Saker Webmaster
This the earliest I’ve been to the opening of a new cafe; 12 views as of now and no comments. I want to memorialize it by posting this now. I know, I know, it’s selfish and narcissistic but so be it. Love, Dennis
Had a dream fore-last night
Drove a train In central terminal (in German Kopfbahnhof = ‘head- Station’)
the watchdog was behind me was calm and completely satisfied.
But that ‘s impossible I thought, leaving the engine, but the watchdog-authority
with a cap with a coloured bar-code around disappeared and the
officers I asked for the number of his didn’t react I urgently
wanted to tell him it’s a mistake, I wanted to learn but I don’t know how to steer an engine …
Not quite a dream, rather a thought about our dystopian future as I drifted to sleep:
Due to the proliferation of phones, tablets, and smart appliances, all masturbation becomes public masturbation. TPTB, who encouraged this culture in the first place (and the surveillance) decide “something needs to be done,” after witnessing one too many incidents of pathetic 45+ year old males. The mores swing from Pelagian to Augustinian (per Anthony Burgess’ The Wanting Seed), public service announcements are disseminated….
Part of a dream: Hillary Rodham Clinton was protecting her assets with gold. I got to quit watching Fox News.
Waiter ! give us something to drink and eat, but no alcohol, no meat, something sour and sweet. I found a paper on the table, with the following fable :
Love from Valley
What can I do, is there any help
When I fall in love with myself,
Being me, from number one to twelve ?
Me, myself and then the others
We’re the best of any lovers
It is not yet communal care
But, slowly it’s getting there
Take your mirror, as I do
In my mind, that’s true,
And listen to my commandments…
If you dare, then add amendments
But beware of your own visions,
I have the generals of ten divisions
On my side, the fierce great Army
That’s not peanuts, that’s not Barby
Love is in the air and that is mine,
Sharing it with you, for free,
Without adds and without fine
Just be my love and be my honey
With truly Love, from Vulva valley !
(PS. I hope, it doesn’t hurt anyone, from number twelve to number one)
Can it be, that the comments for the Parenti-piece are shut, or something like that, then
I would like to ask you, dear Mod. to take it into the cafe.
Thank you dearly
apologize,
here is it

sorry, it’s cause of the engine …

“U.S.-backed Syrian Kurds transfer Al-Tabiya gas field to Syrian government after talks with Syrian intelligence chief and Russians ”
https://syrianfreepress.wordpress.com/2017/10/25/kurds-transfer-field-to-russians/
“As we suggested before, Kurdish interests don’t lie with Washington but with Damascus, ready to establish a constructive dialogue with them if they stop being seduced by the US’ temporary interest in the Levant. So the Conoco field handover could mean that either the Syrian Kurds now see the writing on the wall (after observing events in Iraq) and know the US will eventually drop them (thus seeing the need to start directly dealing with Syria-Russia), or perhaps that the US has now been forced to save face and make good on its officially stated anti-ISIS goals.”

” But if indeed the Kurds are cutting separate deals with Russia, a US exit from Syria could be forced sooner rather than later.”

I think this article dovetails in with the one you posted.
Syrian Kurds: Our US Relations Are Limited to the Fight Against Terrorism
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201710281058623694-syrian-kurds-us-relationship/
Reading this, one can see why the Syrians are not panic stricken over recent kurd gains against daesh and that israeloamerican influence on them is less than zio-gay propaganda would have us believe.
Cafe Diary — Part 1
Ok, I just posted my early bird special, so I can relax and tell the backstory. I woke early as usual. Could have gotten up at 333, but didn’t. I did get up, and was sitting at the desk upstairs in my bedroom at 444. I checked to see if the new cafe was up; when it was not, I felt disappointed, and continued reading a packet of letters my sister gave me to read, from 1944 when I was 4 and she was 2.
Now I’m 77 and she’s 75. The mostly handwritten letters were from my grandmother, mother and aunt, some addressed to me, which gave me a glimpse into that long ago world, so different than ours now. In another 73 years, will someone be reading this diary, and wondering about us? Connections, connections.
There was a war going on in 43 and 44, two uncles on my father’s side were drafted, my father was excused, a dentist uncle on my mother’s side was being called; but oddly the war was never mentioned in the two or three dozen letters, so full of stories about relatives and their lives.
I went back to bed, got some sleepless rest, and got up again at 555. It’s superstitious, I know, but there’s a chance there’s more to it. 5 makes me feel alive.
Here and now, my brother in law, Ed, thinks the economy will crash next year, but doesn’t talk about the wars going on. My sister, Barbara, has a brain disorder, Lewy’s Body, akin to Parkinson’s. She’s slowed down but seems as alert as ever. She’s the nicest, kindest person around, but doesn’t get involved in war talk.
The World Series is playing on the big TV on the porch and the small one in the kitchen. I stop by and watch occasionally; fascinated by the colorful and intimate details of such advanced technology. Ads are frequent but you’d never know wars were going on.
The weather has turned cold. Yesterday I walked in the drizzle with an umbrella, but only for a half hour, due to a slightly sore spot on my left upper foot. Always something which I blame on age. I wanted to get in two hours up to the waterfall but was afraid it would aggravate the foot and I won’t be able to walk much at all; thus depriving me of one of my greatest pleasures.
This vineyard diary is resembling those letters 73 years ago. Connections, connections. You are a much larger and distant family but the idea is the same. We talk of war continually here, even in the cafe, however; but there’s nary a word about the deep causes of war, unless it’s from me.
The closest anyone here gets to my way of thinking on the causes of war is mundanomaniac, probably because astrology verges on the mystic, magical and archetypal, a language the logicians do not know. But even he stays neutral and keeps a safe distance. He says the ten commandments of love are “a yoke too heavy to bear.” They said that about Jesus, a link to myself that drives Bro up the wall.
The ten commandments of love are an ideal based on reality, which no one, not even Jesus, fulfills perfectly. That’s the nature of an ideal ideal. Anything, even a passing thought in that direction helps the cause of stopping war. No one is forced to do anything; nobody has to change. I certainly don’t measure up to the standard; far, far from it; but without a standard, the trumpet is uncertain, and we go back to sleep.
I’m typing in the kitchen on Stephen’s side of the big white house. Comfortable and cozy but cold out in the dark. In this natural environment, I get revelation after revelation; and go from humiliation to elation, all in my own mind/body.
On the train over, and here until a couple days ago, I started to eat cooked food, thinking I needed to in the cold climate. Not true, which a couple of inward crashes in my economy hit me over the head with. I recovered by reverting back to my raw diet. Amazing, the connection between my body and food.
Meat is for killers; grain for workers; and fruit for lovers. God kicked Adam and Eve out of their fruit forest, and Cain grew grain and Able ate meat, which caused the war of brothers, with one killing the other. The story of history, being played out today in the slaughterhouses of Chicago and grain elevators of Kansas.
It’s 7 am and still dark out. I finished my drink of juiced kale and carrot. I did the juicing but no more; it’s too much work. When I get back to Ojai, my foot allowing, I’ll walk up Love Army River Road to the store, where they do the juicing. Can you believe the connections in a holistic world? I’m within easy eye view and earshot of Valley Junction where I can hear now the freight trains pass the junction where a perpendicular railroad used to go then, on the straightest line in the state, now a road that passes by this marsh. I connect Valley Junction with Vulva Valley 2200 miles west, and mentally walk in both.
Time to eat my breakfast of soaked buckwheat kernals, buckwheat flour, soaked chia seeds, jalapeno, coconut milk, ginger, garlic and coffee-grinder ground pumpkin seeds and whatnot I am missing. Delicious, nutritious, makes me feel ambitious. Man, my energy is different than when I don’t eat cooked to death food, that destroys the finer vibrations.
If I want to stop war, I need finely tuned vibrations for the highest parts of my cortex, where the nerves connect directly to my heart. The only cooked food I eat now is small bags of green tea, for energy and digestion. I’m back on track with the Love Army’s first two divisions: to “think love, and to eat and drink love.” I feel great because I’m stopping war in its tracks, at least the war in me, as well as the war out there.
I’m going to post in parts, because I hate to lose everything by touching the wrong thing, and the resulting cussing and fussing that ensues–bad vibes from my shadowland unconscious. See you later, Florida alligator from a desert submarine Wisconsin sublimator.
Love, Dennis
bible gives the commandments twice, and each differs from the other…so which is it? Is both – It is a signal that Law may be, but Ethics is situational…and thus The Law requires interpretation…as the order is that Man must establish Courts, including the Gentiles…but need keep only Noahide Law (7?)
they don’t.
I finished my breakfast. Stephen got up and is now sitting across this cafe table, mirroring you in our vineyard cafe. He’s talking even now about getting up, and wondering why he is wasting time looking into his computer. He just strongly shut the computer down, and is talking of this strange addiction. “What’s there for you? Nothing. It’s an illusion, the matrix.” I’m playing secretary to his dictation, laughing to myself, at the irony of it all. Talk about synchronicity. He’s going over to the warehouse, to get a big bag of cranberries for his lady friend’s friend.
I’m sure that’s more than you want to know, completely irrelevant nonsense. I was listening and watching Michael Parenti, linked to by Saker, which led me into the woods of his videos. Stephen got interested, and researched him. So the magic world goes: whirling, spinning and always winning.
mundo asks the mods if the comments are shut; and if so, can they be posted in the cafe. His dream reminds me of mine: a group of bicycle riders got lifted up high in the air, pedaling on the wind, and then glided down to earth. What?

