Article from Wangcha Sangey a Bhutanese, You can read his earlier articles on the blog too:

The Strategy behind India’s Doklam transgression: Here is the Ugliness.
https://wangchasangey.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-strategy-behind-india-doklam.html

“Let me relate following historical decisions of the Kings of Bhutan to demonstrate how wary Bhutan had always been of silent takeover by the powerful neighbourly friend called India.

1. In 1962 during Sino- India war, the 3rd King of Bhutan granted safe passage to Indian soldiers fleeing Arunachal through Eastern Bhutan to India only after the soldiers surrendered their rifles at Tashigang Dzong. This demonstrates that Bhutan does not welcome armed combat troops even that of India. .

2. In 2003, India offered combat troops to Bhutan to fight Indian militant groups. There is already IMTRAT the training wing of Indian Army in Bhutan.They are supposed to be unarmed and therefore, not in the category of regular fighting force.

His Majesty the 4th King was not sure whether his own force could expel the militant groups. After all, the greater numbered militants were also battle hardened and well armed. But His Majesty was sure of one reality. That was if he accepted combat troops of Indian Army into the Kingdom, that would be the end of sovereign Bhutan. So the King took the less evil option. The offer of Indian Army was declined. And His Majesty decided to lead in person the Royal Bhutan Army to expel the various groups like ULFA , BODO and KLO Indian militants camped in the thick jungles of Southern Bhutan.”
…

“Considering such super human sacrifices made by the people and Kings of Bhutan, it would be crazy to seek Indian intervention at Doklam. Indian Army had simply bull dozed in unannounced. An invasion at Doklam happened.

Initially it seemed that Bhutan was duped by Indian action at Doklam. Maybe Bhutan just meekly succumbed to Indian aggression on the border front and diplomatic arm twisting on the foreign affairs front. Bhutan complained to China and even issued a Press Release that
were in line with political ploy of India.Thankfully Bhutan, ultimately, recognised betrayal signs and decided to stand her ground. Bhutan refused to condone Indian transgression at Doklam. If she had , next thing Thimphu, Paro and Haa would have been flooded with Indian combat troops and war machinaries on the pretext of enevitability of Chinese invasion. From the day one of transgression at Doklam, vociferous Indians and even few treacherous pro-Indian Bhutanese voices were crying aloud about the danger posed by China from Doklam to the northern Valleys of Haa, Paro and Thimphu. Doklam is actually part of Samtse Dzongkhag in the South. Most Bhutanese did not even hear of name of the remote mountsin Plateau till then. And ironically if such evil people had their ways, before China or even most Bhutanese woke up, Bhutan could have been another Sikkim.”
…
“India had quietly amassed huge forces at Sikkim and Siliguri Chicken neck in preparation for a limitted war at Doklam to quote an Indian writer, ” to give a bloody nose to China ” who was caught off guard at Doklam. India wanted to establish full and complete hegemony over Bhutan through a short brief war at Doklam. Not a full scale five front war.

The same correspondent Vicky Nanjappa also revealed how India was now going about to resolve the Standoff at Doklam. To quote him :

” It is a complex situation and India at best would withdraw troops on the pre-condition that it is replaced by the forces from Bhutan.” Similar political view has been again repeated in The Indian Express by Sushant Singh on 4th August ( today) .

What this means is that the Indian Security Advisor Ajit Doval had conveyed to Beijing the willingness of Indian Army to withdraw from Bhutan and China Doklam.

Nanjappa’s above statement is couched in diplomatic face saving graceful language.
China would never accept Bhutanese Army in place of Indian Army in the Chinese controlled Doklam territory. So it had to be a reference to Indian Army vacating Bhutan controlled Doklam territory which would subsequently leave only Bhutanese patrolling contigent behind. Naturally that would suit Bhutan.

