Someone asked about Gayane Chichakyan: ? I don’t know what she is doing lately but her abuser at the State Dept., John Kirby , is now a military analyst with (CIA) CNN. Imagine my surprise as Paul Joseph Watson might say.
But…but… [sputter]… John Kirby? The guy who wore the football jersey to press conferences, and was visibly saddened when his questioners did not applaud in unison? Hired as an _analyst_ of _anything_? College football, maybe. Those deep state pockets surely no longer care how they burn their Monopoly money!
[I too would be interested in what G.C. is up to these days, she was damned good at a truly thankless job]
ioan, re Prometheus.
The following may not provide you solace (it does me) in the face of mortality but I hope you enjoy some of it.
Before watching the video it could be better to read the entire article from which the quote is taken:
http://miraclesforall.com/scientist-philosophers/
”
Evil and ignorance, in Bohm’s opinion, are a matter of closed mindedness or “darkness in the human brain.” It is the human ego closed to the Universal Mind, or supreme intelligence, who communicates through the mode of insight. Because of the low level of our ego development (our grandiosity, emotional fears and pressures, ignorant worldviews and gross extraversion), this insight is frequently deflected by a closed mind; the opposite being a mind open to interiority (not to be confused with inferiority). Yet, he reflects, nature allows humanity the luxury to make mistakes, because humankind must have the possibility of being creative.

He definitely got the bit about Gorbachev wrong but you will enjoy his reference to poetry.
Thanks Anonymous for the articles and videos, a lot of read and watch (and listen). First I made a short read and picked up this : “The consciousness of mankind is One and not truly divisible. Each person has a responsibility to achieve this and nothing else. There’s nothing else to do — there is no other way out. This is absolutely what must be done and nothing else will work.”
Last night, before I went to bed, wrote a poem :
What is in Your Mind
What is in your mind
When you’re typing with your hand
What is in your heart
When the world is breaking apart
Now, there is a lull
Just maintainance before it’s full
Now, there is a pause
They replenish and coming close
Closer to your mind,
Closer to your heart
Every day and every night
Trying to rip us apart
Not be fooled and be on guard
Every day and every night.
If you believe, pray,
If not, just say :
I’m the power, I’m my own
I’m just one but not alone
With many brothers in the world
Who are handling their own sword
And that sword, it is the Word !
We shall fight till bitter end
This is our strongest bend
What is in your mind,
What is in your heart
Everything will bind
This is just the start.
A charming poem ioan.
Of those who frequent here I consistently notice your egotism lowest of all but, as mine, still a mountain high.
Together, we all have so much to learn.
Yes, you’re right and Time is running so fast, woke up in the morning, it was spring, full of hope and blooming trees with thousand bees, got to dinner, it was summer, hot and dry, then autumn comes so fast, now, comes winter again, as uninvited guest. Before my supper, the year is over. Yet, we’re learning, without end. “Daddy, when I grow up, I’ll be wiser ?” – daddy couldn’t give an answer, he knew the kid must find himself that answer alone, stumbling on every rock, small or big, falling and standing up again…
Some more info today about that ‘coup’ or whatever in Lugansk (pop about 400,000):
http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/11/ukrainian-agents-haunt-situation-in.html
This operation, as it turns out, is connected to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Igor Kornet, who was supposedly dismissed on November 20th on the order of the head of the LPR, Igor Plotnitsky.
Today, however, Kornet announced that he had in fact not left his pot and, moreover, that he had ordered the arrest of a number of senior officials. According to Kornet, last night he presented LPR head Igor Plotnitsky with materials exposing the involvement of a number of senior officials in “criminal activities detrimental to the republic and the people of the Lugansk region,
Wackypedia says this:
Along with the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Republic of Crimea, the Luhansk People’s Republic is one of what the Ukrainian government calls the “temporarily occupied territories”.[10][11] Ukraine classifies the Republic as a terrorist organisation.)[12]
Never mind what wackypedia says, what authority does it have? Western created, and long ago, blocked sites it didn’t like, such as http://www.whatreallyhappened.com Its article is also very biased against the 2 independent states.
Is LPR actually under a coup as some msm suggest?
Who knows? Lugansk has had its problems since the get-go on various levels –assassinations both unsuccessful and successful being some of the more crude manifestations of something not right although the official “line” is always “nobody here but us chickens”.

MOSCOW, November 22. /TASS/. A Kremlin official dismissed as totally untrue media reports, citing officials close to Russian presidential aide Vladislav Surkov, about the Kremlin’s alleged “support of certain political forces” in the self-proclaimed Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) in eastern Ukraine.
“No source from Vladislav Surkov’s circle could say such a thing, because the events in Lugansk are a domestic matter of the LPR, and no one from Lugansk has ever sought support from the Kremlin,” said Mikhail Arutyunov, the head of the presidential administration’s department on social and economic cooperation with states members of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Republic of Abkhazia and the Republic of South Ossetia.
Tuesday’s report by RBC cited a source close to Surkov as saying that Moscow allegedly supported the LPR interior minister in his standoff with the republic’s chief.

“Breaking news has been coming in from the capital of the Lugansk People’s Republic. Since this morning, the center of Lugansk has been swarmed by armed men in uniforms without insignia, and the administration building of the LPR has been blocked off. This operation, as it turns out, is connected to the Minister of Internal Affairs, Igor Kornet, who was supposedly dismissed on November 20th on the order of the head of the LPR, Igor Plotnitsky.
Today, however, Kornet announced that he had in fact not left his pot and, moreover, that he had ordered the arrest of a number of senior officials. According to Kornet, last night he presented LPR head Igor Plotnitsky with materials exposing the involvement of a number of senior officials in “criminal activities detrimental to the republic and the people of the Lugansk region,” after which he ordered the arrests of the General Director of GTRK (State Television and Radio Company), Anastasia Shurkaeva, the head of Plotnitsky’s administration, Irina Teytsman, as well as the chief of government security under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Evgeniy Selivertsov.
The arrested persons, according to Kornet, were working on Ukrainian instructions, the aim of this group and other Ukrainian agents of influence being eliminating power rivals and purging the republic’s leadership of those in favor of a decisive and uncompromising fight against Nazi Ukraine.
Earlier today, I asked my contacts and friends in the Lugansk People’s Republic to provide their comments on the ongoing events. They confirmed the reports that were available then, i.e., those made by Kornet and official LPR media. According to my sources, numerous violations of the law had indeed been perpetrated by certain officials in collusion with their Ukrainian patrons. In particular, this concerns the LPR Prosecutor’s Office’s hiring of several employees from Ukraine’s Prosecutor’s Office.
This is not the first time that corruption and espionage scandals have shaken the republic. In October 2015, the then head of the LPR Ministry of State Security (MGB), Leonid Pasechnik, ordered the arrest of the Minister of Fuel and Energy, Dmitry Lyamin, over suspicion of the illegal sale of coal to Ukraine. According to the MGB, from January to September 2015, Lyamin had illegally sold more than 3.3 million tons of coal to Ukraine, which is more than 88% of the total coal produced and processed in the republic. The MGB estimated the damage caused by the minister’s actions to amount to 350 million rubles. Within several days, however, Lyamin was released on the personal order of Plotnitsky, and MGB head Pasechnik was dismissed.
In September 2016, my sources in the republic supplied me with insight into the real underpinnings of the “coup” alleged to be underway, parts of which were published by Fort Russ. Today’s statement by the Ministry of Internal Affairs reads similarly to the one from then: “As a result [of a coup d’etat], ex-Prime Minister [of the Lugansk People’s Republic] Gennady Nikolaevich Tsypkalov was killed and the deputy commander of the People’s Militia of the LPR, Vitaly Kiselev, was sentenced to a long prison term.” Tsypkalov’s murder was initially framed as a suicide – he allegedly hanged himself in his cell. We now know that Tsypkalov was beaten during interrogation and then hanged. This strongman, who was one of the founding figures of the LPR, never would have committed suicide.
According to Kornet, the officials among the higher leadership of the LPR arrested on Plotnitsky’s orders were behind this mock coup d’etat and Tsypkalov’s murder.
At the moment, conflicting information on the events in Lugansk continues to come in. Therefore, it is worth waiting before rushing to conclusions or making forecasts. What we can say now, however, is that in numerous articles for Fort Russ and The Greanville Post, we have repeatedly pointed out the negative, sometimes revolting instances of statecraft in the republics of Donbass, a point which is partially due to the infection of the Ukrainian experience of statehood. The situation in the LPR is particularly deplorable in this regard.
I just returned from a several-day trip to the Donetsk People’s Republic, on the experience of which I’m currently preparing a lengthy article. In a nutshell, I can say that the situation in the DPR is not impervious to criticism, but, first of all, the republic is developing and the standard of living is higher than in Ukraine despite the war and mass destruction, and secondly, the same cannot be said about the much smaller LPR. For example, roads in the DPR are equivalent to the best Russian standards (at least the central highway from Donetsk to the Russian border), the republic’s industrial enterprises are regularly running, and new factories are being opened. These are real achievements in light of the war. This is not the case in the LPR, where the state of roads (or what’s left of them) has not changed since the battles of 2014. No industrial plants in the LPR have been churning, and only talks of launching the first factory are underway.
In light of recent events, perhaps the backwardness of the Lugansk People’s Republic might in large part be due to the presence of a strong network of Ukrainian agents of influence hindering the development of the LPR. This is but one possibility. There are still many questions for the head of the republic himself, Igor Plotnitsky.”

On the central streets of Lugansk there are more people in camouflage than usual. But, in general, the situation in the city is not much different from everyday, all the services are operation in a regular mode, thus causing no discontent among the population, a source reports with reference to local citizens.
“The tension can be felt in the city on Kotsyubynsky Street and the nearby territory – that is, where the administrative buildings are located. The street itself is not blocked and civil transport passes along. In the city everything is as usual,” an administrator of a local public source said.
Another resident of Lugansk, who wished to remain anonymous, told that all was calm in the city at the moment.
“We just worked yesterday, all day in the usual mode. The local market operates in full. The telephone connection is stable,” she added.
Interlocutors of the source from the LPR also say that the situation is absolutely calm. Nobody has been involved in the misunderstanding between the ruling circles.
“Everyone just knows that there is some conflict between Plotnitsky and Kornet,” a Lugansk citizen informs.
At the same time, the Interior Ministry of the Republic assures that the situation is completely controlled by law enforcement agencies, and the personnel of the Ministry continue fulfilling their duties.
DONi News Agency keeps following the development of the situation in Lugansk. So far, there has been no unrest or violence reported. The conflict seems to be in the process of peaceful settlement, thus causing local residents no concern.

“Later on the day, Igor Kornet also gave a press-conference, during which he answered questions of Russian and foreign journalists.
According to him, at the moment, measures and search activities are being implemented in the LPR to eliminate the remains of a large sabotage and reconnaissance group that has infiltrated the territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic. “It is high time the operational development, conducted jointly with the State Security Ministry of the LPR, was completed,” he said, adding that in the course of this long-lasting development “there had been identified numerous agents of influence of the Ukrainian special services, who had penetrated deeply into the authorities of the Republic……….The Head of the LPR, Igor Plotnitsky, gave a press-conference, addressing residents of the Republic and those following the situation in the state from abroad, namely, the Russian Federation, with a call “not to believe whatever is published on the Internet,” ”

A couple of weeks ago when those American soldiers got ambushed in Niger, the Military told the grieving widow that her husband’s casket couldn’t be opened. My first thought was that his head was probably not included. My second thought was that there were no remains at all in that casket. Today, the military announced that they found some more remains of the guy: bone fragments. So now I’m thinking they either found his head or this time they actually found his whole body and are shipping it back to add to his empty grave.
Old, old trick used used 50 years ago at least, in vietnam.
there’s even a sub-plot about this in the less well known (it was very early about 1978, not the huge 1980’s decade run) “The Boys in Company C” , where the officer instructs his crew to absolutely at all times ensure that a “non view” casket stays closed to everyone at all times, from the plane ride home to the burial.
Because bringing home the body is not what the prime purpose of the closed casket is for.