Clarification and correction of the French edition of “Sous notre yeux”
The publicity and distribution of Thierry Meyssan’s book “Before Our Eyes” leaves no doubt that the people and companies mentioned there have been aware of it. None challenged the facts as they relate. The limitation period of the various French editions is now closed. They can no longer take legal action. However, the names of secondary personalities had been masked and a transcription error of proper names was found. We publish this addendum.

At the publication of the French edition of Sous notre yeux. From September 11 to Donald Trump , the publisher and the author agreed to erase various proper names so as not to incur legal proceedings of which only the publisher would have been responsible, the author living outside the European Union .
The publisher and the author have agreed to strike only names of personalities playing a secondary role in the narrative. The limitation period being largely closed, none of the main personalities, whose name was published, disputed the facts recounted in the book. This is particularly the case of the French Laurent Fabius, Alain Juppe, Bernard Kouchner, Francois Hollande, Bernard-Henri Levy, Benoît Puga, Ségolène Royal and Nicolas Sarkozy. This is also the case of foreign personalities living in France such as Burhan Ghalioum, Basma Kodmani and Haytham Manna. Or multinational companies like Caterpillar, KKR, Lafarge-Holcim and Toyota.
Thierry Meyssan is therefore entitled to say and repeat in France what he wrote about them in this book.
For clarity of purpose we publish all the passages that have been partially scratched in the first French edition of this book.
In addition, a passage includes transcription errors of an original document in Arabic, creating possible confusion. We reproduce it here corrected.

