Fathers make the news all too often for the wrong reasons.
Here’s one who, if there was a prize for ‘World Father of the Year’, would surely deserve it :

a stunning quicky
Wow Mundo!
Talk about serendipity…. :-)
The poem I played with yesterday was by William Wordsworth, (1770-1850), (I forgot my user name), and was inspired by the white screen after the Pollack fish had eaten all the words. Wordsworth came to the rescue…
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
It doesn’t matter that your inspiration was Wordsworth, you applied it very good to the context. You’re very talented and personally I like your style.
Funny to realize
“Words worth”‘s
rhythms inspired me for
words worth

in this cafe-corner’s poesy
The ‘Pollack fish’ immediately brought my grandfather to mind.
While holidaying in a part of Ireland known as ‘the kingdom’, an English tourist by the name of Pollack caught a fish he didn’t recognise.
When he asked my grandfather what it was called, he told him it was a pollack.
Naturally, the visiting fisherman assumed my grandad was ‘ag magadh faoi’ (‘joking ‘)
When enquiries from other locals got the same answer, he thought it was a conspiracy… :-)
If somebody else would have told me this story I wouldn’t believe him but I believe you Eimar ! that’s so goood…thanks for sharing !
You’re welcome Ioan.
It really happened just like that :-)
I rarely comment on your posts and poems, but I always read and enjoy them.
Thanks for bringing a little sunshine – and occasional showers! – into the Vineyard.
It wouldn’t be the same without you.
The incident of the fake ballistic missile alert in Hawaii keeps getting stranger and stranger.
One very odd part about this incident is that it took 38 minutes from the time the state employee ‘pushed the wrong button’ to the issuance of a message announcing that there was no attack. 38 minutes while parents scrambled to find their children and people hid in storm drains in fear for their lives.
Now, we get the bizzarre explanation that the delay was because the Govenor of the state didn’t know his own Twitter password. Uh?
https://www.rt.com/usa/416728-hawaii-governor-twitter-password/
At this point, a robot in a sci-fi flick would be saying “Does not Compute” over and over again and smoke starts coming out of his ears.
The alert went out on an official emergency system. Presumably the same one or similar to the Amber Alerts we get when a child goes missing. It was issued out of the State Emergency HQ. The story is that they do a drill at shift hand-overs, and that someone pushed the wrong button. This sent a text message to every phone with SMS messaging on the island.
What does the Governor’s Twitter password have to do with this?
What needed to happen was that officials should have used the same system to sent a 2nd message telling people there was no attack. Perhaps with the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy message about “Don’t Panic!”
Sure, the Governor could have sent a twit on Twitter, but that only goes to the people who’s lives are so lame that they follow the Governor on Twitter. It would not have reached everyone who got the fake missile alert message.
For that matter, it probably would have only taken a few minutes longer than sending a twit to grab a TV camera crew or hurry to a TV studio to send a message to the people to “Don’t Panic!”. If there weren’t tv camera crews already at the Capital, its a pretty sure bet that various news director’s were sending them there quickly to cover the story of the incoming balistic missile attack and the governor’s famous last words before he died.
But, we are now being told that the reason for a potentially deadly delay in telling people that they alert-you-are-about-to-die message was a fake is because the Governor didn’t know his own Twitter password? Really?
One thing about Liars, is that as they have to try to cover the first lies and the holes in that story then their lies get more and more unbelieveable.
So, what was really going on that day in Hawaii?
It was maybe a real missile attack, carried out by the deep state from a submarine near North Korea, so to blame it on NK. A false flag. “Q” warned in advance about it.
So after Hawaii, next was Japan. Maybe the same? A real attack?
But what happened to the “real missiles” than? Where they successfully shot down?
How long does a ballistic missile fly from NK to Hawaii?
Does this coincide with the 38 minutes delay from the “missile warning” to the “all-clear message”?
Was the aim by the deep state to desperately start WW 3? Right know, where NK & SK engage in talks?
But wouldn’t Russia & China register a missile launch?
But would they, if so, make it public? What would be the benefits? What would be the disadvantages?