Russia’s Difficult Decision in Syria is to be Discussed with Ankara and Tehran
https://journal-neo.org/2017/11/21/russias-difficult-descision-in-syria-is-to-be-discussed-with-ankara-and-tehran/

Russia may have made a very serious error in not contesting forcefully the US illegal presence in Syria. It seems that this error has allowed the US coalition to control Syrian oil, thus depriving the Syrians and their allies with the source of finances to rebuild the country. Doesn’t look good. It would be very interesting to have the Saker’s view of this.
… very disturbing news indeed Dennis !
Ridiculous statement that the Russians should confront the US forcefully.
Secondarily, the oil fields are “held” in some places by Kurds.
Russia will move the Kurds out of the fields.
All oil inside Syria will be Syrian, not US, Arab or Kurd oil.
It’s merely not the first thing to take care of.
The oil fields, as a matter of fact, are easy to get control of.
And all the economic comeback of Syria depends upon it.
Reuters: “US-backed forces liberate Syria’s largest oil field in Deir ez-Zor from ISIL.”
But of course it should be “easy” to get it back…..
Russia should not confront the US with any strength at all–it would be “ridiculous.” It should ask “pretty please,” and the US will gladly oblige.
By “forcefully” is not necessarily meant direct Russian military attack. That’s how Americans typically think: “is there a problem? Well, shoot it!” The use of brain power offers many other options.
Hi Dennis,
The Russians have already announced publicly that they consider the US not capable of/not wanting to negotiate. Diplomacy has been extensively tried and found wanting—that is not to say that it wont be possible in the future, just that the US obduracy right now prevents it.
I personally don’t believe Russia should surrender any of its positions just yet, or pander to the US demands for compliance with its wants and needs.
We need a balance of powers in the world, think of the cold war when a fragile peace (of sorts) endured for long time. Not ideal, granted but it allowed us all to continue to go about our business and grow families, new ideas etc. It gave us time, fraught maybe, but able to be navigated and survived.
We are at a tipping point again now–it could go either way. My life, as you pointed out, has been a life of contradictions. I personally see my whole life as having been lived on the metaphoric ‘razors edge’ and I am consequently so at home there that I that I wouldn’t want it any other way now. I expect to die that way too, because it is inevitable and unavoidable and I will be happy with it whichever way it tips. Its out of my hands anyway—that’s why I consider myself agnostic and not atheist. There is little point in choosing a particular path when the conscious endpoint is the same.
To me it makes more sense to work with what I have and am familiar with (myself and all that encompasses) and make peace with that. I am complicated–so is everyone else. I am happy whether on the via negative or in my case the tech road. In my case the road to hell is allowing someone else to make decisions for me, at least those decisions which are supposedly within my control. I’ll maybe accept a subtle hint but not a fist to the face because I like to maintain my delicate balance. (Actually, I don’t mind a fist to the face either if I have previously agreed to the lesson, familiarity and all that)
Stories and conscious thinking are limited vehicles with which to express what I personally feel, given what little I understand of other peoples stories and thinking.
When I post a link it obviously expresses my thinking and feeling at that time, given what I understand of myself.
Here’s a lovely song, I like it because it expresses something of my experience, that has meaning to me and bears remembering. It is not directed at you, Dennis, in any way. You don’t have to listen to it or to anything else–most things are optional regards participation, here and in the wider world. if nothing else it is a banging tune, part of the soundtrack to my life. The visuals are of London where I live and consider home:

Yes Dennis, which is why I like so much “random crap” :)
It might be disruptive for a time but it opens things up and fills in some gaps.

They went the wrong way: should have gone West, not East. ;)
Yes and we know what happened to Motorola afterwards. So be very skeptical of anything reported by anyone.
My take since this is the Cafe and flights of fancy and fantasy are permitted so my analysis can be easily dismissed as such is this:
1. Moisgovoy gunned down with all his entourage—-Plotinsky and unknown state agency
2. Motorola blown up in his elevator–mob-oligarchy
3. Givi blown away by a rocket launched through his window ( Mossad does it this way in Gaza etc): Ukies and unknown state agency

Bitch Coin … again … theft of thirty million dollars.
Hackers have robbed the wallet of the 19th largest cryptocurrency company, Tether.
The company behind the dollar-pegged cryptocurrency blamed “malicious action by an external attacker” for the theft of $30,950,010 on Monday.
Tether would not redeem any of the stolen tokens.
Also … Mt. Gox, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges, faced bankruptcy after hackers stole $460 million worth of bitcoin in 2014.
By May 2016, creditors of Mt. Gox claimed they lost $2.4 trillion when Mt. Gox went bankrupt.
Only $91 million was eventually tracked down to distribute to claimants.

FUD and FOMO, the Ying and Yang of Crypto-Universe.
You learn a new Language first, starting with a few intriguing words or in this case acronyms….. then comes the Theory, then the Experience, the Learning, and finally the Wisdom, either through Bancruptcy……. Sucks Excess or something in between.
This is a multifaceted subject and like the Secret Space Program Full Disclosure Movement you will find a strong ideological contingent there,,,,,,in the Crypto-verse,,,,,,,who proport to be…..Against the Cabal ……Sympathetic to Russia……ANTI-ZIONIST.!!!!!……and view themselves as Good Humans in Alliance with Good E.Ts…..though when push comes to shove, some confide that neither the good E.T.s nor the bad ones “are really in our dimension”….but come in and out of it through another one.
Sounds a lot like Angels and Demons of Olde, if you ask me!
There! That should drive away most of the Competition, until the Price Breaks Through 10,000% and conversion to tangible assets is complete! (Just joking….)
I find amusing the olde fuddie duddies that think of Crypto Universe in excessively absolutist terms (usually, it is 100% ridiculous and insulting to them, because of their rigidity of mind whereas the giddy children that “get it” and hate and despise the “FIAT” that their stupid parents gullibly worshipped all their lives think of what Pavel calls Bitch Coin as…….. The Saviour of Us All, they being the Chosen Few that See the Light…….) and absolutely CANNOT relate to this fascinating development in the long human evolution of the Fake mOn-e Eye…….whereas the young upstarts are sure they will be rewarded with riches and fun, fun, fun (without ever really working……) which the Severely Out of It Boomers Know Nothing About…….kind of like the Living Dead.
Try to be a Bridge Between the Generations and prepare for a fascinating time overhearing the contrasting conversations as the two generational extremes traipse back and forth across your consciousness shaking their heads over what some other sorts of human beings actually believe or …….. stubbornly, blindly refuse to see!!!
FUD = Fear Uncertainty and Doubt, mixed with the Shaden-Freude enjoyed when Tether snaps and all held by it plunge into Crypto-Void and Mt Gox shows that after thousands of years “Gold Talks” and “Bull-crypt Walks”.
FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out,,,that got the hipster rubes and crypto geeks into tethering their futures to Tether in a Crypto Crevice in a Glacier on Mt Gox……….and how cool is it that the opposite ends of the crypto-spectrum of States of Mind perfectly rhyme! “Doubt…Missing Out”…….this will surely be the prevalent experience……and Rich It Will Be, indeed……in experience at least…..LOL.
Others that Clean Up in Crypto Bits of Coin will step into Deep Doo Doo on their first real estate deal or two, as True Humility Must Be Learned…….at least by Journey’s End.

Thanks For the (Crypto) Memory (“Was that even REAL???”)
Thanks for the memory
Of things I can’t forget, journeys on a jet
Our wond’rous week in Martinique and Vegas and roulette
How lucky I was
And thanks for the memory
Of summers by the sea, dawn in Waikiki
We had a pad in London but we didn’t stop for tea
How cozy it was
Now since our breakup I wake up
Alone on a gray morning-after
I long for the sound of your laughter
And then I see the laugh’s on me
But, thanks for the memory
Of every touch a thrill, I’ve been through the mill
I’ve lived a lot and learned a lot, you loved me not and still
I miss you so much
Thanks for the memory
Of how we used to jog even in a fog
That barbecue in Malibu, away from all the smog
How rainy it was
Thanks for the memory
Of letters I destroyed, books that we enjoyed
Tonight the way things look, I need a book by Sigmund Freud
How brainy he was
Gone are those evenings on Broadway
Together we’d go to a great show
But now I begin with the Late Show
And wish that you were watching, too
I know it’s a fallacy
That grown men never cry, baby, that’s a lie
We had our bed of roses, but forgot that roses die
And thank you so much…….

In June of this year I suggested bitcoin was going to climb.
Now I say it’s going to drop. I think we have seen its peak.
The lack of support for the segwit scaling makes me think it’s already a relic.
Litecoin Dash and Monero should be okay.
Here is my question:
If Jesus really did suggest to get rid of all ones’ money, why would someone try to hoard wealth?
I think it’s because money allows us to be awful, there is no need to be decent, if we need no one else.
Crypto currencies, if able to dominate, will break double entry book keeping,
as there would be no more extension of credit.
For those who want to maintain their control, crypto needs to be defeated.
Expect more like mount gox. Many more. It’s imperative.
Oh Bro,
You are indeed the ‘eye in the sky’, I thought you were encouraging folks to get into cryptos, with personal experiences, a few weeks ago, Just tweaking the narrative to comply with current reality?
You’ll have to do better than that to ruffle my feathers.
And fear isn’t FUD you fool, fear is an ineradicable and very useful tool built into the system for the purposes of survival of that organism. Like all tools, its what you do with it that counts and that involves getting familiar with it in the only way that counts–in the organism. Some of us got a headstart on that with no say in the matter. I don’t like it directed, as all cultic orgs do, against me, or anyone else–that’s just basic bullying, not my Big Ego—so sneer elsewhere, please.

I think I know the answer to that one, so forget the ‘random stuff’ and I’ll see you at the venue, its on all my google searches and email which are open access now and have been for a good while already.
No contraband here, nothing to hide, I just like my privacy— so do one, for the Brit speakers here.
If not crypto, then what? Fiat dollars pumping wars overseas? Like gov currency is better??

Turkey is going DIRECTLY against NATO/US orders
Russian Air Force Tupolev-154 carrying Russian combat troops is now flying directly over Turkey from Russia to Hmeymim Air Base in Latakia Governorate, Syria.
No more detours over the Caspian Sea, Iran and Iraq.
Great news ! now Turkey should also allow Russian naval vessels through the bosphorus strait.
The Russians should be careful. HRH Sultan Caliph Kaiser-i-Rum, Erdogan suffers from bipolar disorder. His consciousness is currently playing the part of an anti-NATO leader. If the other profile of his anti-Russian consciousness kicks in, he might shoot down the Tupolevs. Going by the news, his anti-NATO profile has been dominant for quite some time. His anti-Russian instinct can come alive anytime soon.
What is Kiev’s objective ? … does even Kiev know !

