolution Express, often believe in the Change by Revolution (can be mental or physical or whatever). If I take your logic, my fellow co-inhabitants, what about simply giving up and “let’s wait and see”, what will be the natural outcome of our current situation (geopolitical, social, cultural, etc etc)?
Is anyone here expecting any meaningful result of any elections? Really? Still believing? Based on what? Hope? Then why don’t you become a Christian. We also believe based on hope. But our Hope is beyond this 3D biological simulacrum and beyond Time (the enslaving prison Cube of Chronos).
Anyway, all the best to all true Reason followers (not believers, as that would be an oxymoron)… :)
Very good thoughts from you Rublev, I always enjoy your way of thinking.

The UN Commission on Women has elected Saudi Arabia to that commission. Yes,you read that right,”Saudi Arabia” to be on a women’s rights commission. Really,that is so crazy I couldn’t make it up. People would have never believed me. In a “secret vote” they were elected to the commission. But here is the most interesting part. To have gotten on the commission “5” EU nations would have needed to have voted for them. Of course since it was a secret vote we may never know which 5. But here are the list of EU nations voting.I’m really curious which of them are in the “stupid 5”:
Belgium?
Czech?
Estonia?
Finland?
France?
Germany?
Greece?
Ireland?
Italy?
Portugal?
Sweden?
UK?

It helps to understand German, but the English translation is ok.
Take a look. This could have been my country in my youth. No big difference. Not a foreinger in sight. A socialist country. A happy youth. Germany should have been reunited from the East. That would have stopped the oligarchs.
This message from Sassnitz is aimed at a lost friend, but many others can understand it, no matter what languages they speak. Take a look at the Sovjet greeting. This is not Spanish “termina la vida” or some French expressions I could name. It is hope and life.
OK Russia watchers and experts: What is this all about?
Courtesy of Novaya Gazeta
As noted by experienced Kremlin watcher, Paul Goble, the Kremlin has imposed a media blackout on what has become a nationwide work action affecting 80 federal districts. The trucker strike threatens Russia’s wobbly economic recovery and is expected to drive up consumer prices.
As in November of 2015, the Western media has largely ignored the first nationwide industrial action undertaken by a key branch of the Russian economy. The Putin administration is flummoxed. Unlike the one-day nationwide political demonstrations of March 26, the trucker strike (which began one day later) is a slow bleed for the Kremlin, which it cannot staunch. The trucker strike lacks a central organization or a leader who could be arrested (like Aleksei Navalny in the political strike). It is not a political action, and it seems to be supported by sympathetic locals. The strikers are asking embarrassing questions about how the road taxes are being gathered and spent. There are no demonstrations, only truckers in their large cabs, gathering in the streets or in parking lots, well behaved, grilling food and avoiding drunken behavior. The police and OMON riot militia stand by helplessly. There are no leaders to arrest and no disorderly conduct to punish.
The strikers claim they are under no economic pressure to end their strike. With the new April 15 tax rate, they calculate that they will lose money by operating their businesses. In effect, they have nothing to lose by continuing their strike.
Seems to be exactly what the article says: a local strike which the government will hope to resolve amicably, and prevent from spreading by muting media coverage.
This is already a very common thing in China. Chinese factory workers are constantly starting protests, and it is never prominently covered in the West because they usually are able to renegotiate without issue. Google “China labor protest” or “china worker protest” and you will find many examples.
“Russia’s wobbly economic recovery” ???
Like all 5th Column propaganda, this should be taken with a couple pounds of salt… or more like Goble should be told to go pound salt.