pp. 66-67
In early June 2012, France and the United Kingdom participate in the meeting of the Working Group “Economic Recovery and Development” of the Friends of Syria, United Arab Emirates, under German presidency. It involves involving the Member States in the war by promising them loot. Several years earlier Norwegian companies InSeis Terra and Sagex had officially conducted hydrocarbon research in Syria. Although they reported having detected 13 oil and gas fields only in two dimensions, they had actually surveyed them in three dimensions and therefore knew the value of each one of them. Sagex was bought by a French-US company listed in London, CGG Veritas, then absorbed by the Schlumberger group, three states are soon in possession of this valuable information, but still not Syria who will not know that in 2013. According to this research, Syria has a basement at least as rich as that of Qatar. The United Kingdom brings Osama Al-Kadi, a British Gas executive, to the Syrian National Council. With his help, Paris and London give the presents concessions on the future exploitation of a country they have not yet conquered .
Hidden names in the first part of the book
p. 26-27
While still Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy initiates contacts with Abdullah Senussi, the head of Libyan interior secret services and brother-in-law of Muammar Gaddafi. He was sentenced in absentia in France for his role in the bombing of the 772 UTA flight, which killed 170 people in 1989 during the Chad war. Libya proposes to finance Sarkozy’s election campaign in return for a promise of amnesty or a judicial dismissal. A delegate minister and Sarkozy’s confidant, Brice Hortefeux, negotiates the amount with Colonel Gaddafi. In the end, according to the senior Libyan official who oversaw the transaction, the French-Lebanese businessman Ziad Takieddine transports 57 million euros to Paris.
During the election campaign, Libya observes that the socialist candidate Ségolène Royal could also win. Senussi then contacted the former Socialist Minister of Foreign Affairs, Roland Dumas, who – still according to the same source – came looking for 25 million euros in Tripoli, about half of the amount offered to his competitor.
French law prohibits the financing of electoral campaigns by foreign states. Moreover, the cost of the campaigns can not reach these sums. Sarkozy and Royal can not promise to fabricate a judicial non-suit except to despise Justice and its independence. They can, however, pronounce an amnesty, but not bargain for their personal belongings. Roland Dumas knows all the better that he was president of the Constitutional Council (1995-2000) responsible for ensuring the smooth conduct of elections. The French Justice will investigate Sarkozy’s mistakes, but not those of Royal.
p. 33
Nicolas Sarkozy and his Minister of the Interior, Michele Alliot-Marie, have full confidence in Ben Ali with whom they make personal “business”. After having built and equipped an Airbus A330 as a super presidential plane, they sold the two old aircraft intended for official travel. One of the A319 CJs was quietly removed from the inventory and sold to Tunisian company Karthago Airlines, owned by Aziz Miled and Belhassen Trabelsi (brother of Ben Ali). No one knows who is the lucky beneficiary of this transaction. After the flight of President Ben Ali, the plane will be recovered and sold to a gaming company in Singapore, then to Turkey.
(…)
The CIA then organizes a secret meeting in Cairo to which President Sarkozy sends a delegation including lobbyist Bernard-Henri Lévy, a former lover of Carla Bruni and Ségolène Royal. The Muslim Brother Mahmoud Jibril, who is the No. 2 Libyan government entering the room, becomes the leader of “opposition to the tyrant” on leaving. Among the Syrians present are Malik Al-Abdeh (a BBC alumnus who created BaradaTV with CIA and State Department money) and Ammar Qurabi (a member of a string of international defense associations). Human Rights and creator of OrientTV).
p. 39
On June 7, France24, which depends on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, broadcast live a touching phone call by Syrian ambassador to France, Lamia Chakkour. She announces her resignation to protest the massacres in her country. Although Renée Kaplan, France24’s deputy editorial director, swears that the voice broadcast is that of the ambassador she knows well, it is actually that of the wife of journalist Fahd Al-Argha- Al-Masri, speaking from another studio in the channel. Coordinated with France24, the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs then contacted all Syrian ambassadors around the world, announcing the “resignation” live of their colleague Lamia Chakkour, and demanding their also under penalty of being brought before the International Criminal Court . The real ambassador protests immediately and tries to get a rectification from France24, which of course refuses. When BFM TV gives him the floor, the intoxication fizzles out without any Syrian ambassador yielding to pressure. Never will the French Higher Audiovisual Council – appointed by the three Presidents of the Republic, the National Assembly and the Senate – investigate this matter.
p. 43
Combining business with pleasure, the Erdogan government offers Turkish employers a “gift” to Alain Juppé.
p. 45
It was only during this period that Nicolas Sarkozy became aware of Libya’s treasury: 150 billion dollars, including 143 tons of gold and almost as many tons of silver. Claude Guéant is authorized to send the former director of the National Police, the prefect Édouard Lacroix, to negotiate with Kadhafi a French withdrawal in exchange for part of this treasure.
p. 46-47
During the next five months, several French personalities move to Libya. This is particularly the case of lawyers Roland Dumas and Jacques Vergès. The two men propose to the Libyans to defend their interests and to lift the illegal freeze of 400 million euros of their assets in France. They demand to be paid in proportion to the amounts involved and leave Tripoli with 4 million euros in cash, as an advance. Subsequently, they send a handwritten fax to Alain Juppé asking him to specify the title of this gel. As the Jamahiriya collapsed in August, they will never accomplish the work for which they were handsomely paid.
p. 79
Francois Hollande, who spoke too loudly and too quickly, remains alone in the running. Powerless, he lands at the Elysee, while the word of France is discredited internationally. No one is demanding accountability from Turkey and especially from Anne Lauvergeon, Alexandre Adler, Joachim Bitterlich, Hélène Conway-Mouret, Jean-François Cope, Henri de Castries, Augustin de Romanet, Laurence Dumont, Claude Fischer, Stephane Fouks, Bernard Guetta, Élisabeth Guigou, Hubert Haenel, Jean-Pierre Jouyet, Alain Juppé, Pierre Lellouche, Thierry Mariani, Gérard Mestrallet, Thierry de Montbrial, Pierre Moscovici, Philippe Petitcolin, Alain Richard, Michel Rocard, Bernard Rondeau, Bernard Soulage, Catherine Tasca, Denis Verret and Wilfried Verstraete, all of whom received “gifts” from Turkish employers on behalf of Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
p. 94
François Hollande is furious when, in February 2015, he learns the trip to Damascus of two senators, Jean-Pierre Vial (The Republicans) and François Zocchetto (centrist), and two deputies, Jacques Myard (The Republicans ) and Gerard Bapt (PS). A second trip, in September 2015, brings again Gerard Bapt, this time accompanied by deputies Jérôme Lambert (PS) and Christian Hutin (Chevènementiste). Then a third, in March 2016, brings together deputies (The Republicans) around Thierry Mariani, with Valerie Boyer, Nicolas Dhuicq, Denis Jacquat and Michel Voisin. And finally a fourth, in January 2017, with the same and Jean Lassalle (centrist). All except Gerard Bapt are received by President al-Assad.
The Socialist Bapt, too, came to do business. He represents the Grand Lodge of the French Masonic Alliance (GLAMF) – directly dependent on Prince Edward, Duke of Kent -, a split of the French National Grand Lodge (GLNF), created by Alain Juillet (former Head of Economic Intelligence at the General Secretariat of National Defense) on behalf of the British. He meets businessmen and promises them to have their names removed from the list of European sanctions, against stoning and bribes. Of course he has no power in this matter. He is accompanied by another crook, Jérôme Toussaint, now imprisoned in France.
No Dennis, wrong again! LOL.
But keep ’em comin’. I’m no spider and there ain’t no wall that I can climb, at my age!
But I can type….
You make some people want to quit, but you mostly make me want to smile. It’s just that a 33rd childhood does make for some tardiness and delay. No matter how early you get up…….my man!
And you make me joyful to type more! Thank Leary and the Lord! I was weary, but no more!
And I don’t want you to miss out, man! That’s all. LOL.
Dennis, Get Ready! There’s a Train A’comin!
People get ready, there’s a train comin’
You don’t need no baggage, you just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin’
You don’t need no ticket you just thank the lord
People get ready, there’s a train to Jordan
Picking up passengers coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board them
There’s hope for all among those loved the most
There ain’t no room for the hopeless sinner
Whom would hurt all mankind
Just to save his own.
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdom’s throne.
People get ready there’s a train comin’
You don’t need no baggage, just get on board
All you need is faith to hear the diesels hummin’
You don’t need no ticket, just thank the lord.

Doesn’t he realize he’s a dupe of a Zionist plot? (NOT!!)
No Dennis, stop it!!
Stop unhinged egoic “feelings” from running away with your brain, like a run away train!
But DON’T stop your mind from realizing that if Trump joins these two, and does a few other things (Glass Steagall is requirement # 1 without which you’ll have to walk to Wisconsin next time…..) the AZ Empire is toast. But maybe not your pension. If enough Americans wake up tell that idiot Bannon to Shut the F up about “defeating China”….and do a few other little things,, besides….

Wake up man! Wake up.
Only 1 week to go before Xi and Donald and Vlad could Do the Deal of the 21st Century.
Food is Chinese specialty:-)

The chicken/beef or any kind meat listed above are really soybean products and cooked in same way of famous meat dishes. You should try.
By the way, meat or no meat are all food of “god”. While many people in old age becoming vegetarians, but they enjoyed plenty of meat as every other people when they were young. Why not let others enjoy the experience of meat eating and make decision on if he/she wants to be vegetarian when the time comes?