Note the name of Sassoon. It’s a Jewish family originating from Baghdad which was recruited to run the Brit’s narco empire in China.
Also something for India from China: Miss India was crowned Miss World 2017 in Sanya, Hainan Island, China: http://www.syracuse.com/celebrity-news/index.ssf/2017/11/miss_world_2017_winner_photos.html
Indian women are among the world’s most beautiful!
Sassoon and a lot of Farsis (the elites who ran to India during the muslim arab invasion of Persia) who practice Zoroastrianism. Successful Farsi Indians like Tata and Jewish Indians like Sassoon earned their profits with the lives of poor Indian farmers and Chinese people. The British forced Indian farmers in North India to grow Opium which led to land becoming barren quickly and shortage of Indian staple food. Millions died in this forced famine in India and add another million body count of the Chinese due to Opium consumption.
@Anonymous. The body count of the Chinese due to opium addiction from the opium trade enforcedon China is estimated at up to 100 million till 1950 when Mao Tse Tung forcibly stopped it.
Miss India is certainly beautiful But I prefer the Russia blue-eyed blond contestant Polina Popova any time. Her eyes are like blue sapphire set in gold (her golden blond hair). She to me is the epitome of women beauty!
I saw a stray cat once close to where the refugee camps were in Calais. It was tiny, pure white and had one green and one blue eye. It was stunning, but still a stray cat and I wouldn’t smuggle it home with me.
Always stopped on the customs inspections, me, so never knowingly carry contraband. I must have that look about me that that says ‘crim’ to plod.
Thank the gods I’m old now with one foot in the grave.

Aunty BBC showed an Adam Curtis doc of the same title too, back when she still made some half-way decent stuff. Its on vimeo which I cannot link to, wonder why???
One Minion, you are old? Na, there is always a part of one that stays young and healthy enough to be positively active. And just to avoid guffaws from the voyeurs, I don’t mean only ‘that’ part.
Bah! – they’ve got the numbers. Miss Lebanon is much better, she should have won.
Miss Lebanon 2017? Na, too common. She is not the blue-eyed blond types that I prefer. Better still an emerald green-eyed blond, although she would resemble too much of a cat for some. Anyone seen a green-eyed blond? I have only seen one once in real life.
Hi Simon,
I wouldn’t attempt to explain Britain’s methods to you since presumably you are fundamentally aware of the history of ‘Perfidious Albion.’ She is an old hand at this. For others, there is a site and twitter feed called ‘Crimes of Britain’ which gets a lot of flack and is often down but then reappears.
China clearly learnt something from her long and painful exploitation by the west during Empire times. It was the East India Company (mercantile) that in fact first had its eye on India (jewel in the crown) and controlled the Raj as proxies for the crown by co-opting local rulers who ruled by ‘divine right’, largely. How else could this tiny island and few people subdue such a diverse and unruly population, so comprehensively, for so long? Backed by a small force of arms obviously.
Personally, the way things are going, I think we will have a form of world control eventually, even a world currency but not being either a prophet or a profiteer don’t really have an opinion on that. Britain has always quite sneakily admired totalitarian/authoritarian types, whilst proclaiming its own general benevolence. That system makes it so much easier to control the masses, you know.

In his piece on the October Revolution, the Saker said that everyone lied about everything, participants from all sides, and historians. How did Solzhenitsyn acquire the truth? (I understand the rest of his Red Wheel is finally being translated into English.)
In my limited experience, historians work by a process of dialectics, and as time goes by attempted synthesis. The causes of WW1 are a good example. And Stalin’s initial response to Barbarossa. I know of plenty of UK and US scholars working on the subject, some not obviously driven by ideology. Much of the argument has to be carried on by Russians. For someone whose Russian is exceedingly rusty, could someone recommend some modern Russian scholars without an obvious axe to grind (or a variety of scholars each with their own agenda not too well hidden)?

Wave after wave after quiet wave
Breaks on the hearts deep shore
Time slips away far across seas
Eternity murmuring in her sleeping
Breathing in the soft sea breezes
Quietening earth’s sorrowful sleep
Who sighs now with tears of relief
Turning beneath the suns dawning
Sunrise, sweet day, night has gone!
Thought Waves
A poet ‘s subtle lines
Lap upon our minds
With rhythm of breath
And eveness of pulse.
From distant littoral
Now at noon or dusk
In tune with tides
Of hopefulness
Its comforting caresses
So steadily arrive
And care for a world
Awakening, stirring
With calm purpose,
Thoughtful, and aware,
Mild, resolute, alive.
Another Day of Deceit.
——————————–
Robles: My first question is about “The Srebrenica massacre” and the way that the establishment manipulated the media. Can you tell us, or give us some insights, on that?
Herman: The Srebrenica massacre, actually I always put it in quote marks, because actually there were lots of massacres in the Srebrenica area, the one before July 1995 there were vast numbers of Serbs killed by Muslim, Bosnian Muslim, forces who went out of Srebrenica.
One estimate is that there were more than 150 Serbs villages that were totally wiped out and one study gives actually gives the names of 2,383 Serb civilians who were killed between 1992 and July, 1995. So then we’d call that “the first Srebrenica massacre”. Then in July 1995…
Robles: Just to be very clear, these were Serbs, that were being killed.
Herman: Yes! We’re talking about 2,383 Serb civilians killed before July 1995. And the Bosnian Serb Army took over Srebrenica in July, 1995, and there were deaths and executions after that. That’s what’s called in the West “the Srebrenica massacre”, but, in fact, that’s really mainly a political construct.
The numbers executed there were probably in the order of between 500 and 1,000. In other words, less than half of the number of Serbs civilians killed before July, 1995.
And the Western claim is that 8,000 men and boys were executed in the quote Srebrenica massacre, but notice these were men, always men, all men, they were all soldiers, whereas those 2,383 civilians killed included very large numbers of women and children.
We’re talking about the execution in the second massacre of essentially army people. And of course they had never proved that there were 7,000 or 8,000, even men and boys killed. The bodies in the graves added up to something like 2,500.
A lot of those bodies were combat deaths. One of the beauties of the Western propaganda system is that all the bodies they found after July, 1995, they count as executed, even though we know very well that a large number were killed in combat.
Reminder
Herman: Also another important fact about the Srebrenica massacre is that all those killings of Serbs took place coming out of an area that was supposed to be a “safe haven”. Srebrenica was a safe place, a safe haven. It was supposed to be demilitarized, but it never was.
So the Bosnian Muslim soldiers would come out to Srebrenica and they would kill Serb civilians. This is all completely ignored in the Western media. It’s as if the Serbs came in July and started to kill arbitrarily.
In fact, the U.N. military in that area, a French offical name Phillip Morillon, was asked by the Yugoslav tribunal, “Why the Serbs did it?”
He said he’s absolutely convinced that they did it because of what the commander of Srebrenica’s Bosnian Muslims did to the Serbs before July 1995.
This is the UN Army head, but you won’t see that in the Western press!
In other words, the first massacre is what led to the lesser second massacre of namely military aged people.
The whole business of the Srebrenica massacre is a gigantic political fraud. There was a massacre, but it was a responsive vengeance massacre, women and children were not killed.
One of the features of the “quote” Srebrenica massacre, that is the second one, is that 20,000 Srebrenica women and children were bussed to safety by the Serb army. Women and children were not killed, only military aged people and a very large fraction of those that did die, died in combat.
So my own estimate, as I said, is that maybe there were 500 to 1,000 executions. Vengeance executions.
Robles: I’m sorry. How many?
Herman: 500 to 1,000 I would say.
Robles: 500 to 1,000.
Herman: Yes. So there was a significant massacre, but put it in its context! This was a war, this was an army that had seen their own civilians massacred on a much larger scale. That is completely suppressed in the West, as if the Serbs came in to Srebrenica and started to kill because of a blood lust! It’s absolutely a fraud!
So, I regard the Srebrenica massacre as a tremendous propaganda triumph. The West wanted to go after Serbia and they avoided peace. They needed this massacre.
https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-srebrenica-massacre-was-a-gigantic-political-fraud/5321388
It is truth that Muslim forces committed war crimes against Serbs and that is exactly the reason General Mladic went there to clear that mess, and he never did anything against civilian population, in fact, they were allowed to evacuate… it is all well documented, no need to go there. At the end of it, so called “Srebrenica Masacre” is used to justify NATO invasion and General Mladic had to be found guilty. One thing is for sure, he had no chance of defending himself. Similar fate would await President Assad if Russian Forces hadn’t intervened. We are all very familiar with this scenario.
Another big problem with this mess is that it will smolder hatred for generations to come, and possibly be used for whatever perverse ends ziofascist find necessary. The damage is done, and there is no way to steer the ship into another direction.
My answer to Pavel and One Minion re: Soldiering for Empire must, for time reasons, be broken into parts.
We seem to have more Chinese here than Russians and that’s reasonable, as they are much more numerous in this world, but I’d like to see more Russians here as commenters.
I would say the best represented here per million inhabitants of their homeland are the Australians!
Well they made the movie that Ex-Paratrooper Mr Griffin from Britain reminded me of most, and here I link it dubbed in Russian, hoping to elicit their response to the grand dilemma of the Young Man at Arms, either in valid defense of Life, or in Mind-controlled Deathly Chains of Empire:
Breaker Morant, 1980
https://yandex.ru/video/search?text=правонарушитель%20морант%20фильм%201980&source=qa&oo_type=film&duration=long
For the complete enjoyment of russian speakers who read some english here, but could better enjoy the movie with voices in Russian………….
Morant and Peter Hancock, Aussies serving the Empire Cause in the Boer War in South Africa are sacrificed by Empire Deep State in diplomatic negotiations the Kaiser of Germany, and condemned to death by firing squad from their own army.
The ending is deeply religious….and Anti-Empire with some very fine Australian Irony:
“Sentry: Do you want the padre?
Harry Morant: No, thank you. I’m a pagan.
Sentry: And you?
Peter Handcock: What’s a pagan?
Harry Morant: Well… it’s somebody who doesn’t believe there’s a divine being dispensing justice to mankind.
Peter Handcock: I’m a pagan, too!
Harry Morant: There is an epitaph I’d like: Matthew 10:36. Well, Peter… this is what comes of ’empire building.’
Major Thomas: Matthew 10:36?
Minister: And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
https://youtu.be/BI7KJnRlsS4
Of course Morant was not really a pagan, he was just mocking the Evil of Empire that pretended piety and was the opposite.
Enjoy the Poem he wrote the night before his execution at dawn:
Butchered to make a Dutchman’s Holiday
In prison cell I sadly sit,
A dammed crestfallen chappie,
And own to you I feel a bit–
A little bit—unhappy.
It really ain’t the place nor time
To reel off rhyming diction ;
But yet we’ll write a final rhyme
While waiting crucifixion.
No matter what end they decide
Quick-lime? or boiling oil? sir
We’ll do our best when crucified
To finish off in style, sir !
But we bequeath a parting tip
For sound advice of such men
Who come across in transport ship
To polish off the Dutchmen.
If you encounter any Boers
You really must not loot ‘em,
And, if you wish to leave these shores,
For pity’s sake, don’t shoot ‘em.
And if you’d earn a D.S.O.,
Why every British sinner
Should know the proper way to go
Is: Ask the Boer to dinner.
Let’s toss a bumper down our throat
Before we pass to heaven,
And toast: “The trim-set petticoat
We leave behind in Devon.”
Note: the D.S.O. refers to a British medal The Distinguished Service Order. It is a middle ranking medal somewhere in importance lower than the VC but higher than a campaign medal. It is not necessarily a combat medal.