Just few thoughts…
Launch a rocket from a submarine and the satellite eyes observe. cannot be a secret.
occams razor suggests no launch. also suggests a genuine test took place, twice.
conditioning. practice. they expect incoming. this is almost a guarantee that they, the US, expect to initiate attack. this accords with MacKinder. Asiatic axis must be kept secure at any cost. is logic of Empire.
ruthless and silly. such is history
Occams Razor; Of all the offerings on the internet, the first thing that made sense to me is that an NSA data facility (on Kaua’I ?) has an auto function whereby during a REAL alert, which this SEEMED to be, all data is dumped back to the mainland facility in Utah. But, the data can be intercepted en route. If you accept, and I do, that there is a coup-counter coup underway in the U.S. centered around the intelligence agencies, and no “data” is ever really “lost,” as the “coup” side would have you believe is lost…………….I believe the “counter-coup” just hit the bonanza of data.
It’s not how but why a “false alarm” was sounded. Cui Bono. Inconvenience and heartache? A group considered the “cost/benefit” and pushed the button. Japan Alarm? I have no clue.
Maybe so. I simply expect that machines do what they are designed to do when they are triggered to operate. If an infodump was the necessary reason, ok. I simply expect that the two tests were in fact tests. Why? I do not have any idea, beyond somebody wanted the “machine” to cycle.
wrong button> why push a button at all if there is no reason? How many buttons are there and are they so close to each other that you in a absent minded moment push the wrong one next to the right one? come on there is more to that.
Hello Ken, in the story you cited, https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/pictures-massive-russian-arms-delivery-syria-approaches-via-turkey/ the photos show the decks covered by military style fuel trucks. These must be to replace all the ISIS trucks that were shipping crude oil out to Turkey and beyond. This will be necessary for rebuilding the damaged oil fields. The author should have been able to point out the obvious. Ordinary civilian trucks would have been a poor choice after so much shelling from artillery and tanks. Kamaz, with their latest Dakar rally win shows they have exactly what it takes to get the job done.
Or related to your point, if civilian fuel trucks are in short supply because ISIS siezed them all and then many got blown up by the Russian air force, then its also possible the Syrian military is having problems trucking fuel to its mechanized units that are busy killing terrorists.
But, you are correct, someone’s going to need a bunch of new oil tanker trucks to get that business up and running again. Seems like I read somewhere that the US Kurdish proxies have grabbed some 80% of Syria’s oil production capacity. Iraq, Turkey and Syria might get together and make it difficult to get new trucks to a land-locked area. I suppose the US can probably lean on the Iraqi government to get them allowed through. But the Kurds in general won’t be real popular in Baghdad ministry offices these days.
It is fascinating how in today’s media, a picture of fuel tankers painted military green on a ship deck becomes “Massive Russian Arms Shipment”. Since I generally consider Al-Masdar to be favorable to the Syrian government, then that would be on the lines of “our great allies are sending us more help” sort of propaganda.
I did notice a different story about how some new S-400 systems are arriving at the Russian bases in Syria. Very useful timing tactically because if the US/Israel thinks they have a read on that airbase’s air defenses after the coordinated drone attack, then now its changing on them as they know new equipment is being installed. They might have to run another test to find out about the new setups.
“The author should have been able to point out the obvious.”
On that I agree. However, emphasis always seems to be on military hardware that can go BANG, and there might indeed be some of that to on decks below.

Kent
Mods, you may allow this dish to be served or cleared directly to the Dish Washing Department.
ioan sent me an email about his calendar contribution idea and I responded personally but lacking time, my response was also prepared as a Cafe Entre.
I initially missed the beautiful Orthodox Calendar 2018 ioan introduced to Saker. An email from him drew my attention to it. I followed up with a question to him, and he answered,
Here is the fourth message in that email thread:
Ioan:
OK…the Saker audience might enjoy your calendar contributory idea if it grew, and especially if it had a longer life than ONE year! We could learn some facts of Orthodoxy from it, which many are no doubt interested in learning….if professionally printed it might be ordered in worthwhile volume….people could buy it….it could turn a non-deductible charitable contribution into a deductible business expense….hey business people need calendars!…..SO ….let me add some further thoughts (real long shot, but it could even spread among allies and friends far afield from the Vineyard….think BIG!) just to stretch your mind and your idea:
My initial observations (correct if wrong):
1. It Could Work and be worthwhile, as an example to others for similar community ideas….moreover “working” is not just a matter of monetarily worthwhile gain……here the Spirit may be a more significant gainer than the Vineyard of the Saker Community Support Bank Account. Especially for you, Saker, and anyone that gets the calendar, reflects on it all year, learns from it….besides just using it to arrange schedule….as with any ordinary calendar.