‘Putin’s Revenge’ holds lessons about foreign influence for Canada and its upcoming election
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/canada-election-russia-interference-1.4375837
The short video trailer in the above link says it all.
I live in Canada. I despise this CBC intensely. They have this idea that they are totally unbiased and objective because their journalists are not allowed to have a political opinion. On CBC, the journalists are honest. Their lies are truthful. I cannot really explain how they pull it off.
Celine Galipeau is one of their best talent. She looks like she cares about each and every child dying in africa. Except that she is employed by a company that forbids its employees from having a political opinion. She can only read the news as it is created by the machinery at the CBC. Nowhere can I go to get her opinions.
What do YOU think Ms Galipeau? How come the whales are dying in the ocean? You have been feeding us lies for 30 years. Surely you have an idea of what is wrong with this planet?
The Forest Rangers was good, though.

There are a few words we can learn from our previous discussion:
From 男 or 男 子 (male) to 女 or 女子 (female)
Can you spot the word that is combine of 女子 in my favorite two songs:
My motherland 我的祖国:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za3ET-BGkYs&list=WL&index=10
and this one at “far away place” 在那遥远的地方. Two of three meaning of the word used in this song:
first that is very original and with background and English translation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p9eJsUDcJk
I found this gem,
Same song by 彭麗媛:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7KxL7e7nds
Here is the song’s lyric :http://www.chineselearner.com/songlyrics/folksongs/09.html
Here is one more in traditional instrument:

This one has better english translation. But the original song was about Tibetan girl.

as 鸡公车
公 has two meanings: one means public. There is another one, maybe you can find out. Hint: the second famous people in my link in previous cafe has this world.:-)
鸡公车 has another name very close to what you have said: single wheeled cart. See if you can fill in the blank: ” “轮车
Hint: 一 means one. but there is any other words put emphasis on being single. google the Chinese words for independence.
I will talk about now more female work in the field later.:-)
Sorry I meant to say there is one word stress on be single, and solitary. You can fine it by Google the translation for independence.
@ J … 周公 … The Duke of Zhou who died in 1032 BC
http://dictionary.pinpinchinese.com/definitions/s/%E5%91%A8%E5%85%AC-zhougong
So, 公 is public or communal but in the case of 鸡公车 has the additional meaning of a tribute to the Duke of Zhou, ? … who invented the wheelbarrow ?
Can 公 be a personal name or is it strictly a title of office. ?
Did 周公 have a personal name and family name ?
獨轮车 is a one wheel cart ? … I googled the Chinese and found this …
https://www.1688.com/chanpin/-B6C0C2D6B5E7B6AFB3B5.html
I’m learning but always need correcting.
Павел (Paul),
You are doing fine. There are a lot of stories/histories/rules behind Chinese words. You are doing great.
獨轮车 is correct. Well done! The modern ones on Alibaba seems more or people transportation, the original one was most used of carrying good, or some times family.
公 has a few meanings
1. Public,
2. respected of male figure (in aspect of authority) such as 周公. A father in law at male side can be referred as 公公 (the daughter in law will call him father), at woman side is referred as 老人公. one’s husband is referred or called as 老公.
3. male when used with a animal. 公鸡, 公牛, 公马.

When 公 used with an animal, it means male. (男 is used for human only). In this case 鸡公车 means roster cart (my own understanding). I have never able to figure out why, it may be the shape when a person push the chart, or maybe because the noise it made when carting heavy load.
I do see your translation that is what on internet. I can see it, however, I have hard time see it as used for public transportation.
So here you see the three meaning of 公.
@ J … 鸡公车 … Rooster’s Cart … during the night and early morning, hen and rooster perch on the handles of the cart. Early morning the rooster jumps off a handle onto the cart’s platform to crow.
The rooster crows … speaks from the cart, so the cart becomes known as rooster’s cart.
Павел (Paul),
Wow, Thank you. You solved the question I had since I was a child. I can even see it. Specially if the cart just carried grains and greens.
Now when you have time two interest word for you:
好 and 鲜.
The first word used in the songs I posted above. The second word used in the first food link (the first word of the page). You can do this any time you prefer. They both are very interesting and used often. It is also fun to see the meaning of two words that formed each one of them, and to see a small glimpse the Chinese culture.
@ J … I would like to know how chopsticks are connected to son 子 as in 筷子
… and … how 汉字 connects with cap (hat) … 字 ??
我明白的汉语 … 好, including the etymology combination of women + son = good or well.
鲜 I knew was fish, but what kind of fish. Was it a sheep fish ? (LOL) , a ram fish ? Is the phonetic ‘yang’ ? … so I had to research. Okay, so it is fresh seafood. Fresh is the key … and then I find “fresh flowers” … 鲜花 … which are not fishy at all, … just fresh ; ))
You logically thought and wrote, “Specially if the cart just carried grains and greens.”
Yes J … good observation and I will add that the 鸡公车 (Rooster Cart) would be the designated feeding location whenever the cart was/is not in farm use, because the food will be off the ground and remain clean, for some time at least, until the birds scatter it all over the place.
Павел (Paul),
子 in 筷子has not meaning, as it is in 女子 or 男 子. It’s a helper word. I did notice you used 好, But I am trying to say was female is 好, which is means good, beautiful, nice, fine and etc, but with emotion.
It used to describe the home sickness of the soldier in the first song (aka the second Chinese national anthem) with 好山好水好地方, in the second song it describe the how much the song writer liked the girl 好姑娘.
The lyric of second songs in English and you can see how 好 is the girl:
In a faraway place, there is a good (好) girl.
Whenever people walk past her yurt,
they all turn their heads to look longingly.
Her pink face is like the red sun.
Her lively and enticing eyes are like the bright evening moon.
I would give up all my wealth to herd sheep with her.
I would like to look at her pink little face
and her beautiful gold-trimmed clothes every day.
I would like to be a little sheep to follow her.
I would like her to brush me lightly with thin leather whip.
http://www.herongyang.com/chinese/Music/1937-Zai-Na-Yao-Yuan-De-Di-Fang.html
好 can mean “almost”, or “crave” if it is put in front of word that means desire.
鲜 mainly means tasty. Fish and Sheep makes things tasty. Chinese must have not domestic pig back then, otherwise, it would have been fish and pig. Of cause fresh stuff tasty too.
As for the 鸡公车 (Rooster Cart), I would be more like a place still holding hay. Old process method left a lot of grain on the hay, so I can see rooster get on it. Here is how chicken are raised, you can see many 鸡公 and 鸡婆 (they usually called 公鸡 and 母鸡:-)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6J0wSwfuCQE
you can call the 飞鸡 (flying chicken), which sounds same as 飞机 (flying machine: airplane)
J … your explanations are self evident.
You explain very clearly and you have me laughing … 飞鸡 and 飞机 .
When children want to ride 飞鸡 … Dad can ask, you have 飞机票吗 … 有票吗
Your translation of the famous song is excellent and I will write out a copy in Chinese and English to study and learn. All this information I do remember because all is logical.
….. 鲜 mainly means tasty …. Well, fresh food is very tasty !
I’ll be back …