Sashastra Seema Bal to adopt orphan kids, train them for border watch
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/sashastra-seema-bal-to-adopt-orphan-kids-train-them-for-border-watch/1/1092121.html
“In a women & child ministry project, Sashastra Seema Bal will train young orphans and deploy them at the border.
Orphaned and abandoned children across India’s 9,000 child care institutions now stand a chance to serve the country as the Centre and the defence forces have decided to train the youngsters to guard the borders.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights is in talks with the Sashastra Seema Bal to facilitate the career of kids residing in child care institutions of the country.
According to NCPCR officials, the border guarding force will adopt such asylums falling in areas under its watch.”…
reminds me of the Ottoman Janissaries
Anon,
To on Sina, A article talk about the Pakistan Dam. The author did some research and of many things, said china did in advance let Pakistan decide if they want to include. So there was no issue. Pakistan has been very thankful for our help in the wars while the world abandoned them.There is nothing anyone can do to break this brotherhood. The commentators also agree, Pakistan is a equal country, they are entitle to their own decision. it is good to keep a clean and clear book between brothers for a long lasting relation.
SCMP had an article a day or two ago about Nepal’s situation. The election is coming… The project is not officially dead yet. The current government is pro-India (even so, they are still very close to China), the challenger is a collation of Pro-china parties. We will see.
Well the media wants to portray it as a fight between China and Pakistan to please a big chunk of idiots who don’t care to verify the reports.
Actually also the most of Japanese kamikaze pilots, who were Korean youth from occupied Korea, from what I learned recently from Korean.
Korea has always been a very close brother. According to a recently article, a Korean minister was totally disgusted by the Qing controlled China a few hundred years back upon his visit to Chinese heart land, and sworn to recover Han culture. That was how close China and Korea were.
Many Korean nevertheless, put up very difficulty struggle against Japanese. many(10s) millions men dead trying. Less than 50 years of occupation did a lot of damage.
Chinese was in decline at the time, and was not able to help like every last time Japan invaded. I believe one of the war fight with Japan was to help Korea.
That’s correct J. China helped to repel the Jap invasion of 1592-95. Pacified the Japs for over 250 years until 1853 when the Yanks forced themselves on Japan and revived their militarism and aggression.

Putin orders Russian companies to be ready for urgent transition to war-time operations
https://www.rt.com/politics/410646-putin-orders-all-russian-companies/
Hello there, wild, wonderful and wicked world; and vineyard-cafe portal to you. If I don’t hear about it on this grapevine, I don’t miss much.
It’s in the 90’s on this calm, cloudless and sunny day in Ohigh paradise. I rose late and had my two oranges for breakfast while catching up on the news here. At 9 I started my walk to the store where I bought lettuce and a red pepper to replenish my food supplies and tide me over from this pre-thanksgiving day in the States to Black Friday. While at the Farmer and Cook Cafe, I got a carrot, kale, celery and ginger juice. Got back about 11, did more cafe catch-up; and ate lunch of ground buckwheat and pumpkin seeds, with presoaked chia seeds, water, lettuce, red pepper, jalapeno, tomatoes, apple, cucumber, walnuts, raisons, vinegar, sesame oil and condiments.
It’s now 222, and I’m tired but not sleepy enough to lay down in the heat. When I don’t know what to do, I talk and listen to you–and am seldom disappointed.
Last evening, I attended a Hare Krishna meeting and thanksgiving meal; I am not a devotee per se, but I am intrigued by these old traditions and religions. The people are nice but hardly of cafe caliber. They fit into the category of empire subjects, according to Lenin’s dictum: opium of the people. I like to think of myself as beyond that, but who knows what’s cooking in my dark basement?
Thanks to one of you, I’m back to Miles Mathis. I read his article on Shakespeare. Only brain-drained academics, afraid to lose their status and paychecks, defend the man from Stratford. I’ve read the various theories of authorship, including Joe Atwill’s. Miles’ explanation makes the most sense. It was written by a committee of Peers and Nobles as lead writers, augmented by lower ranks, like Emilia Bassanio, the Jewess–for the feminine touch.
MM has outed them out as cryptic Jews, with an anti-Christian agenda. The authors used Shakespeare to turn the culture in their favor, while enjoying the humor that escaped the Christians. Same game is going on now, with far less finesse and more brutal force. The empire used to have to fudge, now they lie openly.
Then I went to Miles on the Vegas Mandalay hoax. Quite convincing, even that no one was killed. The motive? Money for the security firms, gun law restrictions and injections of fear for the masses. These fake events are part of the fake world we live in. The methods have become so subtle that personal contact or kill-contracts are seldom needed. The culture influences us subliminally, even here in the vineyard.
Even resisters of empire and globalism like Alex Jones are taken in despite themselves. Alex says he’s been offered big money from big people, but has turned them down. Is he earning all that money from selling supplements? I like him, like I like Trump because they’re so different from the spooks and stooges whom they are forced to deal with. You know, like getting a deal they can’t refuse (yet?).
Why is Miles outing the Jews? Is he himself part of a committee, or is he a genius on the order of a Mozart? I like him too because he’s different. Ordinary, good Jews are defended here, but from my experience, “birds of a feather flock together.” I’m all Irish and a former Catholic priest and monk. Despite evidence to the contrary, I am prejudiced to like the Irish and Catholics. So why wouldn’t that be the case with common Jews? The Zionist Jews are different, Jews are more clannish than Catholics, in my opinion; or is that my prejudice showing?
Miles also has a take on, in his view, the fake Robert Steele, who he claims is still part of the CIA, as a paid controller of the opposition. Once CIA, you don’t just retire and walk away, much less oppose it publicly. Makes sense to me but probably not to Bro.
J’s link leads to the India crime, shall we say, of using kids to guard their borders. Have they no shame? Would Hindu Indian Krishna do this?
one minion linked to Dropkick’s Rose Tattoo, which I loved for their Irish-ness and tough love demeanor, besides the great music and lyrics. I’ve been using Murphy as one of my characters in a novel; this might help flesh him out. The Rose is loaded with art and archetype, like me. And then a couple dots connected in my head over the term “lepretard.” I have been called that. Is one minion one too?
The link to Chris Rea and his Road to Hell song, courtesy of one minion sure had juice for me personally and as a critique of our cult of a culture. The bible contrasts the narrow way and the broad highway to hell; paved with good intentions of course. The Love Army shows exactly what that difference is in down to earth terms, with its ten commandments.
This Dennis agrees with Dennis (and Uncle Bob) that Russia make a mistake in Syria early on by appeasing the empire, and not taking a firmer stand.
Bro re-links and reminds me of that great video of Ben Griffin’s making of a British soldier. Especially poignant were the padres with their caps of “through God conquer.” I was a padre myself. When I was conscript age, I had a deferment for being a priest. Later I was a nurse in the VA, for returning Nam vets. Got to get busy on a new love theology.
I’m no soldier in the normal sense but I’m a wanna-be soldier for the Love Army. I fight on the level Saint Paul described as “powers of the air.” Jesus is still my spiritual war hero, but the real Jesus, not the fake one crafted by the Roman Empire to destroy the Jews intellectually in the information war. They scattered the Jews alright but only metastasized them, and now rue the day, in the Roman Jewish war replay today.
To the Love Army, the Zio Jews and Christo Romans are two sides of the empire coin. If the Jews succeed in destroying Christianity and its Civilization for their Greater World Israel, we will have met the new Multi-polar Empire of ZioSino China. Bro disagrees. It’s a good thing he doesn’t read my stuff anymore or I’d be a stuffed turkey tomorrow, served at this Cafe China, along with everything else purchased by China, and its Made in China world.
Now it’s 4 and beginning to cool down. Think I’ll go lie down and think of you. You’re the canary in the coal mine and weather-vane in the soul mind to tell me which way the wind is blowing. I don’t need a weatherman in this weather beaten cafe to save my day. On this Thanksgiving Day USA vigil evening Mass, I can only say “Thank You.”
Love, Dennis
Yes Dennis, born in London to an Irish mother and English father, so London Irish–a lot of us here, even have our own rugby team.
There used to be signs in windows of shops, hotels etc. stating “No Blacks, No Dogs, No Irish, so the Irish settled in particular poor areas of their own, just like the Jamaicans and Indians after them and the Jews and Hugenots before them. When prospects improve they spread out.
This has been going on as far back in history as is known about.
Here you go, Dennis, this is my favourite version of this tune— pipes of course:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xel7FZ_iEZU:
This video on this one with lyrics is a bit naff but then, for such a great blues voice, Rod Stewart was always irredeemably naff.

Of course, Dennis.
We all going to be old one day.
Some of us have that old uncle, every time you see him, he would say “did you ever heard about acupuncture, Yes? no? let me tell you.. it is from ZioSino China. Did you ever heard about .Ziosino China? Well that is the big giant country you never being too, on the other side of world….” The kids would say, “yes., yes Uncle dennis, we know the drill, since they work 12 hours instead of 8 hour a day, they produced more goods for the world than others, they made money. Since they made money, therefore they are Zio…”.
The father of a friend’s boyfriend had a Greek heritage and rather (a little) old. Every time the boy bring her home he had to apologize to her and friends profusely in advance: Please forgive my father, he is rather racist, he does not know any better about changing world, but he is a loving father nevertheless. He would not hurt a soul.
Many, many years ago, on the way home from college, the flood washed out the training track, I and friends had to disembark. The friends family was fairly well connected, so I tagged along and stayed with a family in town. The family’s grand father was very engaged with neighborhood youngsters, and excited discussing situation. I and my friend thought he was about 60 and awesome. A little later my friend asked me to guess how old he was, I said 60 something. The friend said he was 80. He was the principle of county high school (retired at the time). He seems not out of touch at all. we were in awe. I thought if I live that long, I will be like him, look forward to the next day regardless, stay young and never out of touch. I believe so far, I have being living it.
We all make our choices everyday and live it ourselves and impact people around.
Love, J
Or maybe not. I do need to catch myself as well.
“Multi-polar Empire” is oxymoron # 1
“ZioSino China” is oxymoron # 2
Pure incompetent inventions and figments of your imagination, Dennis, with no basis in reality. In fact there is ample evidence that the exact opposite is the case: The Empire Will Be No More if that which you lamely seek to counterorganize continues to gather momentum.
It is crystal clear that terrorism is deployed by the Empire to attempt to derail what Pepe and many other discuss here in detail in terms of eurasian development. And, curiously, you merge with that Empire survival instinct to Keep Things As They Are! Disconnected, underutilized, unfulfilled, controlled, enslaved.
Your Irrational Fear of Change is a mighty curious and incompatible bedfellow of “Love”, my mixed up man!
Why you choose to set yourself up so embarrasingly is a matter that those of us who have some care for you have reluctantantly concluded is outside of your willful ability to bring under control and correct. Sad!
My smiles from your comments are simultaneously sad for your person being left out of much joy that lies ahead for your fellow human beings but glad that progress is being made in laying the foundation (and the tracks) for a happier world you just can’t seem to comprehend or envision.
“Wish you were here!”
But you choose not to be, in solidarity with your Imperial Chains, which you have grown entirely too fond of, apparently.
May others less blind avoid the same sad path! And thanks for highlighting it for them, so that they can more readilty choose a happier one! A noble, albeit unconscious sacrifice!
“There is error.”
But that does not mean that there is not some good to be learned by observers of that error. There most definitely IS, which is why it is my pleasure, not just my sadness to converse with you in the Cafe. This consoles my sadness for your gentle, confused, unadaptable soul, and encourages me that learning is outpacing standing still.
I can’t help but like you Dennis.
I live in Ireland but don’t say i’m Irish. Neither do I fall for the old trick of Catholic or Protestant.
I do remember being called “Irish” one time and, because of that, being refused the sale of an Ice cream on holiday in Blackpool a long time ago.
I think that people who call themselves Irish or English or… are childish.

