A jar that is half full

Jarring right on nerves
Of some but not of all –

But here is a serious thought for all the wonderful cranes and condors and saker’s of Sakers, and prompted by musings of Leary that tend to repeat the wonderful theme of love. It palls after many hearings, like the carpet seller, endlessly rolling out the the rugs of the Persian’s designs of old…
If at times love is gone, then aspire to peace :
Strive for Peace,
Live in Peace,
Love the Peace.

Iran has closed its airspace for US and Saudi Arabia as well as for other countries that have attacked Yemen, the Iranian FARS News agency reported citing Commander of Khatam ol-Anbia Air Defense Base Brigadier Gen Farzad Esmayeeli.
“After the cruelties against Yemen and given the fact that the military system of a country is not separate from its government and trade system, therefore, we cannot show double-standard behavior towards the world and for instance, when we say that the US is a world arrogant power, therefore, we don’t allow the US aircraft, even passenger planes, to fly over the Islamic Republic of Iran because we are against its government’s policies,” FARS News quoted Gen Esmayeeli as saying on Tuesday.
According to FARS News, the decision will also impact other countries which have attacked Yemen, including Saudi Arabia.”
Grave
I’m chained to a rock.
In pain.
I live in a dark, grey dungeon.
Alone.
Only with my memories.
Causing even more pain.
I remember a time.
Distant.
When I was able to fly.
Had wings.
I moved like wind.
Between trees.
Joined the eagle in the sky above.
Love in my heart.
Joy in the guts.
Ecstasy in my body.
Then I fell.
Don’t remember why.
Can’t recall what happened.
But I fell.
Didn’t I?
Why this misery now?
Why this great memories?
Where are they from?
I lie in my grave.
My tomb.
It’s cold and wet.
Spiders over me.
The door opens.
Such a bright Light shines.
I can’t stand it.
I can’t see.
My eyes aren’t used to it any more.
I remember it.
There is a voice in the Light:
Come, darling!
Come brother!
It’s time!
Your time.
I start to cry.
Hot, thick tears.
Like Lava.
Could it be?
What I have prayed for?
Which I have longed for?
For a Aeon?
Paradox.
Now it’s there.
Here.
And I fear, what I have prayed for.
The Light, I have longed for.
I fear it now.
It hurts my eyes.
I got used to my tomb.
Got used to the spiders.
And their webs.
Became my friends.
My home.
And the Light?
My past home.
My new home?
Could I dare it?
Should I try?
Nice poem. Many years ago I had a dream : it was night and I stood in the middle of my garden looking at the grey mountains, the sky above was full of shining stars. Then the stars begun to move in all directions, some of them flew over the mountains down in the valley. One of them came in my direction, growing in size and shine. Then I had the impression as if it wants to tell me something. I became so scarred by his light and power, then woke up.

VLADIVOSTOK (Sputnik) — Russia proposes Japan to consider the possibilities of building a rail-and-road transition from Japan’s Hokkaido to the southern part of Russia’s Sakhalin, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said on Wednesday.

The heroes are bemedalled
the saints are few
the fools are many
the blue-blooded rule regardless of the cost
for chaos is the definition of progress
where profit is prime
regardless of crime
for crime it is when innocence is robbed of time
the cries go unheeded
for the children of the damned have no voice
or is it no choice
when capitalist greed spreads a seed is born
though at first it is unbeknown to most
yet after time it requires an insatiable thirst
that rapes the land and also the hand
the hand which toils until it falters
yet there are few alters
for progress needs none
still progress needs the son
to blind the one’s who die for naught
as we witness what is wrought before our eyes
and innocence dies
we laugh and drink as societies sink
into the quagmire of ruin
where history is lost or rewritten with poisonous fumes
to what end will this lead us
perhaps to the path of perdition.