Kent
Good morning. On my way here I stopped at the new Orthodox history site. I am now on page 8 which is just great.
I read through the comments thus far. teranam 13’s report on the trucker strike in Russia reveals Russia’s seemy side. It doesn’t say if the empire is somehow behind it but there’s no evidence for that. It’s worrying nevertheless.
I read Pepe’s and Peter’s worrying about Trump and all the Trump worry-warts here. No need to worry or hurry to judgement. The Love Army is using Trump to give us what we have asked for: to stop the war on Russia.
Trump is being used by the Anglo deep state to put the Zionist deep state in their place. It and Trump have already given us a great gift in defeating Hillary and the Clinton machine. The Soros block is the next to be taken down.
Trump is holding his enemies close. He’s setting up a deal they can’t refuse. I know you don’t like his tough kind of love but he’s in a tough spot. He can’t act weak or he’ll be dead. He’s got to hold back his trump and bluff with pawns. His skills have been honed by dealing with the Mafia of all types, including the Jews. With his family he’s holding them very close.
The tender-hearted don’t understand the collateral damage necessary to avoid a much more colossal defeat. It’s regrettable but in the world of casinos and hotel california’s it’s a New York street fight.
Putin and Trump are on the same page, dancing with devils where one false move lands you in hell. Trump is playing both sides from the middle of the ring. Sure, his handlers are part of the deep state–but the business side, not the crazies in the basement side.
The Zionists are bent on taking over the world. Russia stands in their way. They don’t know it yet but so does Trump. Trump is both Anglo and Jew but he is not Zionist. For the time being in order to survive, he has to bluff and pretend that he isn’t what he is.. If it means dropping a moab (with Russia’s “look the other way” play-along, it’s a small price to pay for a nuclear moab war a million times worse.
If Trump saber waves at North Korea, he’s colluding with China which is doing the same in a more displomatic way. If he placates Israel and Saudi Arabia at Yemen’s expense, it’s part of the art of the deal and the art of war by Sun Tzu. If he plays “good cop, bad cop” with Putin, he’s misdirecting the misdirections.
And he is keeping his promises as well as he can at this stage of the game, surrounded by Iago’s and Judas’s as he is. A supreme court justice is a case in point. There are many other instances going on behind the scenes and behind the poker faces in the mirror.
There is a war of worlds going down, a clash of civilizations and a reckoning of ancient karma. Today it is taking the form of Jerusalem Jews against Roman Anglos. It’s an Armageddon battle between Christianity and Talmud-insanity; only now the Temple is gone and the Book enthroned, with itching fingers to restore the Temple sacrifices and Books on the ground for everyone.
The Romans destroyed the Jewish temple in 70 AD. They destroyed the Jewish nation in 135 AD. Do you think the Jews ever forget anything, much less their humiliating defeat? Do you think they do not seek revenge? Do you think the chaos now is not intended to destroy western Roman based civilization and to initiate Greater Israel Patriarchy on a world wide basis?
Do you think the Anglos, the richest ones on earth, are going to sit idly by, awaiting their destruction? Do you think that they are not going to use Trump as the Jews used the Clintons and the Bolsheviks and Napoleon and Hitler and Marx and the French Revolution and the Sexual Revolution and war after war after war to troll and control?
From the Love Government, Love Army and Love Bower point of view, this war to end all wars is between Loverarchy and Evilarchy. Love will win in the end but in the meantime there may be hell to pay. Trump is being used to trump the empire. We don’t like it because it offends our snowflake sensibilities.
Have we forgotten the facts of history? Have we been brainwashed by the Father of Lies? Have we forgotten that the Man who started a whole new calendar was crucified horribly at the instigation of the Jews who used the Romans to do their dirty work, as they use terrorists today?
Are we so blind that we cannot see? Of course, Trump can fail. He can be killed. He could betray his supporters, contrary to his promise never to do that. Anything is possible, and how would we know anyway if we are not Trump ourselves? Or do we believe the lying media who have never once told the whole truth?
I could be wrong. Pepe and Peter could be right. You could be right about Trump. I could be a fool. But I’d be a bigger fool and a tool of empire if I didn’t question the zionist zeitgeist of war. I have many questions about the narrative that is in our faces 24/7. I suspect it’s one big lie told over and over to the tune of Goebbels, Bernays and Freud, among thousands of others.
I need an alternative meta-narrative like this vineyard needs an Orthodox History. At least we have somewhere to start, even though we have to question and develop that. If we do not develop, we die on the vine. If we do not cling to the lifeline of freedom of speech, we will drown in a sea of lies.
I’m going out on a limb with Trump. The branch may break. They doesn’t mean that the tree will fall or that we were wrong. It just means that the limb broke which could be an awakening in itself. We just do not know. That’s why love is greater than knowledge as Saint Paul moved, the Apostles and Fathers seconded and Orthodoxy voted in favor of.
It’s now past 5 am, a rooster is crowing like the one foretold of old and the darkness still holds back the light. I got up at 3 am and made the rounds of the lover’s shrine and the sacred geometric art pieces out under the stars, and then came here to talk with ancient lovers in this cafe of dreams. Allow me to close this holy chant with another poem from this week’s love calendar.
It has the theme of “Dream.” It’s a 21 line salute to the dream within:
Gateway to the greater game
Benediction in your name
Mistress of the psychic sphere
Behind a veil you disappear
A special language all your own
Keeps you covered and unknown
Play with you is lots of fun
You’re always shifting on the run
You don’t miss a thing they say
It’s all recorded in some way
A vast experiential reservoir
For the lover’s repertoire
Like the mirror on the wall
You speak in fabled metaphor
At your best you create allusion
At your worst produce delusion
In between you sow illusion
Through your labyrinth I tread
Holding to a lovscious thread
Symbol, myth, dream and story
Lift me up to unveiled glory
Love, Dennis
@ Dennis–“a lovscious thread” Better the careful knit to make your creation than making it of the whole cloth, so keep up with the fabled metaphor and poetic repertoire.
Seems as if the world is more like in a Mexican stand off than in a New York street fight though.
We of the Hole in the Wall Gang however are sleeping late—sorry, been up all night marauding.
an armfull of springflowers of a great thinker and poet
Hi Dennis, your poetry is good, really appreciate it, the love bower is not on my inner taste all the way. where is your humor , probably it goes down like my mother’s, probably my own humor will have the same fate, laughing at the gate. At the gate of heaven, there are lots of wardens, keeping us for enter that place, keeping us out of the grace. Keep your dream old boy, cause it’s a good toy, play the ground all around, tell the stories till abound. Politics ? no thanks, there is war and tanks, by geography, accordingly. Keep the love and keep the Bower, till the next atomic shower. I’m swimming in other skivvies, much more sad, militant and bad. What could I tell is much more than I could share.
Dear Dennis Leary, Thank you.
Grateful your words are here.
Is your inner child wandering lost in a world gone mad?