There is a giant unanswered question with Worldwide implications. Hopefully before the end of the year we will have it answered,”will Putin run in the 2018 Russian Presidential election”. There are rumors saying he won’t.But I can’t see how he could not. Russia and the World is in such a precarious situation.I would find it stunning if he didn’t run.Of course,people are people,and there is no certainly in life.But for someone who has devoted so much of his life to the service of Russia.To just leave in the midst of this crisis,would be so out of character for him.I can’t see him doing that.
Nutso or fraudster?
Flat-Earther to debunk round world ‘myth’ in homemade rocket
https://www.rt.com/usa/410616-flat-earther-rocket-launch/
For a lot less money he could learn to fly and buy a plane and fly to the edge of the world. Or buy a sailing boat and learn to sail and do the same (though best have an auxiliary motor in case the wind is blowing from the wrong direction at the edge).
Then once he has the shown that the world is flat, he could put the left over funds into building a rocket, travel to the moon and prove once and for all that the moon is flat, as well. Most thinking people already know the Earth is flat, it is educating the round mooners into changing their wayward ways that present the greatest challenge.
Trump’s FCC to End Net Neutrality
http://stephenlendman.org/2017/11/trumps-fcc-end-net-neutrality/
“He took the first step. On November 22, he’ll publish his plan to kill digital democracy, letting users access all content without restrictions, limitations, or discrimination, an online level playing field for everyone – on the 54th anniversary of Jack Kennedy’s state-sponsored assassination.
His plan will let ISP giants establish toll roads or premium lanes, charge extra for speed and free and easy access, control content, as well as stifle dissent and independent thought – a dismal prospect.
He’ll reverse Title II classification of ISPs, classifying them as common carriers, restricting their actions, an “information service” classification replacing it. A federal court ruled it’s less comprehensive, weakening consumer protections.
Free Press.net issued a stinging indictment of his policies since becoming FCC chairman in January, saying:
“(Y)ou’ve turned over our collective resource of the public broadcast airwaves to a company whose business model is built on tearing apart the fabric of communities by pushing racist fearmongering in the guise of news.”
“You granted Sinclair the ability to not simply broadcast this hate, but to maximize its already inflated profits by targeting its seeds of hate.”
“You’ve removed the last barrier preventing one voice from monopolizing every aspect of news production in America’s smaller communities, ensuring future generations will remain ignorant of the corruption taking place around them.”
“You’ve ripped away a literal lifeline to the world for millions of families struggling in ways you will never understand.”
“You’ve taken away basic connectivity to the forgotten seniors who worked their entire lives only to find themselves in abject poverty, failed by politicians like you who pay them cynical lip service and then spit on them when the cameras are off.”
“And you’re on the verge of turning over control of the internet on-ramps to a handful of companies so they can steal even more from their captured customers, and cut them off from the promise of an open and connected world.”
“You did all of this not for any legitimate public-policy reason; your actions will move us further from your own stated goals.”
“No, you are cruelly punishing the public and enriching the already fabulously wealthy in service of a radical and immoral ideology.”
Trump’s FCC has three Republican and two Democrat commissioners. Dem Jessica Rosenworcel blasted Pai’s plan, saying it “hands broadband providers the power to decide what voices to amplify, which sites we can visit, what connections we can make, and what communities we create.”
“It throttles access, stalls opportunity, and censors content.” It’s an affront “to the millions of Americans who use the Internet every day.”
Dem commissioner Mignon Clyburn said Pai’s rules “would dismantle net neutrality as we know it by giving the green light to our nation’s largest broadband providers to engage in anti-consumer practices, including blocking, slowing down traffic, and paid prioritization of online applications and services.”
On December 14, FCC commissioners will vote on Pai’s plan, approval almost certain with a GOP majority.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation said Pai’s plan “invites a future where only the largest Internet, cable, and telephone companies survive, while every start-up, small business, and new innovator is crowded out – and the voices of nonprofits and ordinary individuals are suppressed.”
“Costs will go up, as ISPs take advantage of monopoly power to raise rates on edge providers and consumers alike.”
“The FCC (is) abdicat(ing) a fundamental responsibility” to assure competition, along with “protect(ing) consumer” rights.
ACLU policy analyst Jay Stanley warned that “(g)utting net neutrality will have a devastating effect on free speech online. Without it, gateway corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T will have too much power to mess with the free flow of information.”
Congressional legislation can rescind them – unlikely with GOP control and Trump as president. Whether virtually certain court battles can change things remains to be seen.”
This is being coordinated with other zionazi information suppression actions at google, facebook and twitter where they openly suppress information sources labeled Russian, but that is simply a cover to suppress information from any non zionazi approved source.

How the FCC’s reversal of net neutrality may affect you
https://www.rt.com/usa/410577-net-neutrality-affect-you/
This zionazi quisling regime needs to be impeached in totality.
Ajit Pai and Nikki Haley have something in common apart from hating Russia
Fascinating when money wins out over basic political common sense.
Net Neutrality is the only reason someone like Trump had even a chance to become President. Imagine a world where ATT and Comcast decide that the only news sources that will load reasonably quickly on your device are CNN, the NYT, and of course the CIA house-rag the WaPo. Alternative sources, like say a new startup like Breitbart, would load very slowly if at all. The Hillary for Prez site would be very accessable and load lightening fast, but Trump website would load slowly and at times give lots of errors.
Combine that with Google creating special ‘algorythyms’ that always only find the Hillary and Jeb Bush websites but can’t seem to find any negative stories about either, and also can’t seem to find other candidates.
We’ve seen from corporate ownership of the ‘news’ that anything that would negatively impact the corporate bottom line does not get any coverage. The corporations clearly regard their purchases of pet politicians to be in the corporate interest, and thus anything that interfered with that or that might lead to alternative candidate gaining popularity would be seen as harming corporate interests and thus any manager of any ‘news’ division that didn’t celebrate the corporate-backed candidates and trash or ignore all others would quickly find themselves unemployed.
Trump is clearly just grabbing what cash he can now and cares nothing about future politics and or any movement that backed him because the alternatives were even worse. The Trump family will be richer, and even the highly limited and restrained American democracy will be a dead parrott nailed to its perch just for show.
This dovetails with the net neutrality piece I just posted:
‘By the people, for the people’: Kim Dotcom to launch alternative internet
https://www.rt.com/news/410606-kim-dotcom-meganet-internet/
“Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom says he will help facilitate an unobstructed internet, free from prying eyes, through MegaNet, which will operate without IP addresses.
Dotcom, who believes the internet to be a new frontier of rough-and-tumble lawlessness like the Wild West, previously described his alternative internet idea as “indestructible, uncontrollable & encrypted”.
“The current corporate internet will be replaced by a better Internet, running on the idle capacity of hundreds of millions of mobile devices,” Dotcom said. “Run by the people for the people. Breaking net-neutrality will only accelerate the adoption of a new network.”
The development will ensure internet freedom will become a reality, he added. “I have been working on this for a long time. Mobile networks and devices will be ready for this in four-five years.”
It comes as the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) plans to kill net neutrality next month.
Meanwhile, WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange has sought to persuade the Trump administration to maintain some form of neutrality by informing the US president that his opponents “control most internet companies.”
“Without neutrality they can make your tweets load slowly, CNN load fast and infest everyone’s phones with their ads. Careful,” he tweeted to Donald Trump.”
If only Trump has some common sense of science. He is a symbol of decline America. Big mouth, bit ego, no common sense. It remind of some other country too. But America at least still has some old strength to bank on. If it does not change soon, it will be India v2.
For more info:
Kim Dotcom wants to encrypt half of the internet to end government surveillance (FULL RT INTERVIEW)
https://www.rt.com/usa/kim-dotcom-interview-mega-673/
“In an in-depth interview, Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom discusses the investigation against his now-defunct file-storage site, his possible extradition to the US, the future of Internet freedoms and his latest project Mega with RT’s Andrew Blake.”
I wouldn’t trust Kim Dotcom too much. Beyond the fact that his silly name was most likely invented by the never-aging adolescent jokers in Langley, he is far too present in ZionMedia to be an independent actor. Just saying.

Interesting this is now out & being deployed; i remember mentioning this was ongoing about 18 months ago here.
only so far one can take miniaturizing, while expecting the same range, speed, etc. note it dropped only by 0.5 tonne, to 2.5 from 3.0 for bigger ship/land version.
The should try a slowpoke version, make it stealthy so it shows up no better than an albatross lost at sea, improving on the 75 year old german v-1 low octane gas & spark plug pulse jet, install a fast -reacting control surface to a super-accurate radio altimeter so it can sea skim, and see if they can get a 5000 mile range out of it.
fred,
Should we neighbors happy that you were not one of them design their weapons?:-)
With they looking through world for new weapons to buy, they have to have some ideas.
They will get it. it is much easier to spend money on weapons than on poverty. With the population getting to 1.8 billion, a lot of money can be generated, and fewer upper caste in ratio. They will have a lot of money for weapons, and limitless orphan and homeless for canon folders.
It is not going to be good for the neighborhood.
Impressed.

Hi Paul,
Thank you very much for that link, Just finished watching an absorbing and stunning film. Don’t feel qualified to comment since, apart from a group of Afghan chaps who ran a London café that I visited daily for some years– who were always friendly and helpful— the culture is completely alien to me except, through second hand eyes, film, etc. etc.
Consequently I did need subtitles and sound and also read a few available bits on the net. The filmmaker and writer is interesting and I think he did a fine job in conveying his stated intention for the work:
http://en.kazan-mfmk.com/archives/232
I will look out for his other available work.
EXCLUSIVE: ‘American mercenaries are torturing’ Saudi elite rounded up by new crown prince – and billionaire Prince Alwaleed was hung upside down ‘just to send a message’
Source in Saudi Arabia says American private security contractors are carrying out’interrogations’ on princes and billionaires arrested in crackdown
Detained members of Saudi elite have been hung by their feet and beaten by interrogates, source says
Among those hung upside down are Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, an investor worth at least $7 billion who is being held at Riyadh’s Ritz Carlton
Arrests were ordered three weeks ago by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
Source claims mercenaries are from ‘Blackwater’, a claim also made by Lebanese president
But its successor firm denies it has any operations in Saudi Arabia whatsoever and says its staff abide by U.S. law
Americans who commit torture abroad can be jailed for up to 20 years