2. Nevertheless I don’t discard the idea that you have that your beautiful contribution to the cause might actually have monetary “legs” (or wings to fly) potential to add up to something greater of an individual contribution from you, than comes in with the average sum of USD, EURO, LTC, BCH (ooops those 2 cryptos and a 3rd disappeared from Contribute to Saker link on Home Page….we’re back to BTC only! Hmmm. Maybe a re-evaluation of the Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash crypto-struggle???) from the average contributor, fulfilling your wish to put your “Shoulder to the Wheel” and push the Vineyard Harvest Cart forward, a bit faster.
3. Yet, while I understand this noble intention, you seem both simultaneously pleased with Saker’s kind public appreciation of your calendar and just a bit mildly let down that Saker did not instantly comprehend 100% your vision for your calendarial contribution precisely as it materialized in your mind. If you had no follow up because of shyness, or whatever, take heart, Bro 93 is here! LOL…… and furthermore:
4. The initial reaction of Saker is great and you should be proud of it.
5. He’s busy and gives your calendar a public breath (or irrigation) of life, but followup depends not just on him, but especially on yourself….and anyone else that sees what is going on, has valuable input or energy to add, and makes the calendar seed (or something like it from someone else….that you might get more excited about than your own idea!……although yours is precious!) grow with further liquidity of thought, technological or business input or whatever.
6. What makes me add my thoughts to your Calendar Seed, in terms of its potential growth are a) Its example to inspire the input of others on this or many other “Seeds of Construction”……..Vineyard Children! Be fruitful and multiply! b) The fact that it has a clear “rebirth” in continuity of life aspect that is not inherent in the simple sort of monetary contributions I and others have made. HOW? You need a new calendar every year! c) like the days that your calendar tracks, I am persuaded that the ideas that distinguish us from animals and from our animal, material nature are not “One and Done” either! And this causes me to provoke (What Else!) a spiritual debate that your calendar project has inspired! At least in me.
Now the Returning Son (and Sun) are really warming things up! LOL. But I will leave the germination of THAT seed for a subsequent comment. If it is “communally” provoked to grow any more, that is.
Hint: The possibility that we are much more than our “One and Done” bodies is a possibility that I find rather persuasive. Just like a calendar, including your calendar, we may never be done…..as individual spirits…..or even as a species of material and spiritual beings!
And of IDEAS.
Later!
Bro 93
This is going into the Cafe, unless Mods clear it off the table before anyone sees it!
Calendars with the beautiful icon paintings and professionally printed, I will buy, happily contributing to Saker’s monetary fund.
So would I, particularly as it is impossible to buy such things by direct mail from Russia to the UK now due to the sanctions. There is probably a niche market in most western countries now that is otherwise unconnected, in any way, to the Vineyard.
I will come back to this idea later this year, definitely all of you can give a hand, can have a part in having Our own calendar of the Vineyard and I will deliver the next calendar to the Saker redy to be printed. Just hang on and I will tell you what you can do ( it’s easy and anybody can do that with a little search ) The details will tell you sometime in June this year.
Hi ioan,
I hope to be away for a month or so around that time but if the mods/Saker will agree to give you my email I am happy to do leg-work for your project.
Oh, thanks one minion, I would be glad to work with you !
Ah…empty chairs cos everyone has gone to Davos or G7western “leaders” are not brave enough to occupy a chair of responsibility like Minsk and actually take ownership of the problems they have created and cannot deal with……
Maybe this will give pause to those who felt that the attack on Trump was not run by committees within the shadow government/deep state.
https://pjmedia.com/trending/page-strzok-referenced-fbi-secret-society-met-day-election/
and still is.
Here you and I and the now silent Dennis agree: Trump is a bit complicated and contradictory and yet to prove exactly what he is, unlike the coup plotters against him who are 100% proven to be pure poison.
Especially Robert Mueller:
http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/23/mueller-9-11-saudi-cover-up/
The Saudis may have provided jockeys to ride on the planes but they did not place the demolitions to drop the buildings into their own footprint. How about the “unstruck” building 7? I think the Saudis were willing patsies to deflect the spotlight away from the “chosen” ones plans for the ME. I think the Daily Caller pedals “limited hangouts”. But yeah, Mueller has been an “asset” for a long time. George Webb pegs him as a sample peddler in the Uranium One deal.
Dear Bro,
Thank you for bringing the “Trump-topic” up here again.