I want to make a collection of Chechnya war videos from the early 1990’s till the present. Firstly, I would like to understand more accurately the history, the set backs and the victories of this part. I have never found any documentary other than the ones from the western side.
If you are aware of such videos, please share the links.
Don’t know about videos, but Anna Politkovskaya wrote a lot about the war. She was harsh toward the Russian government but nobody ever said she lied.
Putin’s bio “First Person” also talks about the war from his perspective. He thought at the time that it was designed to be a wedge to split Russia apart along the Urals, which is why he would not give up the fight.
Later events have certainly shown that Hillary, Nuland and the rest of the neocons have been using other ‘wedges’ against Russia.
Can’t tell whether Mr. Putin was ahead of his time in understanding what was going on, or whether he’s a smart person who learns from events and thus by the time he wrote his book he had excellent hindsight towards those events.
From now, it certainly seems as though that was an early stage in what I call the ‘Always Poke Russia with a Stick’ policy. How anyone could fail to see that doing this would inevitably lead to tensions between two nuclear powers is a bit beyond me? And of course, being what I think is a decent human being, it seems impossible to believe that any sane person would want to have un-neccessary tensions between nuclear powers.
But, maybe if some Merchant of Death was paying me a million dollars a year to do this to help their sales, it might make some sort of sense in a ‘I’ll have the most toys when the world ends’ sort of way.
Infowars debuts a news program from 2-4pm Central time called WarRoom. They just played an RT clip of Putin speaking about what is needed in N. Korea. So far there is not too much ranting and raving so it is more palatable than Alex Jones straight!
Owen Shroyer is hosting. The politics are not class based but they are anti globalist. It is worth keeping an eye this, however.
I agree. I saw that.
Lots of viewers lots of guests with different points of view, enough debate to rarely bore you, and Alex can take a punch (disagreement) without getting uncivil.
Actually stops ranting for a while and gets more thoughtful. He’s not dumb, even if his act seems like it sometimes. Worth checking in on Deplorables Nation daily to see what’s up.
Sometimes it’s alarming……sometimes surprisingly good.
I’ll just point out that refering to ‘his act’ is entirely accurate. Saw a news story a short while ago that he was being sued for divorce, and his soon-to-be-ex-wife used his shows as a part of her case. Mr. Jones countered by saying that what he does on his podcasts is ‘just an act’.

I couldn’t endure more than twenty seconds.
And I am no stranger to Rage Against the Machine.
The Love Army was attacked yesterday by the Empire. I could tell by the exhaustion, confusion, fear, shame and negativity I felt. We drove the killers off. I worked most of the day on my house expansion project, thinking the while of the greater project of stopping war.
I see by the main page that Saker has evacuated to Virginia. Nature is a powerful force who is affected by our wars. Love is the most powerful force of all which is why it is the first object of the empire’s hatred. The Love Government, as the name implies, is the alternative to the reign of evil.
Know it or not, we are each and all, part of this epic war, which is played out on inner and outer battlefields. Our mission is to “stop the empire’s war on Russia,” because Russia is the first and last barrier to the empire’s goal.
The Love Government, Army and Bower are, collectively, my “alter ego, comrade in arms and inner lover.” For me, this is not a rhetorical device but a living reality. The question of who I am is beside the point. I am weak, corrupt, hypocritical, narcissistic, stupid and much worse, but that too is beside the point.
Love is the point and war is the anti-point. All is fair in love and war. It’s not about fairness but winning. Eventually, love will win–that is certain. But we can choose to be enmeshed in evil eternally.That’s the idea behind the Christian warning about eternal hell.
Before I break to eat, I want to reply to a couple of fellow commenters from the previous cafe.
mundanomaniac, in his latest general reading, described Russia in these words, which is apt to our circumstances: “secured in the lap of the great humble Russian spirit of stability and humanity within the human village.”
Bro 93 has exhibited an awesome output lately. I was inspired by Paul Robeson’s tribute to Joe Hill, courtesy of Bro. And what can I say about his personal story of rescuing “the cook?” It’s an unforgettable example of love and courage.
Thanks to one and all.
Love, Dennis
It’s very heart warming to see the Good Ole Timex still ticking!
OMG! I’m mellowing!
I read a couple of darn nice comments by you this evening, Dennis.
AND………….I’m positive you could have done much better with “cook” than I did. The last thing I was thinking about then was love.It was just immediate instinct, at the time. Like the herring headed to those shallows, there wasn’t any other possible action that I could see.
I reflected on the love part of it only decades later.
And the “talent” that even such an unhappy cook is born with.
Thanks to You Dennis vicariously for all you commenters who include whole of your minds
and fragments of your secret- life- poesy. You are helping ourself think deeper and deeper and
to feel home on this planet in a way that hasn’t been on this earth.