Fear City
An epic, riveting history of New York City on the edge of disaster―and an anatomy of the austerity politics that continue to shape the world today
When the news broke in 1975 that New York City was on the brink of fiscal collapse, few believed it was possible. How could the country’s largest metropolis fail? How could the capital of the financial world go bankrupt? Yet the city was indeed billions of dollars in the red, with no way to pay back its debts. Bankers and politicians alike seized upon the situation as evidence that social liberalism, which New York famously exemplified, was unworkable. The city had to slash services, freeze wages, and fire thousands of workers, they insisted, or financial apocalypse would ensue.
In this vivid account, historian Kim Phillips-Fein tells the remarkable story of the crisis that engulfed the city. With unions and ordinary citizens refusing to accept retrenchment, the budget crunch became a struggle over the soul of New York, pitting fundamentally opposing visions of the city against each other. Drawing on never-before-used archival sources and interviews with key players in the crisis, Fear City shows how the brush with bankruptcy permanently transformed New York―and reshaped ideas about government across America.
At once a sweeping history of some of the most tumultuous times in New York’s past, a gripping narrative of last-minute machinations and backroom deals, and an origin story of the politics of austerity, Fear City is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the resurgent fiscal conservatism of today.

re: map
Is it California broken off by earthquake or by an ordered fiat from Gov. moonbeam-snowflake?
Is it the tattered remains of a long lost prophecy of end times?
Or was oil discovered off the coast and thus missile strikes ordered to save the endangered musk oxen and to secure the people of B.C. by separating it from its oppressive home country?
Seems as if the fog of Neptune has crept into all minds ….
In the Saker’s interview with Sheikh Imram Hossein, the Saker states that the head of the Russian central bank was recently hailed as “Banker of the Year”. That banker was E.Nabiullina, a woman = https://www.rt.com/politics/372678-award-nabiullina-russia-inflation/
and not a man as the Saker says at 14.05 in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb8W0BRPgb8
Just saying.
Anyway, is the Russian Central Bank controlled by Rothschild? Anybody knows?
@christineG.
Yes. Central bank installed “nano-seconds” after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Central banks for all former soviets.
You may want too dear, that Syria and North Korea and Iran remain I think the final 3 without a controlled central bank. The “pace” to get these 3 to capitulate seems to be quickening.
….. I remember reading on (what I considered then a really strange/weird/whacko conspiracy site about how and why all nations needed a controlled central bank before “they” could move to the next stage of world ownership. At the time I did not know then what I know now, so I read it for amusement, LOLed, and clicked away. I wish I could find the site again, I have no idea what it was called. (It’s probably memory-holed now … And it was amateur – all reds, yellows and purples and flashing script- horrendous!!)
In hindsight, I realise now it contained some really important info explaining a “timeline” that seems to exist.
From memory the reasons the timeline for control exists, and needs to be implemented, seems to be astrological and eschatological. Which at the time I thought absurd.
Now that only 3 countries remain to capitulate, I’d like to find the site again to see how closely events have followed the script. Given I know so much more now, I’d be less inclined to just laugh and click on….
Your article ‘memory-holed’ sounds rather interesting. Perhaps it will resurface in a new form, incarnation – ha! What aboutery religion, spirituality, dominion, false profiteering, false prophets and erm, politics???
Courtesy of the brilliance of evolutionary brains, or whatever it was or is, a fair few awesome cafe commentary plus elsewhere on Saker’s on this theme and related.