‘Be Ready’: VP Pence Warns on DPRK as Nuclear-Equipped B-52 Readiness Expanded
https://sputniknews.com/military/201710281058628594-pence-warns-military-be-ready/
Let me paraphrase this traitor: “be ready, our israeli massa may want us to commit genocide for at any time now”.
There has to be a way to stop this madness …
Dear Paul, there are many ways, but is there a will, or the fear of crashing is so overwhelming for the Empire, it plays up to a point of no return ? In a couple of days, Trump will meet his Chinese counterpart, will it be the last meeting in terms of peace, in other words : this meeting is permitted by the guys from the basement and meanwhile they are ready for war. That’s a hard play and I don’t see any signs they are letting down. I would like to be more optimistic, my dear fellows, but I can’t. The unstoppable bashing of Russia, the constant fear of being replaced the god of all – the US dollar – the signs being there for all to see, the loss of face in Syria, the constant and renewed pressure on Iran and many other things, already written on the wall, has become a huge ballast on the neck of Empire. This stubborn behavior has become very dangerous, while time is ticking.
Madness creates conditions that make objective force that eliminates madness…film at 11.
This is say that we are watching the madness solve itself under the sympathetic eyes of Ivan and Chin…
Like all transition events this takes time and attracts passionate desires to stop Time…these fail, always – ask Macbeth…or Trump the Clown…
Moscow does not believe in Tears. Chin does not believe in Tears. Neither does LZ.

J … I have watched the video and consider this is Computer Generated Imagery (CGI).
Do not believe everything you see on YouTube.
If this were real, it would be in very high definition video format.
The Silk Road through Pakistan in reality is a very difficult task working across mountains and valleys, thus needing lots of bridges, massive amounts of “cut and fill earthworks”, but it will be built.
… in Pakistan traffic drives on the left side of the road, same as in England, Australia, Hong Kong and Macau. The CGI creators have made this mistake many times.
I think you are right about CGI. I was wondering why it was a low definition. The video did see it is Chinese section of CPEC. I assume some where in Xinjiang.
Would like to share an experience. Went to a big outlet electronics store to buy a Kapersky product. The attendant stated that they were told to remove all of their products off the shelves and were not to sell that product anymore. I was speechless. I asked the attendant the reasoning behind it. He stated that he told it was because of events happening with relation to Russia. I stated that it was beyond stupidity that this was done to a good product and company respected around the world. I left out of that store completely stunned.
Was it “best buy”?
you can get Kaspersky online.
Yes, and I am using the free version.
Yes, me too.
Works just fine.
Much of it is in Ukranian, which I don’t understand.

‘Felt like a slave’: Cleaner sues over alleged abuses at Netanyahu home
https://www.rt.com/news/408090-netanyahu-cleaner-lawsuit-claims/
“The prime minister’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, is the subject of a civil suit by a 24-year-old former cleaner employed at the Beit Aghion residence between August and September, Yedioth Ahronoth reports. During the month of employment, the woman alleges that she was subjected to abuse and humiliating treatment.
In documents seen by Yedioth Ahronoth, it is alleged that Mrs. Netanyahu engaged in a strict cleanliness code, meaning the woman was forbidden from eating in the residence and had to wash her hands “about 100 times a day.”
It is also alleged that Mrs. Netanyahu asked the employee to “promise that during her work she would refrain from going on vacation,” and told her “I love workers who run… that’s why I do not employ fat women.”
In the suit, the woman claims that the guidelines for cleaning in the residence were “extreme,” reports Haaretz, and she was left feeling like a “slave.”
Last year, the Jerusalem District Labor Court ruled that two former employees at the prime minister’s residence be awarded compensation. Both men cited abusive treatment by Sara Netanyahu in their claims.”
Those netanyahoo’s are true right-wingers, alright. But besides that obvious personality defect, I’ve noticed that the two look remarkably like pigs. I’m serious, look at the things in the photo. One can see the porcine facial features of both in the photo accompanying this article, run an image search of photos of the two together and it is even more noticeable. One will see how their faces look half simian, half hog. This begs the question: are these two creatures some how a result of breeding pigs with humans? A breeding experiment that went terribly wrong?

Some interesting history: powers was one of the lucky ones who survived being shot down.
The Secret Cold War Air Battles in the Skies Above the USSR
“In the early Cold War, on July 29, 1953, a pair of MiG-17 fighters from the Soviet Pacific Fleet were scrambled following an alert that an unidentified aircraft had entered Soviet airspace over Ussuri Bay outside Vladivostok. Coming in for a closer look, the MiG pilots saw a large four-engined US bomber 10,000 meters above sea level, headed toward Askold Island, just outside the Russian Pacific Fleet’s home base.
The USAF Boeing RB-50G Superfortress did not exchange any pleasantries with the MiGs, opening firing with its onboard cannons. One of the bursts hit the lead MiG, flown by 1st Lt. Alexander Rybakov, riddling it with bullets. Fortunately, despite the damage, the fighter managed to remain airborne.
Realizing that the space for dialogue had run out, the MiGs returned fire. In a few minutes, the Boeing, breaking into pieces, crashed into the sea. In the catastrophe, only one of USAF plane’s 18 crew, co-pilot John Ernst Roche, survived.
Two years later, in April 1955, another air battle broke out, again in the Far East, this time near Kamchatka. The US spy plane, a refitted RB-47E Stratojet, was destroyed following a short battle with a pair of MiG-15s. The plane’s three crew were killed.
Just two months following the Powers story, on July 1, 1960, a US Boeing B-47H Stratojet from the USAF’s 55th Strategic Air Intelligence Wing violated the Norwegian-Soviet border. The plane was intercepted and destroyed by a MiG-19 flown by Lt Vasili Poliakov. Of the US plane’s six crew members, two survived – copilot Bruce Olmstead and navigator John McKone. The two were taken prisoner, spending several months in a Soviet prison before being released in January 1961. A month after the incident, the Soviet side returned the remains of one of the crew members found in a search.
“Special attention is worth giving to a tragic episode involving an Iranian RF-4C Phantom II which invaded Soviet airspace in November 1973,” Stanavov wrote. The fighter-bomber, which had an American copilot, “caused a real drama over the skies of Transcaucasia,” the journalist recalled.
“The MiG-21SM sent to intercept the aircraft caught up with the intruder, and opened fire, shooting to kill, but none of the missiles hit their target. Then, the MiG’s pilot, Captain Gennady Yeliseyev, took a step that was unprecedented in the history of supersonic jet aviation, turning his plane into a battering ram. The pilot did not manage to eject, unlike the crew of the Phantom, and perished in the crash. The Iranian plane’s crew parachuted to the ground, were arrested and later released.”