Blackwater uses lawyer tricks, changes of name to baffle anyone interested in following their dirty trail. It makes it possible to deny responsibility for what evil they do.
I should spend more time in the Vineyard archives.
I spotted an article on Infowars that I might take as accusing my poem of last year as being a Left Coast/Left Wing attack on the Right Coast/Right Wing INFO WARS base, guiltmongering my “guiltmongering” of European immigrants to the New World that Take & Take & Take & Take like bad-mannered guests.
Not really. I’m not that big into guilt. Sexual, dietary, racial, or otherwise.
Mind-control using guilt is another matter. Those folks are driving consciousness DOWN, and THAT is devilish!
Another Exception is reserved for Zionists……LOL. While it is true that none living since the Balfour Declaration betrayed the body of Jesus of Nazareth they certainly are commited to hating and betraying the Universality of His Spirit of Love and Reconciliation. Hating Love does make you guilty, of some kind of stupidity, at least, in my book.
Hating the Sinner while ignoring the Sin, including that of your own forbearers (because you wish to cling to them, Sin and All, to find Identity for yourself) has to be an error. I see nothing useful in that attitiude nor in flagelatting myself for their mistakes!
We ALL make them. But I didn’t make THOSE mistakes!
I couldn’t. I wasn’t there!
I never stuffed my guts on “New England” corn and turkey or killed a single indian, but I do realize that my Mayflower ancestor (indentured servant….paid off his debt, got out of Debtor’s Prison by working 5 or ten years for a Debt-Free Family……..survived those NE winters….finally took a wife…) and his descendants probably did.
I am just mindful of family Kharma, mind you, not trying to spoil anyone’s Holiday!
In fact, I am of the persuasion that a little reflection may enrich a holiday with a little Food for Thought.
Plus, the simple fact is that Americans are prevalently over-weight, and let’s face it, GUILT can be an effective dieting device if coupled with the “Move More, Eat Less!” formula that is more effective than ALL the fad diets put together.
So, in that Spirit of Love and Thanks, I serve up last year’s Left Overs from Moveable feast Cafe comment I plead guilty of posting then:
/moveable-feast-cafe-2016-11-21/#comment-296788
Thanks-taking Day Dinner
Ever since before I can ever remember,
Something strange occurs every November:
Americans in various degrees of obesity
Hundreds of millions in the sticks and the city,
In honor of native Indians and friendship forged
Test how many thousand calories can be engorged
In a single sitting. Why this tradition of gluttony?
The hunger of William Bradford and Plymouth Colony
Is the usual excuse for all the fussing and stuffing
And football and family banality, signifying nothing!
Ever since Lincoln proclaimed the national holiday
On the fourth Thursday of November, what we weigh
After six solid weeks of stuffing our groaning guts
Is a dieter’s nightmare! It’s insanely, completely nuts.
All this caloric indulgence to repay our hero Squanto?
And the turkey’s GMO, thanks to good old Monsanto!
John Smith, why on earth did you kidnap that kind indian
And parade him about in London? He made his land victim,
To our never ending expansion, our avarice and our pride,
Joined Plymouth Colony, condemned his tribe to genocide.
Thank you kind Squanto, for helping Pilgrims to survive.
Neither you nor they knew millions more would soon arrive.
I realize there’s little remorse or shame, (“I wasn’t there!” ,
Say Americans today.) but I’ll be content with simple fare,
And try to give much more to a hungry world and make
What amends I can for others that could only take and take.
So, “Thanks-taking “ I call it, in a mood of repentance,
When my ancestors are called to account. This sentence
Isn’t without merit, in this century of collective forgetting,
The sins of Empire, the oppression, the evil bloodletting
The injustice at home and abroad. The taking and taking,
In all humility, has been revisited upon this republic, in spades.
All this to be redeemed only, by new generations, over decades,
If America saves its soul, cleanses itself, most solemnly atones,
By good works and deeds so long omitted by Mr. and Mrs Jones.
And Dennis, alone probably, can appreciate the Dylan humor semi-occulted in the last line.
You can guess the adjective in that title, can’t you, Mr Leary??
Back to the Future: How could I NOT dive into the PAST for Thanks-Taking Day Leftovers with that JONES name in the Last Word of the poem, especially given the fact that his hairy gut, which he bares a bit too often for my delicate aesthetic sensibilities, could stand some trimming down, by reduction of some of the Turkey and Trimmings…..for this whole coming week…….of Left-Overs.
Take those Right Turkey Wing Left Overs out of the Archives…..er fridge, A J, and warm them up in the oven, take down to the park where the homeless are, distribute with paper plates and plastic forks and knives….AND THEN: Go jogging for a few miles!
Please! (My day’s effort at employing Motivational Guilt….and ugly paunch sveldting….in the cause of MABA…………..Making America BEAUTIFUL Again…)
OK, so let’s see Who is Who in the Universe of Guilt-Mongering, according to the Video posted on Infowars on that subject Regarding Thanksgiving (Taking):
https://youtu.be/a33Fuz8wKDA
Not Bad!
Another “helping” of guilt (for guilt-mongering on Thanksging Day) please!
Like Dagfinn H ( A red headed superb Norsk athlete/Bering Sea crab fisherman instructed me on my first trip out on FV Pacific Viking) corrected me when I said “Pass the fishcakes, please.”…(demonstrating my dietary adaptability to the all-Norwegian crewmates and captain….) …….standing up in his oilskins minus jacket, and reaching across the Galley Table with a Viking Grin and Laugh, stabbing a stack of pancakes in the middle of the table with his fork:
“Don’t Ask!! Just TAKE!!!”
And that’s the “Giving” and the “Taking” of the Matter!
Thanks for the tip, it was a nice thing to read that whole page again, sweet memories. Isn’t it interesting that almost everything which has passed seems to be a bit better today ? I’m still missing Earthrise who was a very good comrade in arms and there was Helen too. Interesting discussions, some of them are still actual, like that of globalization. I do recommend everyone to take some time and go a bit back there, a lot to learn.
Hi ioan,
Helen actually introduced me to the site. She still reads but doesn’t write as she appreciates some the arguments even less than I do. ;)
Happy Thanksgiving to The Saker and all his friends!
Yes, I know, its a quaint old American custom, where we steal land and food from those who were here before us before condemning them to live in poverty for the rest of their lives, but we are polite and we do say “Thank you” at least on one day out of 365.
:)
It was a warm night, just over 70 F. The world seems to be warming up. Alex Jones has a “bombshell” report coming out of Russia: radiation from some kind of accident, floating west over Europe, and then into the jet-stream and over the whole northern hemisphere. It comes down to earth in certain places, like right on top of Austin, Texas, which freaks Alex out. I don’t see the story anywhere else. If true, it gives a whole new color to climate change.
I was just up and dressed, when I glanced at the clock, which showed 555. I felt alive. The sun was just lighting up the southwest sky; the last stars fading from view, as I walked among the art of stones, dolmens, circles, triangles and reminders of what’s for real in this radiated fake world of illusion and maya.
Not that it matters a whit to the rest of the world, but today is “Turkey Day” here in the states of war, outsourced of course. We call it Thanksgiving Day, an exceptional day for the exceptionals. They say 43 million turkeys are slaughtered in America alone, to offer thanks to God for choosing us. That’s not counting the ham, chicken and beef consumed in easy view of the TV football games. But not to worry: tomorrow’s Black Friday, when we can consume more goods from China containers, while lusting for obor to up the ante of consummation with its world wide commuter-consumption rails.
I’m debating what to do today. I could go to the Baptist church free meal in the park, and later to the Catholic free meal in the church hall. These were designed for homeless folks like I was in the day, but now seem open to all. Maybe there was something politically incorrect with the term “homeless.” Ironically, we’re now all homeless from our real home, the Love Bower. I’ll keep that in mind if I go “homeless for a day.”
The problem is that I’m vegan, and mostly raw vegan to boot. Perhaps I’ll quietly practice what I preach, and walk my talk, by turning down the meat, stating that I’m vegan. Will it make a difference? It will to me but who knows about others?
I made a connection between human radiation and animal eradication. Karma is a bitch, and cause and consequence a witch. When one species kills another wantonly, it gets killed by another species warrantly; in the case of radiation, the species is sub-atomic, more deadly than super-atomic.
As a species, we have chosen to go nuclear for power, rather than to a bower for its new-clear flower of love. There are stations of death all over the planet now, like Jesus’s stations of the cross, many like Fukushima smoldering and spewing slow death. And they’re but the tip of the iceberg from hell.
The massive body of an iceberg is unseen; like all those frozen turkeys, pigs, cows and chickens, waiting to be thawed so they can take their revenge on the humanoid stupidos. The Lords of Karma don’t care if we eat ourselves to death; or even if we eat each other (which we are doing meta-physically); their job is to apply the Law of Love.
The Love Army does care. It offers us chance after chance for the Great Romance. Jesus was a foot soldier in the Love Army of his time. He got turned into a God-Almighty Christ King– so now big institutions, using small churches, can serve me meat today. Jesus himself ate meat in the Jewish Passover ritual. Christians call him the Paschal Lamb and drink his blood.
Jesus was fully human, which means he had to make mistakes, like eating meat, and choosing apostles who would betray him. But were these mistakes or head-fakes to defeat the empire? I think the latter. I like to call Jesus She’sus because s/he represents all of us.
That’s a new theology which requires a clean, lean, green, mean, keen mind. Meat-eaters won’t get it because their brains are clogged at the higher levels. Pet owners and simpatico’s can’t compute it either for the same reason. That’s not to say they can’t be highly intelligent on less refined levels, or that vegans can see clearly; there are many other factors involved, principally the Ten Commandments of Love.
The sun is up, and I’m up in my cups. It’s 8 am. Time to eat my two oranges for breakfast, and in a couple hours my usual brunch. Then probably to the park for the homeless service and meal. Francis should be up by then. I’ve got to ask him if he’s going up to Apolonia’s tomorrow. We were going to go together, but Apple does not want to see me before the court hearing on December 5. If he goes himself, he can get the papers served on her; if not, I’ll have to do it by mail. I hate this court business, but like I said, karma can be a bitch. I need to switch the negative to positive; by loving it all, She’sus style–skip the crucifixion and go straight to the resurrection.
Today is the 49th week of the love calendar year, with the theme of G in the polarities of Positive and Negative. The Tarot card is the Devil. Here’s a part of the text:
In all of my travels I come to this point
Here are healed my travails out of joint
You twist and turn and put me through a wringer
I thirst and burn to be consciousness singer
You take her away and then you bring her
You’re gone for days and then you linger
When I fear to hit the ground in a negative G
I know you’ll be around as a positive me
I’ll remember your sound and springboard glee
With a trampoline me and bungee cord thee
When I jump on you and you come through
Love, Dennis, Ohigh, Vulva Valley, Kali-warned-ya, posted 8:33 am pacific…
Hi Dennis,
Today is indeed a fine new day. Happy Thanks Giving.
Love, J
Denis, neighbor,
your as personally sensible as collectively boring comments have never failed
to create the discernment in your mellow fellow neighbors. As today again in me,
your principal sentence above:
“It was a warm night, just over 70 F. The world seems to be warming up.”
lacks a little but crucial “My” instead of “The”
therefore your sensibility always ends in the deserts of your empty collective mantras.
Why empty? I bet, no real woman really likes your “Love Army” and would like to
follow you into the “bower”
and without woman love is empty, or?
It’s as strange as it seems to be for you as it is easy: If you adopt that “my” instead of the “the” suddenly you will win a world, fermented spirit of your current harvest
grape …
If true, this is Sad news from an article from CNN ..it is a long article which I would normally link except the most important paragraph is this:
“The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, based in Vienna, Austria, said Thursday that its monitoring systems had detected the noise referred to by the Argentine Navy.
On November 15, it said, “two CTBTO hydroacoustic stations detected an unusual signal in the vicinity of the last known position of missing Argentine submarine ARA San Juan.”
The sound of “an underwater impulsive event” was detected at 1:51 p.m. GMT (10:51 a.m. local time) by its underwater microphones, it said. The organization has 11 hydroacoustic stations positioned around the world listening for signs of nuclear explosions.
“Details and data are being made available to the Argentinian Authorities to support the search operations that are underway,” the organization said.”
thanks all, in my case mostly to ‘our’ small corner
thanks for, you know what? thanks for the warm
provocations by which one’s written Ideas
one is becoming able is for a coherent focusing
on an own mind
something like a gymnastic in focusing on
oneself, one’s lower soul, one’s higher soul
and one’s hunch for the gods.
4 is complete i like to touch that ground.
In his crazy way Denis is mostly right
about the voneyard-symbolic
and mostly wrong about love
The Jews are more than the zionists
and anybody has to study their greatness
and their secret to be able to attend
the greater planetary unity future
which the Russian civilization
already embodies with respect for
all religions, traditions (even denis’ mantras)
cultures, what was the fourth?
I mean VVP’s four respects and the strength
of such a christian respect in the head-team
of the word’s largest country is working for end
of war
while my astrology’s time, to open
someone’s door to a reliable astrological
conclusion, seems to be as far, as
before the cafe opened
but, for a later chronicle, our expression as
individuals alone is essence in fighting the
ultimate war anywhere even in our
speakers corner in the cafe vineyard
the really great week of three this year
get a touch of the future, radiating this week
“A Dense Week Packed with Chance for Head Hart and Mind
the Sage Walk with the Gods”