Key parts of article
Turkey -Russia relations
Russia’s continued strategy of blocking the full normalization process with Turkey is an open message to Ankara that it can further target its weakest points, particularly tourism and trade. It is now clear that the relationship between Turkey and Russia will not return to the level it was at before Nov. 24, 2015, as conditions will not allow either side to pursue a more pragmatic option when it comes to business and trade.
April/22/2017 relationship with Russia
Hopes were high for Erdoğan-Puting meeting in March but it has not produced any concrete results. It has been announced that the two leaders will come together again on May 3 in Sochi to discuss both regional issues and lingering bilateral problems.
Although Putin promised in March, Moscow has not taken any steps to ease visa procedures for service passport holders and Turkish businessmen, as well as removing restrictions for Turkish companies to employ Turkish nationals in their investments in Russian territories.
Since the normalization process began, Russiaremoved sanctions on only nine agricultural products out of 23, while strict restrictions on the export of tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. are still in place. Turkish agricultural exporters are suffering hundreds of millions dollars in losses due to ongoing sanctions.
However, worse may come. Russian air companies have been urged that charter flights to Turkey could be stopped due to probable security and instability problems in the country, in a clear sign and warning to Ankara that the Russian tourist flow may stop in the coming days.
Turkey rushed to deploy a high-level delegation under Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Şimşek to Moscow right after the referendum in Turkey but it did not help resolve bilateral economic problems.
Russia’s continued strategy of blocking the full normalization process with Turkey is an open message to Ankara that it can further target its weakest points, particularly tourism and trade.

Article about Russophobia
http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/2017/May/41/5/magazine/article/10838495/
Article called “confronting Russophobia”
Srdja Trifkovic
That is an excellent article.
Two extremely ominous events being reported on today.
One, Trump hosted a meeting with UNSC ambassadors at the White House. Where he called on them to sanction NK even more. Now let this sink in a minute for the full meaning of it. Like a “World Emperor” Trump called the UNSC ambassadors to come to him for a meeting to tell them what he wanted them to do.And they came to that meeting.Its unbelievable that like feudal vassals the ambassadors to the UN (not the US) would leave NY at his call and come hat in hand to him.That shows extremely bad thinking from Russia and China in doing that.
https://www.rt.com/usa/386010-trump-unsc-north-korea-sanctions/
The second story is even worse. Trump is having a meeting Wednesday with the entire US Senate at the White House about NK. With his State Dept. and military chiefs briefing the US Senate on NK. This comes after,reportedly, Chinese President XI called for restraint on “both sides” over the US provoked Korean Crisis. Is this the prelude to strikes on NK? Or a call for war? Or is it just more theater? If it is any of those,what will be the reaction from NK,or from China.There is also the slim possibility it could be Trump hoping the US Senate will object to war. And call on him to not attack. Considering the neo-con control in the US Senate I think that is hardly likely. But who knows.Maybe they will just make some kind of joint statement calling on the NK’s to “behave”. But again,seeing the insanity in the US regime,it has an ominous feel to it. Also,how do we know the talk is only going to be on NK. That could be a cover for discussing aggression against Syria as well. Even more of an ominous feel appears from the thought about this meeting.
http://theduran.com/senate-white-house-north-korea-war/
Hence my post re Uk can do a pre-emptive nuke strike if they wish…note this am Trump saying UN is not working properly, unable to deal with global issues—-eerrrmm, apart from VVP saying this coupla years ago, so in corporate speak, surely this means he would either declare it bankrupt ready for dispersal of assets, or due for a corporate take over, ie continuing the “exceptionalism’ and readiness to act without require UN Resolutions , just like before…etc
“Clairvoyant Goratsio Villegas has claimed that he has become aware of the start date of a nuclear war. This was reported by the British tabloid Daily Star.
The publication stresses that Villegas, back in 2015, predicted that Donald Trump will win the US presidential election and become the “King of the Illuminati,” which “will bring about World War III.”
The clairvoyant reminded the newspaper that he also predicted an “attack” on Syria by Donald Trump. “And just a few days ago, the Catholic clairvoyant, who lives in Texas, had a vision: he saw balls of fire falling from the sky and hitting the ground,” – said the Daily Star.
Villegas stated that World War III will begin May 13, 2017, in the 100-year anniversary of the last apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal. The war will be over in the same year, according to him, on October 13 – “but for many, it will be for many too late.”