Kissing Trump & Netanyahu mural appears on West Bank wall
https://www.rt.com/news/408156-trump-netanyahu-kiss-mural/
“A mural of US President Donald Trump sharing a kiss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has popped up on Israel’s security barrier around the city of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Tourists were snapping selfies in front of the painting Sunday, mimicking the kiss of the US and Israeli leaders.
Australian street artist, known as, Lushsux, told Reuters he wanted to draw attention to Palestinians being stuck in “an indoor prison” by creating the artwork.
Lushsux had previously decorated the separation barrier in Jerusalem with two other murals featuring Trump. One of the paintings shows the US President kissing an Israeli watchtower, while in the other, Trump is seen placing his hand on the barrier and musing: “I’m going to build you a brother,” referring his plan to erect a wall on the US-Mexico border.
“I just paint what I usually paint and maybe people will start looking at the background and looking at the razor wire and looking at people stuck in here, and maybe that’ll work better,” Lushsux explained.
In September, US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, told the Jerusalem Post that Trump and Netanyahu have developed “phenomenal” relationship, with both being “decisive leaders.”
Yes they do have a “phenomenal relationship”, but trump is hardly a “decisive leader”, he’s not even a decisive quisling. Just netanyahoo’s bitch boi.

Just like the songbird
Deep in the forest

But you never hear
Deep in my body
My song is silent
Yet content at
Times when you’re near
Please listen to me
And I will tell thee
All those words
That have never been said
They shout inside me
But then they cower
Behind weakness
That’s ruling my head
I dearly love thee
And not one other
With a sweetness
That lies in my breast
‘Tis you that made me
But God forbade me
To uncover my
Heart to love’s test
No love is sorrow
But now I’m happy
To have thee in
This world for my love
And now you must know
My soul is for thee
That’s why this life
Is my soaring dove

American Refugee Visits His Native Parallel Universe: Beauty and Horror
https://dissidentvoice.org/2017/10/american-refugee-visits-his-native-parallel-universe-beauty-and-horror/
“It’s one thing to read about the United States in the news every day, or hear about the growing sociopolitical insanity from friends via the Internet. It is another thing altogether to come back to the land of one’s birth and citizenship for a few weeks, and to observe it all directly. That comfortable feeling of safe distance that some of us who live in calmer countries (calmer on the surface, at least) cherish and hold dear is, after only eight or nine hours in an airplane, gone. There is an uneasy feeling that anything could happen – even out in the thinly-populated Northern Neck region of Virginia, on a small waterway which winds through woods and farms to the juncture of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay, one is far too close (three hours) to Washington DC and the psycho-vortex which seems to swallow, corrupt, and transform all clear thought into greedy self-interest and imperial cynicism.
The bewildering dichotomy between some aspects of everyday life here in the USA, and the political and social madness which so many Americans either support unquestioningly and vehemently, or bemoan as regrettable but unavoidable, puzzles me again on this trip. Here in beautiful rural Virginia the people one encounters on the street, in a bookstore or supermarket, are so much friendlier and immediately likeable than in similar encounters in Europe. After a total of 18 years as a resident of Germany I still struggle with the tendency of the majority of Europeans to avoid eye contact, and to look at me with suspicion or mistrust if I say hello. Once one gets to know them they are usually fine people, and very often I have more in common with them than with the friendly and acknowledging Americans.
But the social tradition in public there is utterly different, and it always makes me happy to be among these warm, open Virginians and Georgians and Tennesseans – although if we were to discuss politics or religion, my views would most likely horrify them. For a few weeks it’s enough to eat Mexican food or barbecue or crab cakes and oysters with them, buy beautiful big homegrown tomatoes at their vegetable stands, and listen to them play fabulous bluegrass music, with heartfelt gospel lyrics which often nostalgically move my atheist heart.
But the contradictions are myriad and mind-boggling. In a country full of mentally disturbed and often strongly drugged people with deadly weapons, a status mostly sanctioned by law, there is a constant obsession with safety in daily life. The majority appears to consider the laws in question logical and correct.
Many other things are startling to those of us who live elsewhere, even those like myself who come from this country. The number of enormously, hideously obese people one sees here cannot be compared with any other country on the planet, in my experience. Many of these people appear quite comfortable with their astonishing girth, wearing tight clothes that emphasize it rather than rendering it a bit more fashionable or less obvious.
One need not come here in person to experience the flag worship and military worship: we read about “taking a knee” and such matters in our own press, where the media find such matters fascinating. But for a visitor, the sheer number of American flags flying visibly here is sometimes overwhelming. I sometimes think that, since they are mostly on display for other Americans, this patriotism contest may have more to do, in some cases at least, with confused people reminding themselves where they are.
The tone, sheer volume, and vulgarity of much advertising in the USA is shocking to those who are unfamiliar with it. Although I am an American, I undergo major culture shock myself every time I see and hear it around me once again after a longer interval. While I generally avoid the commercial corporate media where the stuff is unavoidable, you cannot escape it here for long. I am always amazed at how accustomed and inured to it even sophisticated Americans of my acquaintance are. To me it is like a hard slap in the face, followed by revulsion and loathing. I live in Germany, which is a capitalist country with plenty of advertising. But in Germany it is possible, even on commercial TV channels and radio stations, to listen or watch for 15 or 20 minutes, sometimes even an hour, without being attacked by vulgar advertising. The short programming intervals between commercial content here in the US never cease to amaze me, on the rare occasions when I indulge in a bit of exploration through my mother’s hundreds of television channels.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Leads US President Trump to War
with Iran:
Can Generals James Mattis (US Secretary of Defense) and John Hyten (Head of
US Strategic Command) Prevent a Disaster?
https://petras.lahaine.org/b2-img/PetrasNetanyahuTrump.pdf
“Introduction
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Presidents of the 52 Major Jewish American Organizations are leading President Trump, like a puppy on a leash, into a major war with Iran. The hysterical ’52 Presidents’ and ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu are busy manufacturing Holocaust-level predictions that a non-nuclear Iran is preparing to ‘vaporize’
Israel, the most powerful, nuclear-armed state in the Middle East. The buffoonish US President Trump has swallowed this fantasy wholesale and is pushing our nation toward war for the sake of Israel and its US-based supporters and agents. We will cite ten recent examples of Israeli-authored policies, implemented by Trump in his march to war (there are
scores of others).
Conclusion
Trump’s refusal to certify Iran’s compliance with nuclear accord reflects the overwhelming power of Israel within the US Presidency. Trump’s rebuke of his generals and Secretary of State Tillerson, the UN Security Council and the 5 major cosigners of the 2015 accord with Iran, exposes the advanced degradation of the US Presidency and the US
role in global politics.
All previous US Presidents have been influenced by the billionaire and millionaire diehard Israel-Firsters, who funded their electoral campaigns. But occasionally, some ‘Commanders in Chief’ have decided to pursue policies favoring US national interest over Israel’s bellicose ambitions. Avoiding a catastrophic war in the Middle East is such a case: Obama chose to negotiate and sign a nuclear accord with Iran. Tel Aviv’s useful fool, Donald Trump, intends to break the agreement and drag this nation further into the hell of regional war. In this regard, international opinion has sided with America’s generals. Only Israel and its US acolytes on Wall Street and Hollywood applaud the blustering, bellicose Trump!”