Alrighty. What the Helvete!
Time is short, but Talent is expanding. I think the human race just might make it through this night.
If there is ONE thing that I’d ask y’all to listen to, think about, and keep, and share, in regard to comprehending what the Helvete I am doing or rather trying to do here in the Vineyard, with my sons and wife and anyone else I can affect with my meager Allotment of Talent, and what you might do with your Talent, in your own unique way, it would be THIS talk 13 years ago:

No time to wait for birthdays in which the usual platitudes by Maxine Waters, Susan Rice, Condoleeza Rice, Gen Colin Powell and other slaves to NWO EVIL will be stupidly uttered, drowning out more beautiful truth regarding our precious talents, which they are in the process of disgracing.
Cynthia McKinney, on the other hand, a freed woman, and many other free people of any color might get over the smear jobs 45 years longer in time span than those against Trump, which were dumped on the speaker and his associates, and quite possibly strongly concur with what the 80-year-old man said then, on the invitation of Amelia Boynton Robinson, the iconic resident of Selma, Alabama who was filmed beaten unconscious in the early sixties on the Edmund Pettus Bridge by Alabama State troopers.
Got to run to the desert today, but will follow up soon on anything asked of me.
Will Talent, from Potus on down be corrupted, destroyed, or rise to the occasion, the Punctum Saliens of the Era we are in???
It is a question of Aggregate Talent, or lack thereof, I maintain that will determine global safety or global disaster.
And this gives each human being, no matter how many talent “coins” (representing spiritual currency, mental powers, and yes Love!) an inspiring purpose in quite a few cases………..or an unbearable burden, in many other cases.
Imagine how far the “race war” scenario of Soros and the British Monarchy would get if Trump had the speaker’s talent for talking to such a group of blacks, down in the Deep South.
Oh well, Trump has his own unique talent (LOL) but I submit he could use more of an awakening team effort by millions of other awakening talents to give him some better chance to use what he does have in a positive way, rather than “screwing the pooch” if that help, (or “constraint” if you’re an almost Never Trumper) is lacking!
I’m a “make the best of the cards….(trumps or none!) you’re dealt” kind of guy, myself.

I’m watching World Cup futbol qualyfyinig games, and its got me remembering the last World Cup and something important I thought I noticed about American media in general.
In the last World Cup, the USA made it to the quarterfinals and played Belgium. Belgium was a very respected team that some pundits had really liked. The USA had their usually collection of a couple of players who actually played in the top European leagues with a bunch of other players who are only good enough to play 2nd division or so.
I watched the game on American TV. I watched the 1st half with the sound on, and then got frustrated with the announcing and watched the 2nd half with the sound off.
The announcers were complaining about the American team and its tactics in the 1st half. When I stopped and thought about it, what they were saying was true …. if this was a team like Italy that had several all-world type midfielders. When I turned off the announcers and just watched the game, I realized the US was playing very well for a team that had no all-stars and mostly 2nd division players against a good European team.
And this told me a lot about modern America media. They simply could not admit that America was not NUMBER 1. They talked like America was some great futbol super-power, and couldn’t admit that America plays world cup football with a group of minor leaguers. America in futbol is like some other country in basketball who can find one player who once made an NBA bench, and the rest of the players have to buy a ticket to see NBA caliber players.
A major American network decided somehow that it was impossible to tell Americans that their team is second-rate and is actually playing very well and above their heads. After I turned off the talking-heads, I very much enjoyed the game when I could sit an appreciate this. It was a very exciting performance by a bunch of over-achieving players who were playing way over the heads in challenging a very good Belgium team.
An American network feels like it has to tell an American TV audience that America is number 1 and that America is Great, even when in the case of futbol/soccer, it really isn’t true. And that anyone who turns the sound off on the American network talking heads and simply just watches the game can see the truth.
That’s so true, in so many other areas. All we hear is how great America is. America is always number 1. But when you turn off the talking heads and really watch with your eyes wide open, you see that this isn’t really the case.

I went by that Russian Orthodox Cathedral in San Francisco on my honeymoon 17 years ago.
Then continued up the coast to Fort Ross, (Russ it should be IMHO) the Russian American Fur Company’s outpost for meat, butter, grain, etc for its main centers in Russian America:
1) New Archangelsk (Sitka) and
2) Unalaska (Dutch Harbor, or simply “Dutch” among fishermen who deliver there. The # 1 port in the USA now, in terms of value of catch landed.
They both have historical register Russian Orthodox Cathedrals as well.
Our honeymoon did not include them, however. Instead, we backtracked from our furthest point north (Fort Ross)10 or fifteen miles south and headed up the Russian River.
All mentioned above are in my photo montage in the family room….including the Cathedral in San Francisco in your link………….except those in Alaska, of course!