That’s right PAJ, everything changed. Even synchronicity, which became syncrosexity.
But what’s to worry about?? We lead the world in innovation in the technologies that really count! Transgender ones!

That is, if he can get himself there May 14 and 15.
“With another telephone discussion Sunday on peace on the Korean Peninsula, the dialogue between President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping is taking on a world-leading importance, understood by leading Chinese figures but obscured in the Atlantic region by British demands for war confrontations.
Xi has proposed, and Trump agreed, that the two have regular conversations and an early visit by Trump to China for a second summit meeting. This is the crucial collaboration for the first American President in a century to discuss returning to Alexander Hamilton’s and Lincoln’s “American System of economy,” which defied the British Empire and made the United States the world’s leading industrial nation.
China’s “Economic Belt and Road Initiative” is driving world economic growth and truly benefiting the 60 other nations participating, putting modern infrastructure into their economies and creating productive employment. This is what Trump wants to do.”
I am caught in a tug of war between the Transgender Blues (and the Black Humor indulgence of laughing about it!) your and Dennis’ Hopium Den Cafe optimism based on the stars and other mystical elements nice try and I are trying to quantify, and the above site which has outlasted any one I know of on planet earth in relentless, untiring pursuit of silver linings behind the darkest storm clouds.
Oh, here’s the 60 sec video to use to get Trump to Beijing May 14-15

“President Trump, go to Beijing May 14-15 to build infrastructure!”
The Moderators at the RSS newsfeed are doing a great job….thanks.
On the left of your screen and to the right of Ivanka Trump is what looks like arch-russophobe Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s undiplomatic Minister of Foreign Affairs and who, according to some, covets the Prime Minister role. Certainly she would then be in a better position to precipitate war with Russia, although she is doing fairly well in that respect right now.
From the video, Vassal to the Hegemon vigorous noddy demonstration is in progress; only a wart on the nose is lacking?
Sorry, forgot link:

Freeland is tarnished by her family’s hidden past coming to light. She won’t be PM. I doubt that she will even continue to be a “star” in the Liberal Trudeau cabinet.
as to Denis’ Comment
/moveable-feast-cafe-2017-04-23/#comment-348955
this is the first comment I read, which is as patient as necessary with the Donald- phenomenon
Denis demonstrates that to know the Donalds way and stature now is like in 1999 to know the way and stature of a certain Vladimir Putin
this is to me to believe in God’s way which is entirely impossible to imagine but is possible to believe in, in not only christian hope and in behold of his signs and times
This is my weekly prayer to mankind, today in German tomorrow in English

“Exercise “Arrow 17”, led by the Finnish Army’s Armoured Brigade, will take place in Finland from 2 to 13 May 2017. War games brings to Finland a reinforced US Army infantry company equipped with armoured Stryker personnel carrier vehicles as well as a Norwegian Brigade equipped with CV90 infantry fighting vehicles.
According to the Finnish armed forces, “the objective of the exercise is to enhance interoperability and capability of mechanized units in offensive combat”.
Involving active duty personnel and conscripts from the Armoured Brigade, Pori Brigade, Karelia Brigade, Uusimaa Brigade, Jaeger Brigade and Utti Jaeger Regiment as well as the Army Academy, the Finnish Army’s mechanised exercise operates with the total strength of approximately 2,200 persons. Exercise will take place in Niinisalo, western part of Finland. ”