Ask Alice (Won’t help).
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice when she was just small
When the men on the chess board
Get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she’ll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s “off with her head!”

There is a Ukraine connection in the Mueller FBI charges against Manafort, Trumps campaign manager, who had $75 million pass through his accounts.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-30/paul-manafort-asked-surrender-fbi
“According to the indictment, between at least 2006 and 2015, Gates and Manafort acted as unregistered agents of the Government of Ukraine, the Party of Regions (a Ukrainian political party whose leader Victor Yanukovych was President from 2010 to 2014), Yanukovych, and the Opposition Bloc (a successor to the Party of Regions that formed in 2014 when Yanukovych fled to Russia). The two men generated tens of millions of dollars in income as a result of their Ukraine work. In order to hide Ukraine payments from United States authorities, from approximately 2006 through at least 2016, they laundered the money through scores of United States and foreign corporations, partnerships, and bank accounts.”
Just to be clear – Manafort’s current legal problems stem from the time when he was working for Podesta and the Democrats, not Trump. So the Russian and Ukrainian connection is a Podesta/Clinton?/Democratic one.
IMHO…..It’s all about connection, Pavel, but on whose terms?
Quo Vadis, Lonesome Love Train?
Many attempts are made and not so many stay together.
That’s why many trains that pass each other in the night,
May break up into their individual car parts days, weeks or….
Years later and connect again some day in the switching yard,
And share a ride they never, ever scarcely had planned before.
Thoughts, bodies or souls, the connecting, the unhitching,
The coupling, the togetherness, the isolation, the reunion,
The approaching happy whistle and the sadder fading one,
Rising blissful moon with Venus or the setting Lonely Sun.
It’s a miracle if one Love Train stays together to the very end
Of a continent, but if it should circle the whole wonderful world
And connect any and all by choice and free will and decision,
Each passenger choosing where to stop, where to disconnect
And reconnect again, then there’s a better chance of happiness,
A better chance that connections and disconnections are free
Because neither love nor dreams flourish with commanded coupling.
The decoupling in the switching yard is necessarily an open option.
So, let there be no mountain barriers, let no rivers stop the search
Of any car or person riding it to freely choose their own destination
Their time there, the hearts that keep them close in soul to any place
Or those that call to them from afar to set out on the newest journey.
Hopeful, not knowing what the morrow may bring in Salamanca
Buenos Aires, Damascus, Dakar, Grozny, Samarkand or Marrakesh.
One can like or leave the line, stay years in any valley, stay in or out
Of Steppe! These rails are Rivers that can float you uphill or down
Others have their separate will to travel with you or leave your train,
None are captive passengers: You choose to move on or to remain.
@ Bro 93 … I read you. We have a saying … “water off a duck’s back”. It’s how to survive. Not to let anyone get us down or vice versa. About the future, I am optimistic, the only real problem is deep state.

Corbyn snubs dinner with Israeli PM commemorating Balfour Declaration

“Jeremy Corbyn has snubbed a ceremonial dinner with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and Theresa May. Scheduled for Thursday, November 2, the dinner will commemorate exactly 100 years since Britain officially backed the creation of a Jewish homeland.”
The israelis consider the uk their colony, as they do with the usa. Hence their imperial response to Corbyn. Cheers to Corbyn, if more in the uk would stand up against the zionazi colonizer, it would break their vacuous rule very quickly.

“”Most Likely You’ll Go Your Way And I’ll Go Mine”
You say you love me
And you’re thinkin’ of me
But you know you could be wrong.
You say you told me
That you wanna hold me
But you know you’re not that strong.
I just can’t do what I done before
I just can’t beg you any more
I’m gonna let you pass
And I’ll go last.
Then time will tell just who has fell
And who’s been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.
You say you disturb me
And you don’t deserve me
But you know sometimes you lie.
You say you’re shakin’
And you’re always achin’
But you know how hard you try.
Sometimes it gets so hard to care
It can’t be this way ev’rywhere
And I’m gonna let you pass,
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell who has fell
And who’s been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.
The judge, he holds a grudge
He’s gonna call on you.
But he’s badly built
And he walks on stilts
Watch out he don’t fall on you.
You say you’re sorry
For tellin’ stories
That you know I believe are true…
You say ya got some
Other kinda lover,
And yes, I believe you do!
You say my kisses are not like his
But this time I’m not gonna tell you why that is!
I’m just gonna let you pass
Yes, and I’ll go last
Then time will tell who has fell
And who’s been left behind,
When you go your way and I go mine.