I would like to share some thoughts on this:
I’m very irritated regarding the “judgement about Trump” here on this blog. Especially the “official line” here, “Sakers personal view”, so to say.
While in the beginning (before the election) Trump was viewed and portrayed as a real chance for a “restart”, as a much, much better option than the crazy witch Hillary, after the election, especially after the “dismissal” of Flyn, I was really, really perplexed especially by Sakers outcry: I will never forget Sakers first reaction to the Flyn case…
How did he exactly say (I’m too lazy to search now)? Was it something like: “It’s over! Trumps presidency is finished. He succumbed to the deep state…” And so on.
I thought back then, “hell, never saw Saker so emotional…”. I had the impression, that Saker was very overwhelmed by sincere disappointment.
Then I observed that the whole “Russian friendly alternative media and blog apparatus” like TheSaker, FortRuss, TheDuran, Russia Insider and to some extent Kathehon and Geopolitica.ru turned their back on Trump…
Hmm, I thought, a very coordinated turn of opinion, very stereotype, in all the above said media? OK…
This turn of opinion of course correlated with the “Trump Russia collusion narrative”.
Ahh, here we go, I thought!
Is it possible? Is it possible, that Trump is getting some sort of support from the “Russian friendly alternative media and blog apparatus” in the form of pretending being disappointed by Trump? So to not put more fuel in the fire regarding the “Trump Russia collusion narrative”?
At least, this could make some sense. Or not?
Because Alexander Dugin is still viewing Trump as Russia’s natural ally. Dugin says, Trump is covertly a follower of “4PT”.
Thierry Meyssan is also a very credible source, who has not given up on Trump. Especially regarding his sincere fight against the corruption in Washington and the deep state.
And if you follow some “risky” but sometimes very enlightening sources like “Q” and “Sorcha Faal”, you will learn about an amazing war between Trump and the deep state, the globalist system, like never before in American history!
If these sources are true and correct, we will witness “amazing” times in the USA. Developments which we longed and wished for, but which we haven’t really believed will come true:
Will HRC go to jail?
Will even Obama go to jail?
Will the plot to assassinate the POTUS by some structures in the FBI be made public?
Will the “16 year plan” to destroy America be made public? (8 years Obama, then 8 years HRC)
Will the “destruction” of Hollywood be completed?
Will the “destruction” of Silicon Valley” follow?
Will the “destruction” of the MSM go on?
Will there be a Calexit?
Will all this go “smooth” or will there be war?
Will it be a civil war or WW 3?
Will the assets of some “untouchables” be seized like MBS did in SA?
Are some “untouchables” already tortured in Gitmo, like MBS did in SA?
“Q” says, 2018 will be great.
Trump was chosen by the patriotic forces in the USA, especially by MIL & INT.
He’s no idiot.
He’s not weak.
He’s the bravest man in politics I personally witnessed in 25 years.
Can you imagine how endangered he and his family are?
Compared to his circumstances since he won the election, Putin’s circumstances are like being on holiday.
So buy some popcorn and watch!
When in doubt, ignore what he says and watch what he does.
Its not really about Trump as a person, it is about Trump as the figurehead of a power system. Totally incompetent people can do awful things that have surprisingly benign outcomes—- eventually. That doesn’t make them any less incompetent and dangerous because of it.
Competent and careful, like Mr Putin and his team, means a safe pair of hands holding the reigns of power. You cannot depend on Trump and the shambles that currently masquerades as ‘his team’ for that——- ever.
Trump is essentially a salesman, of himself and nothing else.
Gerry!!! Thanks for your great rendition of how MANY of us think and feel. Trump is no flash in the pan. This cast iron pot has been on simmer for a long time. I’ve always known since my “Red Pill” moment after my Nam Grunt days that the only way this MESS could be addressed would be by good men in the Military and rule of law. No muscle, no law. They would be the key and they are. There are still many rogue elements in play (Nikki Haley’s positions?) but I believe that in due time these too will be addressed. I’m reminded of “Why did God invent time?…. So everything didn’t happen at once”. The animals can still run around the barnyard, but, Trump can keep them out of the garden.
That ‘hope springs eternal in the human heart,’ thing?