This is how US is penetrating to Finnish foreign policy after clear majority of Finns (over 60%) are against Nato membership. How US made it? USA invites himself to Finland using few military leaders as “callers”. Politicians are told much later and they just can’t stop it. Not before they have sacked current Finnish military leaders (especially those in Air Force, most pro Nato arm branch).
True also of Australia.
Most Australians are blissfully pig-ignorant of the slow seeping spread of American bases.
Because the bases are in remote north-west, no-one knows or cares.
The bases are there to “contain” China.
Nukes and missiles if not already, then soon.
Most Australians would oppose nuking China, if they could be bothered turning of their huge flatscreen TV long enuf to think about it.
Maskirova Trumperova?
He/She cries over Fake News Syrian babies
On North Korea He/She has Mattis rabies.
He’ll/she’ll surely lower your income taxes,
But will he/she say Vlad Putin hacks his
/her emails? Gender/policy sex confusion
Negates any rational or sane conclusion.
Xi and Putin have several tough problems
Dealing with a Don in Clinton costumes:
They’d like to talk Turkey, make a deal
But is this American “partner” even real?
We’re witnessing a global Masked Ball
That could degenerate into nuclear brawl.
His/her clumsy, confusing dance moves
One Thing for darned certain proves:
He may’ve wanted to make America Great
But she’s the bitch of the AZ Deep State.
Meanwhile, patriots’ve gotta change the tune,
Get a One Belt One Road deal done by June.
Donald Trump that’s your sane strategic task,
Now, off with that Hitlery Hag Halloween mask!
Oh 93…your poem inspires me to post from a more innocent time if anyone living in the Death Star can be deemed innocent