Happy Thanksgiving, Sakerites. Some interesting factoids on the holiday here:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-23/rediscovering-america-quiz-thanksgiving
Hope those of you in the states have a great time with family and/or friends. I’ll report on the American Dinner Experiment later, it’s usually pretty interesting. At this time of year, I also remember how thankful I am for all of you!
Hi. Just a brief visit here before I retire. Whether you celebrate it or not, I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving Day. I had a nice day. Had dinner in the park, given by a church group. I met many friends from the days when I was homeless. In the evening, had a nice conversation with a couple of residents here.
I especially want to thank those who replied to my comments. That you took the time to do so is a loving thing to do, and I feel it. I will reply as time and circumstance permit, particularly to Bro’s two oxymorons.
I just finished my delicious buckwheat salad, and am having my second cup of hot grain coffee. I feel comfy and warm, as if we are together in a real cafe, enjoying each others’ company, while discussing ways to stop war and start love. As they say, tomorrow’s another day, and I look forward to spending it with you.
Love, Dennis, Oh Hi from Ohigh, posted at 833 pm, 8 is great; two 3’s reversed and superimposed one upon the other make another 8, which makes 8 double great…
Dalai Lama recently said Tibet wants stay with China, and wants more development.
We will see Dalai Lama in China soon.
I was surprised by his remarks too. It seems Dalai Lama has understood where the money lies.
I believe Chinese government said he can go back to China if he stop his separatist activities. From what I read recently, quite some Tibetans in Nepal now has Chinese passport, some of those were protest in front of Chinese Embessy not many years ago. IMHO He want to go back before it is too late.
It is worth reading this colorful wiki article on the Tibetan monk so beloved of the west who brought tibetan buddhism to the the US and its movie stars – he seems an appropriate leperous messiah:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chogyam_Trungpa
Sometime in 1980s, I heard people talk about some well know violinist fled China on boat, and when people ask him about China, he reply only with “Mao writes great poem”.
There are plenty of people left in early times, and had they know to day, they would have stay and participate in rebuilding of motherland, make a lot more money in the process.
We are no longer living in 1959
It is also ironic that Buddha was from Nepal, Hindus has almost eradicated Buddhists, and the few left are belong to lowest caste, but India making claim to be birth of Buddhism and protector of Buddhists. Encourage Tibet separatists. It is fitting that today, Dalai Lama made his claim of Tibet wants to stay in China.
There are plenty of well education Buddhist monks in china who are not only good at literature, music, but also good at traditional medicine. If anyone can be a messiah, it is not someone scrump lure of western/urban good life(self centered), but the one concentrate on study, and heal the ill of common folks(selfless).
I guess we have very different standards.

I want to address Bro, and reply to his (your) post, regarding the oxymorons # 1 and 2: a “multi-polar Empire” and a “ZioSino China.” This is close to the heart of the matter, and the crux of our different positions on stopping the Empire’s war. You have identified the problem as far as words can do.
They both do appear to be oxymorons, but appearances are often not the reality. That is what I want to investigate. I’ll begin with the first: a multi-polar Empire.
The supposition is that multi-polar would mean more or less equally shared powers between many poles. The idea of Empire contradicts this. An Empire maximizes its power over all other poles, so that it becomes a unipower. This is the nature of Empire.
When I google “multipolar,” there is much confusion about where the term originated. I bear in mind that google itself is prejudiced by Empire. The very word “multipolar” is controlled by Empire through its mass media outlets.
During the Cold War the world was bipolar; now it is becoming bipolar again with two empires: the US and China. China projects itself as being humanitarian but it is using the same empire mechanisms, putting other nations into debt, for example. When viewed from the ground level of what is actually happening to people, it appears that the term “multipolar” was coined by empire to conceal its true nature, in order to sell it and have people buy into it; using the emotional appeal of a benign, authoritarian father figure, extrapolated to the State.
Is there evidence for that claim? Yes, if the idea of multipolar was genuine, wouldn’t super-rich countries like China or the US simply give poorer countries improved conditions, without imposing debt upon them, which will some day have to be paid by their children of today, or their property will be foreclosed and taken from them, for pennies on the dollar (if even that); in a typical bait and switch operation?
With the Love Army, I think the litmus test is still usury, or enslaving people with debt, in the history of the patriarchy pyramid model of reality. To break that cycle, usury, would have to be jettisoned, and empire would collapse itself, which it will never do.
The only logical conclusion is that the multi-polar world idea is a scam to fool people, and misdirect attention away from the real reality of a unipolar or bipolar world. With an even broader understanding, we can see that there are two classes: an unequal perpendicular bi-polar arrangement of rich and poor.
The coined word, multipolar, is indeed an oxymoron, designed to confuse people. Since the world’s news outlets are controlled by empire, with the power to marginalize views different from its own, the conclusion is that empire is once again controlling the terms of the debate.
Let that rest for the time being, and allow for contrary opinions (with evidence, please).
Now for oxymoron # 2: a ZioSino China. First, I have suggested and invited you, who ask for evidence, to google Zionism in China, or Mao and Zionism, or terms like that. Much information will come up about the Zionist and Romanist (Jesuit-Papal) long-standing influence in China. Also, bear in mind that Google is an empire outlet, and it would minimize the true situation, which would be more pronounced than the one it allows to be presented.
If you are not interested in doing this kind of minimal investigation, I cannot suppose you are serious about a rational conversation in this area. Therefore, I will save my energy and time, until I see there is a genuine attempt to grapple with truth. My claim is that the ZioSino China phrase appears to be an oxymoron, but it is actually the reality.
For those who think that reality is judged by materiality, you might be able to build a short-term case on people being lifted out of poverty, but that is quite tenuous; and ignores the millions of deaths and enslavements that underpin that illusion, as well as the progressing degradation of the earth itself, and China’s own history.
China is being robbed of its precious, traditionalist culture, so beautiful and true. If we were moving toward a multi-polar world, every effort would be to conserve these old and tested ways but instead, they are being thrown under the bus, or obor rails of progress to a techno hell of money and power–beginning long ago by the Empires of China, the Zios of their times. The task of our times is to integrate the best features of old and new.
Last evening a friend pointed out that Chinese children are being taught to speak flawless English, while with rare exceptions like Trump grandchildren and diplomats, English students are not being taught Chinese in their schools. If it becomes a “made in China” world, that may change.
Ironically, as the general population of China learns to speak English, and China comes to own much of the world, China itself becomes English, creating yet another unipolar world of language and money, now called a basket of currencies with a single Special Drawing Rights bank of banks. And guess who is behind this development? Hint: start with the last letter of the English alphabet.
Language creates culture. Zionists have known this for a long time. They created the bible to change the culture of the world. They created “Shakespeare” to make English the international language. They’re still doing it by creating words like “multipolar.” Romanists try to counter them, but Jews have a slight edge in intelligence, while Romanists have the edge in numbers and raw power. It makes for an interesting world game. Fortunately, there is an even higher game going on: called love, for short; until the new-new wordless language comes into view and general use.
In sum, there is confusion in presenting the two oxymorons together. A multi-polar Empire is indeed an oxymoron, but ZioSino China is not. Juxta-posing them is used to create confusion.
We need a whole new deal, using different cards. The Love Government with its Love Army, Bower and Cafe, is preparing for the day, when the Empire will be put away, and the Bower will come into play.
Well, I’ve gotten off track, it seems. But not really. I’m opening up new tracks in our brains for the new unipolar/multipolar world of love.
Love, Dennis, Ojai, posted at 8:33, the 3rd 8:33 or 833 in a row…
Is this the no nonsense Dennis proffering us unequaled clarity that cannot be said to be a weaker try nor a nice try? But what about the oranges and buckwheat, and did you walk among the holy stones of your shrine and lie on the alter before penning these wise words, and what was the temperature ?
FYI it is 2 degrees where we live in the UK, with frost and snow warnings. Warnings mind you. Some frost and ice and snow and the whole of blighty goes into panic mode.
Lovely essay Dennis, the most lovely, beautiful Well Frog view I have read.
1. “Chinese saddle poor nations with debt”:
I suppose the poor people of the world can stuck in poor condition for eternity until a Messiah come to give them free money. Thankfully most of the poor country d not agree with you. So the build road, ad factories with money borrowed from China to transport people and good to places of need. They make money, pay the debt, and development and prosper. Look at all those poor people from Africa and see how they feel about China. http://www.pewglobal.org/database/indicator/24/survey/19/
The only people spew the nonsense of Chinese putting poor country under debt is India, who incidentally, work its self up to a frenzy for exception of over 100 billion investment in 12014. Of cause, I expect it from you also….
2. “China is being robbed of its precious, traditionalist culture, so beautiful and true.” I have not read any Chinese saying this, and I read Chinese publications inside and out. What you do not understand is Culture is a living, breathing entity. It turns, adapts with a given time of the world, and learn from the best and make others own.
3. “Last evening a friend pointed out that Chinese children are being taught to speak flawless English, while with rare exceptions like Trump grandchildren and diplomats, English students are not being taught Chinese in their schools. If it becomes a “made in China” world, that may change.” Another well frog observation. I do not see any Chinese compliant about learning English. Most of best college, technical publish are in English, why can not Chinese children be taught flawless English so there can be easier exchange to the outside of world, learning new ideal, and technology? on the other around, not only Trump’d grandchildren learning Chinese, Your Queen, and the children of European aristocrats also learning Chinese. One of the greatest Investor moved to Singapore over 10 years ago so his children can learn Chinese. He twitted a video of his daughter interview him in Chinese https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSQanA3dlaM…Sorry, Dennis, I may give you another reason to dislike China/Chinese here.
Chinese do what they think best for them and their family not because some one else does or does not like it.
I can imaging the live in a well is very good life, calm water, predictable sunlit, and moss filled wall. It is perfect place for imagination. Dream up some thing original dennis, not parrot of Zionist propaganda. Or maybe your beef with China is same as Irish beef https://www.irishtimes.com/business/agribusiness-and-food/what-s-china-s-beef-1.3247237, or India’s not able to get money for beef?
Love J.
“Look at all those poor people from Africa and see how they feel about China.”
Here’s some a little closer to home:
“China is investing billions of dollars in infrastructure and developments in Sri Lanka, but many local citizens feel the country is being sold to the Chinese.
Normally the roads leading to Asian ports are bustling. Trucks loaded with cargo. Small shops where lorry drivers and workers take a tea break.
Hambantota port in southern Sri Lanka is starkly different.
Despite being open for seven years, the access road looks barely touched. And when we eventually found it (signage is not its strong point, and locals seemed pretty uncertain of its whereabouts too) ours was the only vehicle.
Except for the few security staff accompanying us, there was no-one at the site. A car carrier eased its way out of the port, after dropping off vehicles from Asia’s auto giants. But the next ship wasn’t due for two days.
And for a port that cost more than $1bn (£770m), that is just not enough business.
…
Hambantota was built by a Chinese company and funded by Chinese loans.
But now Sri Lanka is struggling to repay that money, and so has signed an agreement to give a Chinese firm a stake in the port as a way of paying down some of that debt.
…
The terms of the deal are still being debated in Sri Lanka’s parliament, but the share it gives could be as high as 80%.
“It is unaffordable for an activity that doesn’t bring any economic returns,” says Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake. “So that’s compelling us to look at options.”
…
“We wanted to show the world that we oppose this project,” says KP Indrani, who was injured during the protest. “We are not against development, but what they are doing is not going to be beneficial for us.”
…
But these deals look like Sri Lanka’s best way of paying down some of the $8bn it owes China.
…
The island’s total debt stands at $64bn. About 95% of all government revenues go towards debt repayment.
And when some of that money borrowed has been seemingly squandered on infrastructure that shows no sign of turning a profit, that is even more damaging.
At the international airport, barely 30km from Hambantota, just five flights take off every week serving just a few hundred passengers. Then there is a state-of-the-art conference centre that is barely used, and a cricket stadium now only occasionally rented out for weddings.
…
Many of the China-funded projects were planned and constructed during the tenure of previous President Mahinda Rajapaksa, and are located in his electoral constituency.
A new government came to power in 2015, pledging to reduce Sri Lanka’s reliance on China, but financial pressures have forced it to tow the same line.
It initially suspended a major project that China had invested in – a brand new city being built off the coast of Colombo on reclaimed land.
But the $1.4bn it was bringing in proved too hard to turn away, and development resumed last year.
…
Once again, the government has faced opposition. Groups of fishermen and locals have held protests and demonstrations.
Some are worried about the environmental impact of the project. They are not convinced by the studies done by government agencies, who have given it the all clear.
…
But many are also concerned about the growing Chinese influence in the country.
“We don’t like our land being given away to China,” says fisherman Aruna Roshantha. “Not just China, if any country comes and takes land from Sri Lanka, we don’t like it. The government should protect our land, not sell it.”
At the moment though, Sri Lanka’s government doesn’t have much room to negotiate.
And Foreign Minister Ravi Karunanayake says they need to welcome everyone with open arms.
“We love the Indians to come in, we love the Chinese to come in, we love the Japanese to come in. Koreans or European, we have no problem at all.
“We need to basically sell ourselves and sell on a consistent coherent basis, and make that economic diplomacy a selling tool for Sri Lanka.”
“
Ah, the “BBC” would say that (I can hear it said):
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40044113
And their option are?
Taking loans from the predatory organizations like World Bank and IMF and make itself another Africa or Greece? or taking loans from India if it could provide any?
Most of the articles opposing the port are from propaganda sites of the empire and it’s allies.
“And their option are?”
Cuba Is not part of the IMF, WB & IDB.