The Ancient Greeks knew a thing or two about human nature and the tragi-comedy of human life, but I was puzzled for a while about why ‘Hope’ was included in Pandora’s box or jar along with all the evils that could plague humanity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%27s_box
Then of course there’s Dante’s take, Canto 111 of the Inferno, “Abandon all hope…”
Ursula Le Guin however, an American novelist who died two days, ago nails it for me with her loooong historical take on reality:
“Books aren’t just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable – but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”
That means us I think, the minion multitudes. not a billionaire with a good line in election promises but no experience or track record of delivery.
Yada yada

Saker: Interesting reflections. Vladimir Zhirinovsky argues that the proposed Chinese silk road will be redundant, as the Russians want to build a transit route from Vladivostok to Hamburg.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnD3pRoh9k
Zhirinovsky argues that the Anglo-American-Zio elites will do everything in their power to prevent. Russia, Germany, and Turkey from forming an alliance.
(I know the interview is in German, but you can get the subtitles in English.)
Of cause. German will pay to build and run the road with all superior German steel, trains, and manpower on endless empty stretch of frozen land… Is Germany lost another war, and now working in POW camp ago? or is German losing their marbles in face of global competition?
J: Why should any serious discussion about former enemies interested in friendship devolve into talk about war, POW camps, nazis, and communists. Godwin’s Law:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/godwin%27s_law
I sense that both the Russian and the German elites would like to become friends, but this fact bothers the Anglo-American-Zio elites:

His Royal Highness George ordered his foreign minister to find a reason for war at all costs…in 1914. Why?
To prevent Germany from uniting with Russia in a vast integrated european economy that would make the sea people (the english fleet) irrelevant,
To-day the same “problem”, only now it’s Chin and Ru, with Germany about to join…and the same urgency re-emerged… geewhiz!
But it, the unification project, is too far along…and the zionist project is backfiring badly.
Looks bad for the Sea People.
Anon,
Have you seen the British fleet lately? A quick flick through Janes magazine would make clear that maintaining relevance or not is the least of its problems. Maintaining a few sea-worthy ships seems beyond it. The latest build is 1 and a half ‘sitting duck’ carriers for which we cannot afford the aircraft (F35). Still, we could do with a new big ferry to the Isle of Wight for the summer season.
Those ships of today are obviously irrelevant to the matter. If you know the history of the WW2 convoys you will also know the process by which the strategic value of the ships of 1914 became increasingly near zero….sometime about 1943 in the European arena…sooner in the Pacific. Read History of Convoy PQ17, ferstarters.
Of course I have seen uk fleet ships, is joke. But I wrote about 1914. If you study the Great War’s origins the economic calculus is a very powerful factor…as to the quote from his Excellency George…it was in a diary from that period..and published a few years ago…private secretary to the FM…details are open public and mostly ignored. public secrets…so to say.
Times change, and so do the machines…the rustybuckets of the uk have nothing to do with the axis of control over Heartland…this is obvious.
Airplanes, rockets, arty…why would the present day uk fleet even interest anybody…it has zero to do with the absolutely vitally necessary prevention of the unification of Heartland States…like Ru and Germany..in economic relationships together with Asia and, in time, Arfica…as Chin is busy doing now, today, with Ru.

the current week for all of us under the northern sky
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/01/23/a-national-defense-strategy-of-sowing-global-chaos/
Nicholas Davies insightful discussion of the US New National Defense Strategy….
“…….. two important words hidden between the lines, but never mentioned by name, in the new U.S. National Defense Strategy: “empire” and “imperialism.”
It has long been taboo for U.S. officials and corporate media to speak of U.S. foreign policy as “imperialism,” or of the U.S.’s global military occupations and network of hundreds of military bases as an “empire.” These words are on a long-standing blacklist of “banned topics” that U.S. official statements and mainstream U.S. media reports must never mention.
The streams of Orwellian euphemisms with which U.S. officials and media instead discuss U.S. foreign policy do more to obscure the reality of the U.S. role in the world than to describe or explain it, “hiding imperial interests behind ever more elaborate fig leaves,” as British historian A.J.P. Taylor described European imperialists doing the same a century ago…………
U.S. policy is almost single-handedly responsible for this global chaos, after successive U.S. administrations have worked to marginalize the institutions and rules of international law and to establish illegal U.S. threats and uses of force that international law defines as crimes of aggression as the ultimate arbiter of international affairs.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The U.S. conducts a sophisticated propaganda campaign to pretend that U.S. air-launched weapons are so accurate that they can be used safely without killing large numbers of civilians. Actual miss rates and blast radii are on the “banned topics” blacklist, along with realistic estimates of civilian deaths.