But simple withdrawl from Doklam would not have appeased the most infuriated Chinese PLA. So the offer had to be accompanied by the commitment not to interfere into the Sino- Bhutan Border Talks as well as never again encroach into Chinese controlled Doklam or attempt to station Indian combat troops on Bhutanese territory at the Tri- Junction or other Sino- Bhutan Borders. Some hints are already reflected in The Indian Express article today.”

‘Terrorist attack’ on military base in Venezuela foiled – official

https://www.rt.com/news/398796-venezuela-military-base-terrorist-attack/

“Armed men were trying to steal weapons, Reuters reported, citing officials. Seven people were detained, while security forces continue to search for more attackers from the group.

The news of the attack came shortly after a video was released on social media, showing a group of men in military uniform. A man who identified himself as Juan Carlos Caguaripano, a former National Guard captain, called for an uprising against the government, demanding the “immediate formation of a transition government.”

Military officials announced on Sunday the attackers were “a group of civilians dressed in military uniforms,” headed by a former army lieutenant. The man was dismissed from the service three years ago “for treason and mutiny,” the military said in a statement, adding that he reportedly fled the country and was hiding out in the US.”

“hiding out in the US.” Gee, what a surprise.

I was reading Saker’s Appeal at the main page regarding regarding Saker’s health issue. What a wonderful community of resources we have. Even if Saker cannot use any of the suggestions, someone else probably can. Seeds of wisdom broadcast freely.

One struck me as possibly helpful for myself. It’s Inclined Bed Therapy by Andrew K. Fletcher, posted by youss. It took me only an hour but I inclined my outdoor double bed, the one under the tarps. It’s another example of something given to me free, both the bed and information. I live out in the country. About a half dozen years ago some unknown soul “dumped” a mattress and box spring near the entrance to our property.

My ex-wife and another woman dragged the items onto our property, thinking kids could play on them. For some four years, the mattress and spring laid about in one place or another. When I moved here off the street a couple of years ago, I and another guy carried the mattress to my new outside bedroom. Prior to that I was living and sleeping in my motorhome.

The mattress is weather beaten like myself. But it is one of those thick ones, and was of good quality. I have slept on all kinds of things in shelters and woods. Now I’m like the princess sleeping on thirteen mattresses and not noticing the pea under them, as a test of my true princess status.

So I decided to incline my bed and life. But wait, says I. The mattress and wood platform are heavy and I am light. I looked under the hood, as they say, and saw the plywood pieces, futon lattice of board resting on the cinder blocks I made months ago. Would the frame bend in the middle? It did.

But fortunately, I had not got my hands under the bottom plywood far enough. Now the bed did not bend in the middle but may have swayed without the middle cinder blocks. So I racketed everything up by inserting bricks at the head. Now it inclined five inches, the width of two bricks. I racketed up with another couple of temporary spacers to insert a 2×4 across the middle blocks, and then removed the spacers, and lo and behold, it was nearly perfect with the addition of a spacer on one side.

I tried it our by laying down and it felt fine. I’ve been sleeping “flat” for 77 years. Maybe that is why my life is a bit flat. This experience could only be inspired in a community like this. A gift freely given and gratefully received. It started with Saker sharing his problem and cascaded into literally thousands of unforeseen effects, most of which will never be reported like mine. Such are the blessings of community in disguise.

My memory of things deep and sweet was likewise stimulated. I recalled a couple of ancient inclined bed images. I think I saw one in the Great Pyramid or more likely in a book of pictures of some ancient Egyptian pyramid or temple. Priests we gathered around an inclined bed where a person was laying. The purpose could have been health, but I rather think it was to induce an “out of the body” trip, if I recall from the commentary, which claimed the inclination assisted the soul to depart through the top of the head at a certain angle.

The second inclined memory is of the caves of Lascaux, France. Most are of large animals of some 17,000 years ago but there was one human lying down in an inclined position. He had an erection. So there may have been a connection between soul travel and sex.