Anon,
Here is what your fellow Indian has to say about Chinese investment in sri Lanka:
India plays the great game in Mattala(where the sari lanka airport located, and Indian is desperate trying to get hands on):
http://blogs.rediff.com/mkbhadrakumar/2017/11/23/india-plays-the-great-game-in-mattala/
Here is what our favorite mk bhadrakumar has to say about it:
“The Sri Lankan elites are better educated, far more sophisticated and westernized than ours by a long shot and they know our motivation better than we do. Now, if that is indeed our motivation – spying on Chinese activities in nearby Hambantota Port or the adjacent sprawling 15000-acre economic zone – why should Sri Lankans play ball? Are they zombies?
They hope like hell that the Chinese project succeeds, because it can create tens of thousands of jobs in a near future. Sri Lankans are the only genuine votaries of globalization in our part of the world. And they are ambitious. If the Chinese companies can help their country to become a great trading nation, they will fall for it. And if our spooks sitting in Mattala airport’s control tower become a blessed nuisance, it is a matter of time before they get evicted.”
He also points to to article on FT:
China-owned port in Sri Lanka could alter trade routes
https://www.ft.com/content/f0d88070-9f99-11e7-9a86-4d5a475ba4c5
The Sri Lankan elites…. They hope like hell that the Chinese project succeeds, because it can create tens of thousands of jobs in a near future.”
The unemployment rate in Sri Lanka is lower than south Korea;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_unemployment_rate
Since, at least some, of the Sri Lankan non-elite population do not wish for Chinese investment the unanswered question is what is in it for the elite of that country. Why do you imagine the Sri Lankan elite have a care in the world for their non-elite and apparently already reasonably content with the status quo, er, brothers?
As Dennis says;
“With an even broader understanding, we can see that there are two classes: an unequal perpendicular bi-polar arrangement of rich and poor.”
That also applies intranationally, globally.
So, when you conflate the interests of the Sri Lankan elite with those of the “others” your opinion immediately has no necessary basis in reality.
No place can be more bipolar than India, and Dennis’s Zionist parrot now a bible of Hindu elite.
For some reason, it seems only Hindus complaint about other advancement while begging for money from the world. and use their toilet money for war machines, mobs, and meddling in the neighborhood.
You and Dennis can weep, and the rest of world marches on.
My Master in internationallity is VV Putin. By conceptual following him

Anon, By the way,
M K Bhadrakumar also talk about Nepal and Myanmar borrowing a lot of money from China for development:
China-Nepal ties are doing just fine
http://blogs.rediff.com/mkbhadrakumar/2017/11/22/china-nepal-ties-are-doing-just-fine/
““After today’s announcement, the focus could become greater on finishing the ongoing efforts the government is making related to hydropower. Nepal continues trying to solve issues related to electrifying the country, utilizing money already obtained.” Simply put, the likelihood is that Budhi Gandaki project will be revived at some point by the next government.
Unsurprisingly, the news made big headlines in the Indian media. China’s woes are always a matter of infinite bliss for our chaps in Delhi. That is rather surprising, though, for a Hindu nation – and that too, about another Hindu nation. (I read only recently in Swami Chinmayananda’s discourses, ‘Be openly happy in the joy of others; be sincerely sympathetic in others’ sorrows.’)
Some papers rushed to celebrate. The Times of India even cited “unconfirmed reports” to the effect that the Budhi Gandaki project “might go to India’s NHPC instead.” The paper dramatized that Nepal’s decision “could have far reaching consequences in the region and for China.”
Schadenfreude? Sinophobia? There are no easy answers.
But then, two days back on Monday, Nepal signed a deal for another major hydropower project with a Chinese firm – none other than the Leviathan known as China Three Gorges Corporation (CTGC). In fact, a China-Nepal joint venture has been formed between the government agency Nepal Electricity Authority and the CTGC for the construction of the $1.8 billion hydropower project, where the latter holds a commanding 75 percent stake.”
I swear Nepal want self sufficient on electricity and development so their sons can stay home, kick the Indian occupation army out, instead of serving in Indian army.
And here is what he has to say about China Myanmar Economic Corridor:
China’s Rohingya ‘doosra’ baffles India
http://blogs.rediff.com/mkbhadrakumar/2017/11/21/chinas-rohingya-doosra-baffles-india/
“However, the unkindest cut of all is that against this backdrop, One Belt One Road is lurching toward Bay of Bengal. Beijing has also proposed to Myanmar on a parallel track its interest in building an “economic corridor” under the Belt and Road initiative that will start from China’s Yunnan Province, go down south to the central Myanmar city of Mandalay, and further extend east to the new city of Yangon and west to the Kyaukpyu special economic zone, forming a three-pillar giant cooperation pattern.” (Xinhua)
Under the belt and road umbrella, Beijing has backed various massive infrastructure projects in Myanmar such as a US$7.3 billion deep-water port in Rakhine. Wang reportedly explained to the leadership in Nay Pyi Taw that “such a design is supposed to boost connectivity among large projects along the routes to have an integrated effect, and at the same time to boost balanced development across Myanmar,” A prominent Chinese scholar, Gu Xiaosong, head of Southeast Asian Studies at the Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that thanks to Myanmar’s geography, the country “serves as an important intersection for Belt and Road initiative” and the proposed economic corridor will “allow China to access the Indian Ocean more conveniently.”
Myanmar President U Htin Kyaw has responded positively, saying his country stands ready to join hands with China to speed up the development of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative and “also appreciates the proposal of building a China-Myanmar economic corridor, and intends to actively integrate with the Chinese side over the project.” Indeed, Wang also met Myanmar’s powerful military chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who in turn described China as “not only Myanmar’s friendly neighbor but also the sincerest friend.” (Xinhua)”
Too bad, Even Dalai Lama wants to stay in China and want more development…. read the lovely comments from Hindu fundamentalists:

Even worst, Indian wants Chinese money, but can not get it…
Yes the ZioChina phenomenon is absolutely true!. Increasing number of Chinese have started leaving their Confucius faith and returning to Judaism, their ancestral religion. “The truth is that those lost tribes of Israel landed in China and made China great” says Rabbi Deng Ben Modrachai, who teaches at a local academy for jewish learning. The academy is a fusion of Chinese and Jewish architecture. “One can easily walk on the busy streets of Bejing and spot Chinese male youth keeping curly locks on the side of their ears and wearing hats often worn by the Rabbis” says Ma Xilai, a local street vendor. Ma sells Hanukkah and other religious items and his business has started to take off, “next month me and my wife are taking a pilgrimage to the wailing wall” says the businessman who is in his forties. “There is a renewed interest in Judaism and couples are increasing going for the traditional jewish marriage” says Zheng FuQuang, another trader across the street from Ma Xilai’s shop, who does business in glass. He offers a tour to his glass manufacturing factory in the backyard of his shop. “I do a very good business in glasses because you see, jewish marriages require breaking glasses by the bride” speaks the young entrepreneur who himself got married recently in the traditional Jewish way. Circumcision shops have also popped up in all major Chinese cities, a black market thrives among acupuncture practitioners who have also started doubling up as surgeons for circumcision. A renowned acupuncture practitioner who did not want to be identified said that his whole family is making aliah to their ancestral homeland next month. But critics have something else to say, many are angered by the pampering of the chosen few by the premier Xi Jinping who himself is currently on vacation in Jerusalem with his daughter and Son-in-law David Cohen.
Nicely done,
However, Chinese is not India. Chinese history is well documented with artifacts, literatures, philosophers, inventions. Not a outsider, even a Whitman or many can change the fact.
However, Chinese do command the earnest of hard work from small heart Indians who wish ill on the neighbors, and flood the neighbor’s publishing sites with rumors and distortions, and out right lies and obscenities.
Your neighbors often feel sorry for you that you had such potential, and you flush it down toilet…or maybe we should say more precisely that you dump it into the Ganges.
Sorry Anon, I think I was been too dense. You ought to tell me what school of sarcasm did you graduate from. What a imagination! Get a name, so I do not have to guess who you are.:-)
I don’t know what made you think that I was an Indian.
I don’t know why, but the username that I used to use never got my comments past the moderation. Just the first comment got approved by the moderators, subsequent comments were all discarded. I do not want to blame the moderators though, but neither did I post anything inflammatory. Hence I have dropped using any user name. My most recently used user name was ‘Tsar_Bomba’.

Five Ukraine troops die in heavy fighting with Luhansk rebels
“Five Ukrainian troops have been killed by intense rebel shelling in the east of the country, the military says, in a new escalation of fighting.
Four of them died during an eight-hour clash near Krymske, a village 50km (31 miles) north-west of Luhansk. Ukrainian forces say they killed eight rebels.
The pro-Russian rebels used mortars and machine guns, the Ukrainian military headquarters said.
Meanwhile, the leader of rebel-held Luhansk has resigned.”
“The rebels remain in control of a large swathe of territory in Luhansk and Donetsk – mainly Russian-speaking regions.”
“Western governments accuse Russia of helping the rebels with regular troops and heavy weapons. Moscow denies that, while admitting that Russian “volunteers” are helping the rebels.”
Note the conflation and spin here? Crude but effective propaganda, right MI6?