When former Iraqi foreign minister Hoshyar Zebari told Patrick Cockburn of the U.K.’s Independent newspaper that he had seen Iraqi Kurdish intelligence reports which estimated that the U.S.- and Iraqi-led destruction of Mosul had killed 40,000 civilians, the only remotely realistic estimate so far from an official source, no other mainstream Western media followed up on the story……………….
According to a growing body of research (for example, see the UN Development Program study, Journey to Extremism in Africa: Drivers, Incentives and the Tipping-Point for Recruitment), most people who join armed resistance or “terrorist” groups do so mainly to protect themselves and their families from the dangers of wars that others have inflicted on them. The UNDP survey found that the final “tipping point” that pushes over 70% of them to take the fateful step of joining an armed group is the killing or detention of a close friend or family member by foreign or local security forces……………….
The transition from hegemony to coexistence has never been easy for any great power, and there is nothing exceptional about the temptation to use military force to try to preserve and prolong the old order. This has often led to catastrophic wars and it has always failed.
It is difficult for any political or military leader to preside over a diminution of his or her country’s power in the world. Military leaders are rewarded for military strategies that win wars and expand their country’s power, not for dismantling it. Mid-level staff officers who tell their superiors that their weapons and armies cannot solve their country’s problems do not win promotion to decision-making positions.
As Gabriel Kolko noted in Century of War in 1994, this marginalization of critical voices leads to an “inherent, even unavoidable institutional myopia,” under which, “options and decisions that are intrinsically dangerous and irrational become not merely plausible but the only form of reasoning about war and diplomacy that is possible in official circles.”………………”
https://consortiumnews.com/2018/01/23/a-national-defense-strategy-of-sowing-global-chaos/
That was a very good article. In discussions I heard an apt précis of the New National Defense Strategy, ie that Mattis has finally abandoned the ‘War on Terror’ and is now overtly setting his sights on a conflict of empires, ie US against Russia and China.
Madness.

The rent of the private island with two villas at the Cheval Blanc resort cost Poroshenko and his companions at least $46,000 per night, the report says. Thus, the six-night stay on the private island cost the president $276,000 dollars.
The reporters also obtained the president’s alleged bills from the resort, which stated that Poroshenko paid $37,550 in cash for additional services” that included meals, boat trips, and scuba diving.

After this, One can hope that the Syrian government does not allow them to retreat into SAA held territory

Former Vice President Joe Biden has publicly admitted that he personally and directly intervened in Ukraine’s governance, boasting on stage before the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) that he got a high Kiev government official removed with a snap of his fingers. It probably won’t hurt him or poroshenko.

“CIA Director Mike Pompeo has said that US history books reflect America’s actions taken “against the threat from Yugoslavia.”
Speaking at a panel organized by the American Enterprise Institute, this official, often publicly presented as a person of US President Donald Trump’s “utmost trust,” mentioned the former state as an example of “threats coming from nation states.”
“Your history books would have all reflected threats from countries – what was America doing against the threat from Yugoslavia, or some other nation state,” Pompeo said, addressing the audience, and continued:
“Today the threats are much more varied than that – whether it’s threats from groups like Hezbollah or Al Qaeda, threats to our information systems from groups like WikiLeaks.”

Audience granted.
(Putin is being to kind here IMO)

That looks like Nikki Haley half hiding in shadow behind a column on the White House porch.
Are you saying she’s (mod-to note: unnecessary words deleted) responsible for the poop that the Scooper In Chief is shoveling off the lawn???
My question is also a belated reply to Gerry Hills who I thank for his detailed post.
I too have had similar thoughts on Trump, Putin, Saker and other analysts and commenters here on the first two.
We are all different and While Vlad is a Complex Being, in my view, the crux of the diffrence is rather simple:
He is able to afford and project consistency because very early on he gained sufficient control of the Intelligence and Security apparatus of the Russian Federation.
Maybe the Intelligence and Security apparatus of the USA is more complex than that of the Russian Federation, and harder for ANYONE to steer it into Saner Waters, as Putin has done with Russia’s??
For starters does The Original Seat of Empire (in its present AZ form) ie London not share such things as access to nuclear weapons dployment and use “keys”.The guys that prepared the Christopher Steele “Dossier”???