“The Syrian army says Israeli jets have attacked a site in the west of the country where Western powers suspect chemical weapons are being produced.”
“The attack comes a day after UN human rights investigators said they had concluded a Syrian Air Force jet had dropped a bomb containing the nerve agent Sarin on a rebel-held town in April, killing at least 83 people”

As a sidebar (without links), I’ve noticed more Putin v. Musk exchanges in the media. Putin remarks in a talk with children on the first day of school that AI is the most powerful technology, and whoever controls it will be Lord of the Universe. If it’s Russia who leads in AI, though, they’ll be sure to share with everyone as they do with nuclear technology, Putin states. Musk warns AI will certainly cause WWIII because computers will autonomously initiate the launch codes for nuclear missiles. In Vladivostok, Putin shares that Russia’s upcoming plans for exciting space ventures, if “smart people” in various American establishments don’t hold them back. SpaceX launches some mysterious military satellite, as Hurricane Irma approaches Florida.
There is so much wrong in that shabby, shallow, distorted NYT piece of excrecence that it is not worth commenting on.

Massive Evacuation Underway as Florida Prepares for Deadly Hurricane Irma

As opposed to:
A Lesson for the US: Cuba’s Response to Hurricanes
http://www.globalresearch.ca/a-lesson-for-the-us-cubas-response-to-hurricanes/5607334
“She noted that local leaders are the protagonists of “disaster warning processes based on constant drilling,” which takes place under the rubric of “risk-reduction” in every province, city, town and village.
These constant drills are coupled with an integrated response from local fire departments, health, transportation and other vital public services. Above all, Cuba places “tremendous emphasis on educating the population” to keep communities and families, particularly the most vulnerable, safe.
“A taxi driver can tell you what a hurricane 5 is on the Saffir-Simpson scale and they will give you a whole lecture on what they need to do to prepare,” said Reed.
The journalist also pointed out that Cuba no longer talks about evacuation, but rather focuses on “protection,” which includes reinforcing “a local school” capable of accommodating local communities and pets.
She said that, unlike the people of Texas and Louisiana affected by tropical storm Harvey, all of whom must apply for federal aid, Cubans, despite the country’s vastly inferior economic resources, do not feel as though they will be abandoned “no matter what,” nor subjected to market-driven price gouging of vital supplies as witnessed in Texas today.
Cuba’s “small loss of life and property,” Reed emphasized, is usually significantly less than that seen in major disasters like Hurricane Katrina and now tropical storm Harvey. And the reason is this level of preparation.
According to Reed, the Cuban approach to prevention policies demonstrate a thoughtful insight into the sheer power of nature and the impact of climate change. The U.S. philosophy of disaster relief, on the other hand, is more of an afterthought, which fails to recognize human frailties.
Reed recalls how in 2005, Cuba, which has suffered over half century of a U.S. economic blockade, offered to send 1,500 medical professionals from the Henry Reeves Brigade to help the people of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The former U.S. President George W. Bush, swiftly rejected the offer.”
A very good example of comparison between the left (Cuba), and the right (usa), communism/socialism vs capitalism/fascism.

“The motivation is just to discourage people from looking for help and to continue to fill up the jail, cause we know that is profiting to the county.”

“How Antifa Mirrors the Alt-Right”, by Chris Hedges.
———
I’d pretty much recommend Chris Hedges in general. A war journalist who left the battlefield to go to a seminary. But this piece in particular seems like bit of sanity in an insane world.
I found when on another website I found a defense of Antifa who was attacking this piece by Mr. Hedges. So, for me, step one was to leave that site to go find out what Chris Hedges was saying.
Me, I come from the non-violent branch of protest favored by Dr. King. So, I’ve never been overly fond of the more violent and confrontational types. Not that I’m not glad to have them around when a fight does break out at a protest. No one should criticize them unless one’s been threatened with violence and had to realize that these are the people who will come to your aid. On that day one is indeed thankful they are around. But still, I largely regard the black bloc before it and antifa today as counter-productive to any real cause of freedom and peace and justice being available to everyone.
Probably would have helped if I’d included the link. :)

With Harvey and now Irma doing so much damage. I was wondering if it would be possible to stop these Hurricanes before they grow so large. So I saw this article about ways suggested how to do that. Of course since they haven’t ever been tried we can’t know if they would work. But it seems to me it might be worth trying them. Except for the last one. That might cause more trouble than a Hurricane would.