In the deeper recesses of the Love Bower, there is this link of soul travel, death, sex and the after-life. The key to open these mysteries of our origins and endings is encoded in the concept of “communal sex,” which is protected by the psychological mechanism of rejection of the notion. I am just saying that in a community of seekers, strange things can happen never heard before.

Health issues are very complex and may go into past lives, or in Christian terms into the community of saints. The Church Fathers spoke of sin and redemption. Eastern teachers speak of karma and reincarnation. Sin is no longer popular as an explanatory term, so I use the term “missing the mark” which seems to be the root of sin, or sinister. I am a sinner and a mark-misser.

As Dylan sang, “I heard the Sermon on the Mount but it was too complex, and it didn’t amount to more than the broken glass reflects.” To avoid the confusion and the possibility of being cut, I take the simple way and go directly to love, as the Love Army directs.

One more thing comes to mind. This community has so many links to the awesome world beyond my computer screen, that I just have to say it one more time. The Saker started something with this website. He bit off a big slice of karma or sin by confronting the empire. Evil does strike “back” at such presumption.

Saker has had our “back” in so many ways we’ll never know. Maybe it’s time for us to have his “back.” This is no time to “back” or slack off. I was listening to Alex and Mike about the empire closing us off from each other by shutting off access to the internet. I thought it’s time to “back” up my thoughts with actions. You know, walk my talk.

My health issues are minor now. I just got over a sore left groin from catching my foot going over a barrier. Now I’m nursing a sore right thigh and hip from too much shoveling and using with my right foot, I think. I further think these injuries being in the sexual area have something to do with my history of sexual repression in my formative years, beyond the obvious fact of my not paying attention to what I was doing.

I’m also now experiencing tooth and socket pain associated with an abscess that somehow got into the bone, I think. Jungianly, the teeth are used by animals like us to grab onto life and deal with it; or not. I’m trying to deal rather conceal.

My back is generally not a problem until I sustain a muscle injury. I have kyphosis, or curvature of the spine forward, partly due to genes and partly to too much desk work. It’s not noticeable unless you’d see me silhouetted stripped above waist, Putin-like, which would no doubt be putting-off in my aged condition. My chest is correspondingly caved in, probably because of lack-love issues.

I think that’s why for my whole life I’ve sought love to heal that heart place. I think love has been my number one “healer,” although I’ve tried thousands of other things that I suppose have been helpful to some degree. I could go on and on about other deficiencies but at the top I treat them all the same–with love.

What’s with teranam 13? I thought she was braking but she’s breaking out all over the place. I’m glad for it, for I’d miss her forays into the cornucopious sublime and silly, like Dostoevsky and The Three Stooges. What a fantastic world that I have endured; and I have been a recluse, compared to the likes of all of youss, not to mention your serendipitous and sychronistic magical mystery tours, through the agency of words and videos.

Time to pick oranges and draw the hot water from the sun heated hose for my ritual bath of the day which is like a daily baptism to wash my sins and missed-marks away. Oh, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away.

Love, Dennis

In Balkans speech, Trump’s VP pledges allegiance to the swamp

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/398765-balkans-trump-pence-yugoslavia/

“In peddling this false history of “Russian aggression,” Pence sounds exactly like the empire-loving Washington establishment, the very “swamp” his boss swore he would drain. It makes one wonder who was the target of this speech, the ever-obedient client regimes of the “Western Balkans” he was addressing, or the swamp back in Washington seeking a suitable replacement for the president they loathe?

But wait, there’s more. At one point, Pence quoted a line from a famous 19th-century poem by a Montenegrin prince-bishop, about how adversity reveals true heroes. This suggests that whoever wrote his speech at least made an effort to look into the country’s history. That look must have been entirely cursory, however, as the poem in question celebrated Montenegro’s Serbian identity and the struggle against the Ottoman Empire and its “Turk converts” in the early 1700s. The current regime in Montenegro is working hard to assert a separate and openly anti-Serb national identity for the country, while Turkey is a major US ally in NATO ‒ for the time being, anyway.