Are dual citizens of Israel and the USA not entrenched in power positions in many agencies of our government??
Assuming Trump might not intend do go Full Traitor to the USA and the Human Race like Obama and Hillary do you think it might take him a little longer to get all the hands of demons and neocons off the steering wheel, than it took that Patriot of Russia??
I’d say to Gerry: “Good input, but ditch the popcorn. First of all it’s probably GMO (and programmed to program you to buy more and keep watching, instead of getting on stage…..) and secondly, on the very real chance that Donald is not just Out for Himself and No One Else (as One Minion projects), he’s got enough watchers already, both the cheering and the booing types.
He might be able to stand some help??? No??? Some ACTION???
“All the world’s a stage….”??? Get on it, as with your good comment, which could move others to do the same.
Also, more thanks are due Terenam 13 who broke the ice that our bows are now pushing easily aside, as we easily slide through Arctic Waters of Trump/Putin Comparisons and Diffrences.
Like Kent’s graphic shows, Putin may be BY FAR the Larger Man in our eyes, But That Does Not Mean to Yet Abandon All Hope that Donald May Not Grow…..and cut the Deep State, The British, the Zionists and the Very Idea of Empire………down to size……..in Time.
But that outcome might depend on a lot of different people in all walks of life and many countries 1)ditching the popcorn and getting on stage 2) not pretending that abandoning hope and embracing cynicism will do a damned thing to help. Now there’s an oxymoron, if there ever was one! (LOL)
Also thanks to One Minion who tests our hopes with a dour Irish or Scottish skepticism and forces us to come up with more than The Hope Plan….for Hope without Action…..Dies….and Wilts Quickly Like a Cut Red Rose in Summer Without Water in the Vase.
And, since it’s Robbie Burns’ Birthday in the Moveable Feast Cafe, let’s go with My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose, which I just heard on KUSC, Los Angeles:
composed and set to music from this Burns Poem:
A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns 1794
Oh my Luve’s like a red, red rose,
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie,
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ ’twere ten thousand mile!
Action, is needed ‘cross “ten thousand mile”!
The musical piece: https://youtu.be/uYxwT6km8R0
Or ten thousand years.
For those new to Bobbie Burns, on his Birthday, His Most Famous Present To Humanity:
A Man’s a Man for A’ That
Is there for honest Poverty
That hings his head, an’ a’ that;
The coward-slave, we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a’ that!
For a’ that, an’ a’ that.
Our toils obscure an’ a’ that,
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp,
The Man’s the gowd for a’ that.
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an’ a that;
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
A Man’s a Man for a’ that:
For a’ that, and a’ that,
Their tinsel show, an’ a’ that;
The honest man, tho’ e’er sae poor,
Is king o’ men for a’ that.
Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that,
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
His ribband, star, an’ a’ that,
The man o’ independent mind,
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that.
A Prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquis, duke, an’ a’ that!
But an honest man’s aboon his might –
Guid faith, he mauna fa’ that!
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
Their dignities, an’ a’ that,
The pith o’ Sense an’ pride o’ Worth
Are higher rank than a’ that.
Then let us pray that come it may,
As come it will for a’ that,
That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth
Shall bear the gree an’ a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
It’s comin yet for a’ that,
That Man to Man the warld o’er
Shall brithers be for a’ that.
That’s the first time I have seen such a mod-sanitized comment appear in such strange format, with black background to white text, extremely large spaces between paragraphs, etc.
Just in case the comment is gone over there, and you’d like another go at editing, here it was copied, hopefully without any strange text programming like white on black background (and other unintended effects):

Bro,
Britain’s nuclear ‘deterrent’ isn’t independent—can’t be used without Uncle Sam’s sayso.
The City of London might be the financial centre but it is a sort of legal principality of its own, much like the Vatican is to Italy—it has, thank the gods, no finger on any nuclear buttons, though plenty of tentacles elsewhere.
And that is definitely elephant poop that the Donald is shovelling. At the other end of the scale, my favourite from the Rab:

I’d like him to tackle the LBGT.. Z lobby next – it’s also a tool of class warfare.
Especially as a ‘humanitarian’ front for eugenics – by – stealth.
The war…well, what does the American and very dignified Nation of Islam (primarily American Negro) seem to think about the fake false flag of 911?
And what do they suspect?