this piece has a good rock rhythm
isn’t there a garage-band around?
Good morning. Thanks to all at this vineyard for making my day and helping to show the way in these most dangerous times. I was going to wait until the next cafe to say what I want to say but the accelerating pace of evil demands I speak my peace/piece now.
There is much wisdom, humor, art and comfort in this vineyard bower, especially here in the cafe. And most importantly we are the Little Dutch Boy with his finger in the dam, holding back the tsunami of war. We are like Liberty at the barricades of the French revolution, except for the notable difference that this revolution is one of love, not one paid for by Zionists.
Our flag and banner is “Stop the Empire’s War on Russia.” As I’ve said many times, to stop this one particular war, we have to address the causes of war as such. We are gradually coming around to this gargantuan task. It starts with examining the nature of love and war which we are doing with analysis, art and the choices we make in our own lives.
Kent’s cartoon of Putin and Trump above is very funny and reflects the general view here. My own understanding is different. The size of the figures of Putin and Trump should be reversed. I think Trump is a giant in the making. He is learning as he goes. He is demonstrating the “Art of the Deal” on several fronts, even if appearing weak and crazy in the process.
The biggest existential threat facing us now is North Korea. The Congress is not going to declare war. But they will sign on to war. The Democrats and many Republicans would impeach Trump and failing that, would support having him killed. Imagine what that would do to the country. Think of what that would do to his family.
Who do you think is behind this? Who could it be other than the Zionist Jews? They supported the Clintons. They did not give a nickel to Trump’s campaign. The Zionists did everything they could to defeat him and are still not giving up on destroying him. The Zionists create chaos and they intend to fill that awful vacuum with their dream of Greater Israel controlling the world. Do you think Trump does not know this? The only reason he still lives is the Anglos who have his back, not the Anglo-Zionists. That facade is falling off fast.
He is holding these snakes that would kill him very close to his breast. Look at his family. Look at those who surround him. You think this is crazy. You think Trump is mad. Yes, crazy like a fox. This is the only way to survive and to live for another day when you can get your way. Did we learn nothing from the JFK assassination? JFK was a hero of freedom, the last real president we had. He was a martyr.
Trump charts a different course. He is a businessman. The first order of business is to survive. If he has to make a temporary deal with the devil, he will. When he has learned all he can about being a politician and commander-in-chief; when he has set his chess pieces in place and sacrificed what he needed to flush out the traitors and has the means to drain the swamp, he will place his queen in play–and she can be a real bitch. “I’m not afraid to make love with a hag or a bitch.” (Dylan).
mundomaniac makes a couple of good points. Putin in 1999 appears to be much like Trump is now. Trump seems to have studied Putin’s rise to power. However, both Putin and Trump hide their plans, like grand chess masters. They are not what they seem, if we dare a generalization. In the case of Trump, the jury is still out.
Putin’s rise to power was…well, based on power which was exercised in the most unethical ways. He was involved in the Moscow apartment bombings which was done by the government, like our 9/11 and then blamed on terrorists to rally the country around war. Trump is following suit by supporting the military and is now threatening war on North Korea.
Trump had the Senate come to him at the White House, an unprecedented chess move. Most of these politicians would impeach or kill Trump if they could. They are in the grip of the Zionists who, if they can, will use Trump to create chaos and bring down Zionist martial law to the US. Talk about holding your enemies close! Even inviting them into your house!
I could go farther down this rabbit hole but I think you get the idea. Putin is no saint and neither is Trump. Putin is good for business, as demonstrated by his Silk Road connections and central bank transactions. Trump is all about business, especially about surviving in shark infested waters. Like Putin, he may have to cooperate with evil and make a deal with the devil (read Zionist) to bring about a greater good for the business world, and to save western civilization from Jewish Talmud sharia law.
The threat now is North Korea. It has been preparing for sixty years for war with the Great Satan America, in their minds and bunkers. For a background check on NK, I learned much at the recent Stefan Molyneux dialogue with Mike Malice, a man born in the Soviet Union and an expert on NK. NK has a true ax to grind with the West and it looks like it might go all the way nuclear.
Don’t panic at the prospect of nuclear war but be prepared, at least psychologically. NK has no allies; it is backed into a corner and with their underground system appears to have nothing to lose. Trump is dealing with these “crazies in the basement.” Eventually, they will have to be dealt with. The time may be now before they get even stronger with nuclear delivery systems.
NK hates Japan for the unbelievable horrors the Japs did to NK as their colony over a long period of time. Now it is the evil Japs, as NK views them, along with the US that are threatening the NK leadership which is about as evil as it gets. Takes on to know one.
mundomaniacs’s second point is to ask for the assistance of a Higher Power, which he calls God. Call it what you will, it is pretty much the same game still. I call the Higher Power a Love Bower for reasons I need not go into here. The Love Army protects the Love Bower. I practice the Love Army’s Ten New Commandments which are based on Moses’ Ten Commandments and Jesus’s development into the One Law of Love.
The Love Government further develops this line of love into ten applications. This may not be your cup of tea but under the rules of engagement in this vineyard, we have freedom of speech in accordance with moderated guidelines. I express my views and you yours about how to stop war.
I appeal to the Love Army to assist with this work. It may be necessary to allow a limited nuclear war in the Trump versus North Korea theater to prevent a bigger blow-up later. I don’t know. That’s why I look for help from a higher power, as you do too. To put it in traditional religious terms: “let us pray.” In Love Government terms, let us say the word “love,” and follow that with actions; if not fifty, then 45, then 40, 30, 20 and 10. If not ten, then five; if not five, then one; if not one, then at least entertain the possibility that alternatives exist to stop war–to play off the deal Abraham made with God, bargaining God down to ten just men from fifty. Abraham showed Trump the art of the deal. We brave few in this vineyard are the ten just persons, seven women and three men, if you will. (I’m humoring you patriarchs).
I am sending all the love I can muster to the Donald that he may not be a Donald sitting duck but a David to bring down the Zionist Goliath Empire.
Got to eat and run. The Love Army on the march passes here at 10:25. Got to join them for the half-hour walk to the trolley and ten minute ride into Ojai to do some shopping; and then reverse the trip back to this love bower Vineyard West. All the best to you and yours.
Love, Dennis
Alright, except you can’t excuse striking NK by just imagining they will strike someone, and not be falling into the AZ Empire’s plan of killing US/China/Russia economic cooperation for a century at least.
They’d have to commit that hari kari move first, themselves before anyone could ever justify lobbing Fatter Boy at Fat Boy.
But they aren’t Japanese, so don’t hold your breath.
Without their nukes they would already be conquered, regime changed. They’re not stupid. Qaddaffi played nice and got sodomized. CYA is not a crime against humanity. Nuclear first strike IS.
Keep those dogs of war well leashed.
Limited nuclear war as a political maneuvering ploy? Bad idea. Immoral, beside being far too unpredictably dangerous. Force is only justified to defend against violence, and if NK commits violence, especially nuclear violence they become a radioactive wasteland.
Their nukes are for survival IMHO, not suicide.
Hi. Good points. See the next cafe for my reply. Thanks.