Last, but not least, the very phrase “Western Balkans” is an attempt to erase the region’s history, culture, traditions and diversity that Pence facetiously praised in his remarks. It is a geographical term devoid of any meaning, a blank slate for US and NATO to project their fantasies, while the actual name for the region ‒ Yugoslavia ‒ seems to have been banished to the proverbial memory hole, lest its shade disrupt the self-righteous sleep of those that helped make it a desert and called it peace.”

I would say catholic zionazi quisling pence is the current neocon poster boi.

Here is a blogger that puts a lot of efforts in proving his thesis that we are now lured in to a trap. He thinks that this emerging multipolar world, rising Russia-China against the anglozionist empire osv. is a con and theater made by the elite, a smart move to make us love a coming NWO. Interesting thoughts, any reactions on this here in the community ?

More Muslim Women Than Men Feel Discriminated Against in US – Poll

https://sputniknews.com/us/201708071056256971-muslims-discrimination-us/

“Eight-in-ten Muslim women (83 percent) say there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims, compared with a smaller share of men who say this (68 percent),” a press release explaining the poll said.

Other indicators also reveal a similar pattern, according to the release.

For example, 57 percent of Muslim women say it has become more difficult to be a Muslim in the United States in recent years compared with 43 percent of men.

Six-in-ten (64percent) of Muslims whose appearance identifies them as Muslim have experienced discrimination compared with 39 percent among those who are not easily identifiable as Muslim, according to the poll.

Incidents of discrimination include having been treated with suspicion, called offensive names, singled out by airport security or other law enforcement, or physically threatened or attacked, the release explained.”

The difference between levels of abuse Muslims receive from Jewish zionazi media indoctrinated americans is related to gender and appearance. True to form, most bigots are cowards and this is reflected by their manner of selecting their victims for abuse. The cowards prey upon women more than men not just because the women’s appearance often makes it more certain they are Muslim, but mainly because the bigoted cowards know the victim is highly unlikely to kick their cowardly arses in response.

This front paged on Sputnik right now.

Roger Waters: ‘On the Altar of Zionism, They Want to Tear Up the Constitution’

https://sputniknews.com/politics/201708081056269124-roger-waters-zionism-tear-constitution/

“Here we have a non-violent movement steeped deeply in [the methods pioneered by] Martin Luther King, Ghandi, so many people who are so revered worldwide. But when you put BDS and Israel together the vitriol toward it seems so out of whack with how we’re taught to remember non-violent civil disobedience,” By Any Means Necessary host Eugene Puryear said.

​The backlash against the 12-year-old BDS movement stems from “completely understandable bitterness that followed the way the Jewish people were treated in northern Europe and western Europe in the 1930s, 1940s and Second World War,” Waters said. This justified sentiment, however, has been “diverted into an exceptionalistic extremism that knows no boundaries of behavior,” the songwriter pointed out.

​As it gains strength, BDS is emerging as one of the most divisive movements across the global political landscape. In the past several years, some US churches, students’ and teachers’ organizations and high-level academics have made pledges to divest from Israeli businesses and institutions; on Saturday, the fast-growing Democratic Socialists of America, a party associated with former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, passed a resolution endorsing the movement at its national convention in Chicago.

Meanwhile, the bipartisan Israel Anti-Boycott Act introduced into the US Senate in March, would make support for international boycotts against Israel a felony.

“On the altar of Zionism, they want to tear up the Constitution,” Waters said, pointing to First Amendment free speech rights that would be “scratched out” if the Israel Anti-Boycott Act becomes law.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is “terrified” that public discourse will stray too far from the status quo of supporting Israel almost without question, Waters noted of the powerful Washington lobbyist group. Particularly, AIPAC and its kin are wary of word getting around about the “oppression” of Palestinians in occupied territories, the artist said. “If somebody suggests there might be an alternative narrative, they want them silenced.”