The Deep State knows full-well how to diminish, intensify, and maneuver hurricanes, and has known for a number of years.
Harvey was a work of art. The Bay City Nuclear facility in Texas hasn’t been heard from since.
Irma is headed directly for Turkey Point Nuke facility in Florida, which will be hard put to handle
200+ mph wind gusts … as will a number of other Florida nuke facilities.
Saker may have to make do with the goods he evacuated with.
Some of us may be familiar with the several typical lay-out of N type power stations and steam turbine-generator, etc. Those will know that turbines use their energy of position to create th flow of spent steam in the condenser stages, which are under or below the level of the turbine case – which can be as big as a really big truck, or bigger.
And the generator output voltage has to be increased via a transformer, and that this creates the desirability of locating the transformers pretty close to the generator to avoid losses.
Thus, typically, the Turbogenerator is high up, and the transformers are on the ground next to the turbine building atop which rests the turbine. The electrical insulation is by air – 10 feet or more between phases and also between phases and earth.
In a wind storm…
I have seen a nuke tripped hard in a wind storm by metal roofing blowing into the transformer array.
It cannot be prevented absent intentional shut down prior in time.
This is merely one path to snafu/fubar. Many others exist.
OMG! I missed the party! But I’m not sad at reading this marital-varietal (as in wines guys….Vineyard, y’all…..) gratitude and getting moved by it:

So a day late and a Euro short, though a tad weary and worse for wear, here’s a gift for peachy pair, Irma, Mundo and their alpine love affair:
A Belated 70th birthday Tribute to Mrs Mundanomaniac
Staying Together Through Calm and Stormy Weather
In honor of Frau Irma Mundo and the Storm of the same name:
“Synchronicity” is the eternal name of the Stormy Cosmic Game.
Any Frau Kapitan needs ein Steuermann, who can see to navigate
The Celestial Seas, when the seven salty soups She stirs,… abate!
Stormy Weather
sung by Lena Horne with political/historic notes:
https://youtu.be/xzLkXdkuhX8
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time
Life is bare
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather
Just can’t get my poor self together
I’m weary all the time, the time
So weary all the time
When he went away, the blues walked in and met me
If he stays away, old rocking chair will get me
All I do is pray the Lord above will let me
Walk in the sun once more
Can’t go on
All I have in life is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time
Keeps rainin’ all the time
I walk around, heavy-hearted and sad
Night comes around, I’m still feelin’ bad
Rain pourin’ down, blindin’ every hope I had
This pitterin’, patterin’, beatin’ and spatterin’ drives me mad
Love, love, love, love
This misery is just too much for me
Can’t go on
Everything I had is gone
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps rainin’ all the time
Keeps rainin’ all the time.
END
NOT!
Bavarian Love Barometer
Irma knew the Stormy Low, the Void, The Abyss, Love’s Lack
Until she met up in Time with our very own Mundanomaniac!
Then, her tempest tears tapered, the Sun caressed the Alps,
The Bavarian Barometer swelled, die Liebe blessed its slopes!
Top US Electronics Retailer Best Buy Stops Selling Kaspersky Lab Software
https://sputniknews.com/science/201709091057234876-usa-stop-selling-kaspersky/
“Best Buy said its decision was prompted by media reports, congressional testimony and industry discussions that raised concerns about Kaspersky, the Star Tribune reported on Friday, citing a company spokesperson.
The US retailer has not conducted its own investigation into whether Kaspersky has any links to the Russian government.”
So best buy is owned/run by zionazis. I will be boycotting their business from now on. Have not bought anything from them in years, though, so no biggie anyway.
Bring the zionazis to their knees. Then yank their heads into the latrine of “popularity” in tastes and products they use to turn human potential into raw sewage.
Nice Try, Worst Buy!
Piss on them and the useless sh*t they sell.
I’ll go to Frys and let them go to frickin’ hell.
Fools! Realize “Russia” is now the Best Brand
For Awakening Masses throughout the land!