fyi fellas
A FILM FROM YESTERDAY AND AN AUDIENCE FROM TODAY
Berlin Bulletin No. 136, October 27 2017
Victor Grossman
With its theme a little-known event of over a century ago, the film was ancient in cinema terms, its rather unsuccessful premiere was way back in 1926 and the performance Monday evening marked an event even earlier than that, one which is rarely discussed and even less celebrated. Yet the theatre was sold out and the final ovation lasted many, many minutes, with some loudly cheering and many standing.
The film was Potemkin, its showing was almost exactly 100 years after the Russian Revolution in October or November 1917 (the month depending on which calendar is used). The place was the Babylon in downtown Berlin, near its eastern center, Alexanderplatz.
What brought so many people together for an old silent film on that drizzly evening?
The Babylon is a beautiful theater, designed by Hans Poelzig (1869 – 1936) in a style called New Objectivity – like the clear functional Bauhaus style but less angular, with rounded corners giving it a certain gentleness. His career and this style were ended by the Nazis, who liked heroic buildings; he died just before his planned emigration. A small anti-Nazi Communist cell led by a young projector met secretly in this theater, and it seems likely that a Jewish family once found brief refuge here behind the big screen.
The theater is the only one in Germany which still has its old organ, played between films and for old silent films every Saturday at midnight with no admission charge.
But the organ was not needed for this special occasion, the start of this autumn’s fifty-film retrospective of Soviet films to mark the centenary. Occupying the orchestra pit was an ensemble of 18 musicians, who all like to play for silent films and formed the Metropolis Orchester Berlin to accompany the film classic Metropolis earlier this year – and now Potemkin, with the original score, a highly dramatic, sometimes almost startling but immensely impressive music which has only very rarely been heard.
Of course it was the film which was the main attraction, a chance to see a work which is rarely missing from lists of the ten best films of all time, and sometimes the best five, but only rarely shown – and probably never with a live, skilled and enthusiastic ensemble like this one.
Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948) was commonly considered the greatest Soviet director, one of the world’s greatest. This film illustrates his exciting new development of film montage, cutting one film action right next to a very different one in ways aimed at linking ideas and creating emotions – for him the most important part of film-making. Potemkin illustrates this magnificently and – you could almost feel it in the air – the audience was caught up completely by the suspense, the emotion and also the message. It is the story of the Russian battleship Potemkin in 1905, starting with dissatisfaction among the sailors about mistreatment and disgusting meat filled with worms. When some of those rejecting the awful food and showing resistance are to be shot as a warning to the others, the whole crew rises in mutiny, takes over and steers into nearby Odessa. It is the revolutionary year 1905, and huge numbers greet them and mourn with them the death of the leading mutineer.
Then come the famous, amazing scenes showing the booted, white-uniformed Cossack military unit, firing into the crowd as its straight line marches unstoppably downward, mowing down those seeking safety, with many deaths and one amazing episode showing a baby in its carriage, with its mother dead or wounded, as it rolls perilously down the famous stone stairway.
It was and is a revolutionary film. A clever leftist publicist (Willy Münzenberg, 1989-1940) managed to squeeze it past the first censorship attempts in Berlin. To quote a major critic of the day, “We were electrified”. It became such a hit that it quickly moved from one small left-wing theater to twelve theaters all around the city, including the exclusive Kudamm. Though continually censored, cut and outlawed it somehow managed to break through to world fame. Forbidden at first in the USA – as a blueprint for sailors on how to mutiny – the great actor Douglas Fairbanks helped make it possible to premiere at the Biltmore Theater on 47th Street in New York in late 1926, and it won so much praise that Eisenstein was given a contract for Hollywood (which unfortunately resulted not in films but in unsurmountable differences). The film remained banned in Britain until 1954 and in France nearly every copy of it was burned.
In some cases it was the revolutionary music which infuriated the censors, yet this was one of the factors in its huge success in Berlin on Monday.
There has never been much doubt; this was and remains one of the greatest films. But it is a totally political film; why did it get so much applause from the very mixed audience of both young and old? I think it was not only the fame of the film, its suspense and the great live music in a beautiful theater. Among the old-timers, here in East Berlin, many had grown up, lived, labored and loved in East Germany, the GDR, which despite its failings and all too many hypocrites, dogmatist and fools also maintained for some of its citizens emotional ties to the old USSR, especially its early years, and to revolutionary traditions which have since largely become taboo. With them, I think, a certain melancholy, even nostalgia was mixed in their applause.
As for the young people, the kind that came to this film, there was a kind of yearning involved, not just for the excitement involved in it – at times brutal excitement – but for a dream expressed less in words than in the actions of the people on the screen, most of them not actors but everyday people chosen for their typical yet distinctive faces. Was it a dream of new mutiny against an aristocratic elite which still offers the wormy meat to all below it and smothers the protests of any who grow too rebellious? They have heard of the giant gatherings for Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn, many have taken part in human blockades against present-day fascists, now entering as delegates into the Bundestag, and they rejoiced, I think, to see rebellious seamen in a ship on the Black Sea in 1905. Perhaps they even felt somehow inspired.
They needed only to leave the theater to be on a square still named Rosa Luxemburg Platz – a place which was often enough the scene of angry demonstrations, both past and very recent. The spirit of Potemkin – and of some of the other films in this two-week retrospective – is not completely dead, and is as necessary as ever.
US mistakenly promotes Tymoshenko to Ukrainian president in rush to indict Manafort
https://www.rt.com/usa/408259-manafort-report-wrong-ukraine-president/
“The jury was apparently so eager to indict President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager that it missed the fact that Tymoshenko was never president. “At the direction of Manafort and Gates, Company A and Company B engaged in extensive lobbying. Among other things, they lobbied multiple Members of Congress and their staffs about Ukraine sanctions, the validity of Ukrainian elections, and the propriety of Yanukovych’s imprisoning his presidential rival, Yulia Tymoshenko (who had served as Ukraine President prior to Yanukovych),” the indictment it prepared against Manafort reads.”
Perhaps one should view this sort of inattention to facts as a pindo national trait? A pindo national attribute, this abhorrence of factual material, yes, definitely, but likely the defect is manifest of even a deeper mental and moral failure of which the usa prides itself as being the flagship example.

The Shocking Truth! BBC calling! BBC calling! (plus MI6/CIA/WAPO/Reuters)
Russia-linked posts ‘reached’ 126m Facebook users in US
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41812369
Hang on a moment, weasel word alert: ” Facebook has said as many as 126 million American users may have seen content uploaded by Russia-based operatives over the last two years”
So they may have seen it but it also allows they may not have seen it. Something undefined in between then.
“Most of the posts focused on divisive social and political messages”
“These actions run counter to Facebook’s mission of building community and everything we stand for,” wrote Facebook’s general counsel Colin Stretch, Reuters reports.
“And we are determined to do everything we can to address this new threat.”
So only these “Russian linked to the Kremlin” Facebook posts contained “divisive social and political messages” unlike any of the other 510,000 posts per minute from non-Russia linked Facebook users? Really?
“Every 60 seconds on Facebook: 510,000 comments are posted”
https://zephoria.com/top-15-valuable-facebook-statistics/
80,000 does sound impressive though until you read that is over a 2 year period.
There are 1440 minutes in a day, and these 80,000 ‘Russia linked’ posts were over a period of 2 years. This works out to 107 ‘russia-linked ‘ posts every day.
Not so impressive when you factor in those 510,000 Facebook posts every minute, or 7,344,000,000 per day.
7,344,000,000 / 107 = 6,863,551
Therefore 1 out of 6,863,551 posts were ‘Russia linked’ Facebook posts that ‘may’ or ‘may not’
have been seen by ‘American users’.
I am slightly under-impressed. Were you?

“The anonymous ‘professor’ who allegedly tried to facilitate a meeting between the Trump campaign and Russian officials has been identified as Joseph Mifsud, a ‘diplomacy’ expert from Malta who runs a training center for prospective ambassadors in London.
Federal prosecutors say the professor – who was not named in court documents but was identified as Mifsud by the Washington Post on Monday – had high-level ties in Russia and helped introduce Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos to an individual connected to the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in April 2016.
That Russian official was identified in reports on Monday as Ivan Timofeev, a program director at the Kremlin-backed Russian International Affairs Council.
According to prosecutors, the professor also passed on information to Papadopoulos about ‘dirt’ the Russians had uncovered on Clinton, including ‘thousands of emails’ they collected.

MOSCOW, October 31. /TASS/. Media reports about alleged contacts between former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos and representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry are groundless and ridiculous, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Kremlin refutes information on tour of Putin’s office for Trump’s daughter
“I can only say that it brings to mind the Children of Lieutenant Schmidt,” he said.
“People in the US should become familiar with our literature” to be able to understand what it means, Peskov noted.
“These are totally ridiculous allegations by poorly qualified people, and groundless, too,” the Russian presidential spokesman pointed out.
“We treat them the way that they should be treated,” Peskov added.
According to documents issued by the US District Court for the District of Columbia, while serving as a foreign policy advisor for the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, Papadopoulos maintained contacts with a certain professor from London and a female Russian citizen allegedly connected to the country’s leadership.
Papadopoulos is believed to have tried to use these contacts to arrange a meeting between Trump and Putin.