On June 5, Waters wrote an open letter to Radiohead to protest that band’s crossing the BDS picket line earlier in the year to play a show in Tel Aviv. “Today is the 50th anniversary of the occupation of Palestine by Israel,” the bassist and songwriter wrote. “Fifty years living under military occupation, 50 years for a people with no civil rights, 50 years of no recourse to the law, 50 years of apartheid.”

The BDS picket line “exists to shine a light on the predicament of the occupied people of Palestine, both in Palestine and those displaced abroad, and to promote equal civil rights for all the people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea no matter what their nationality, race or religion,” Waters’ letter reads.

Benjamin Balthaser, a Jew who joined DSA last year, told the Intercept “the Israeli government says it represents all Jews in the world … I think it’s very important for the Jewish community to say, ‘We don’t feel represented by an apartheid government. We don’t feel represented by a military occupation.'”

Regarding the intersection of the BDS movement and pending legislation that would criminalize the boycott, the legendary musician said, “We’re arriving at a fundamental crunch point where your civil liberties are being attacked by what is essentially an agent of a foreign government.”

That “evil anti-semite” Waters… ;-D

The world could do with a lot more people like him, and places like Sputnik, who give the decent people a voice.

information, information, … the daily wheel with O.B.and V.T.

poetry’s corner deserted, ok I come tomorrow, but where is Venus
in Cancer in this Cafe?

OK, I got it, Venus is the ruler of the realm of society, socialism, trade unions
associations of all kinds (but not souls), and, second rule, the realm of encounter, dialog and falling in love; by ancient Egyption’s projection called “Libra” –
aka the two-person-model, revealing each partner as a half.

So the waves of daily informations and their noises are filling
the quiet corners of poesy and this goes to all of us of the
northern hemishere like in Sakers Cafe till later September.

In my Kitchen in the Bavarian Postgasse there was another
communal event – mundo’s son Enzo was here with his Camper
from 1000 km away near Hamburg. Together with him Mimi
his enchanting wife, a pastor. Now late enough Mundo with 76
will become Grandfather, deo concedente and Mrs. Mundo
Great Stepmum.

This is God’s poetry, blessing our life. Forget about the demons
of information.
At least sometimes.

It takes many years for men to understand how women think. As an 80 year old said, now I understand, but it is too late. I am not that old, but I have had revelations.

Some things require a rest.

I must get some and haven’t even caught up on reading everything here.

But I will copy and past an email reply to ioan written during the Sparrow Cafe (Moineau):

Hello Ioan:

I only now do I see your comment which always has permission to be added, dear friend:

/moveable-feast-cafe-2017-07-30/#comment-385842

I was so inspired by some comments (vot tak had one actually more funny than so acidic as to dissolve half of AIPAC…..) of the Sparrow Cafe (Moineau) that I started a poem but “took gas” (a stock car driver going nearly 300km/hr around a several miles in circumference oval track is near the lead, but mismanages fuel efficiency, and has to pull off the track near the end of the race……. It is a “pit stop”. He takes much gas in seconds from high powered pumps……..but the race is lost………..a world of cars with fuel to spare races ahead… a few kilometers in half a minute..) after a title and an idea for an opening couplet.

.Cafe Moineau/Sparrow Cafe

and two lines, the sparks were igniting nothing….tank completely empty…..only fumes remaining…and I rest for the remainder of the evening…not just taking gas…..a complete valve job is needed!

I was not even sure what your comment above was getting at.The last line escaped me, like gases leaking out of my cylinders through faulty valves………

I did understand teranam 13 and Mundo on Vlad’s fishing recharge. Some of that charge even found its way into my own depleted batteries…..See? The metaphors are all scrambled.. And in such pitiful condition, I am inclined to say that even the slant of Dennis’ bed angle analysis was more decipherable to me than your angler’s cast, above.

Please elucidate briefly, casting the fly perhaps with a slightly different arc of your flexible casting rod, that I may better comprehend what sort of idea or cognition you would like to bring to the surface.