It’s a long video, and impressive. Worth the time…
The presentation is probably not terribly new, but well organized. However what’s really interesting is the reception and attitude of the audience…watch the audience. Pretty high class people, eh? And not easy to fool…they are obviously fact-based thinkers, not delusional in the least. How many have cops and military officers in their families? Think about the implications…
And from each person in the audience…which is a plenary meeting…perhaps a hundred more will know…a creeping process to raise the foul deeds to men’s eyes…and then…what?
https://www.noi.org/911revisited/
I want to acknowledge comments from the last three cafes which impacted me. I first saw the Steve Pieczenik interview with Alex Jones on the Trump revolution; and later Anon linked it. From day one I’ve thought that Trump had some mighty powerful people backing him. Steve shows who they are, the ones who will crash the neo-con putsch.
This connects to the Jewish question. A push by Jews to take control of the world was sure to cause a reaction against them. The Jews are being set up for a fall.
I don’t like the overuse of the word Zionist. It’s a misdirection and red herring used by Jews to take the heat off themselves. Use common sense. When we speak of the Irish, French and the rest, we don’t create a special category of bad guys, and focus on them. We understand that every nationality is mixed with good and bad. Long before Zionism, Jews were agitating for power. Some Jews speak against Zionism; some are paid to control the opposition, but how many well-adjusted Jews dare to bring up the question of Judaism itself? In all of history, what group has come this close to ruling the entire earth?
Don’t call me anti-Jewish because I’m not; I speak in the interest of truth and justice, which would benefit Jews the most. Jesus was a Jew and he’s my hero. A good start would be to examine the Chosen People claim. What an awful burden to carry, for a child in a home or a race on the earth. It’s the original class system, a curse upon humanity.
I am saying that Steve P. is revealing the force of nationalists and patriots against any group seeking total control. If the Irish were doing it, I would be the first to denounce the Irish, especially the silent majority, who were afraid to speak, or were secretly in love with Irish power themselves. Those defending the Republic against Leftists and Marxists first had to stop Hillary by helping her defeat herself; and then they chose Trump for his unusual obnoxiousness and acting ability, the perfect foil to give the republic’s enemies enough rope to hang themselves.
I’ve always liked Trump because I’m obnoxious too. My ideas, if they were understood, would make Donald’s most outrageous tweets seem like cotton candy. “If my thought-dreams could be seen, they’d put my head in a guillotine.” I like Bro because he has always seemed sympathetic to Donald, although with reservations. DT’s foreign policy seems crazy like a fox, so we’ll just have to wait and see, if and when the bluffs are called.
Thanks, Steve P. The Trump Revolution may be the second American Revolution and lead to a world revolution, without the violence of Jewish Communism, with its one million murders, and all the false flags it operates under. That being said, this is a practical stand on my part; far, far from the ideal world I also inhabit. “I live in another world, where the earth is strung with lovers’ pearls.”
Trump reminds me of many things: like Kick Ass Murphys and Vince Lombardi, mentioned here. If Trump pulls this off, I’ll join vot tak and TSP to carve Donald on Mt. Rushmore as OM holds the chisels. Dream, Baby, dream.
My stock will go down in the Bro Bank, but I must acknowledge whoever linked to Bitcoin being started by Intelligence. Natalya Kaspersky, the co-founder of the Russian Kaspersky Labs gave a talk in Petersburg and said US Intelligence started Bitcoin to facilitate payment to their agents. Sure, as if direct deposit is snail mail. No, they had bigger prey in their sights.
I always thought it was a two-bit Ponzi scheme to steal from the gullible, but now I find out it’s much worse. It’s part of Intelligence, for God’s sake, to spy and steal from not only the Bitcoin for Dummies greedy grinches, but to sucker in everyone who has a smart phone and getting near-zero interest on their bank accounts. Even the imputed creator turns out to be a group of US Intelligence cryptographers.
To Bro’s credit, he is still studying the matter, and has reached no definite conclusion; other than his innate enthusiasm for hopeful mirages in the desert. His wife should contact Natalya Kaspersky and talk shop rather than shopping. Unless they develop their animas, men are too left-brained and intuitively drained, as a rule; they can rule with power, but govern with care or visit a Love Bower?
Most women today have lost it, and are no better than men. To be well-adjusted to a sick culture is no indicator of health. I’m typing in the club lounge where a group of women are loudly proving my prejudiced point, with a couple of passive menfolk who drift away. Suddenly the women are gone to a class, and quiet descends except for the men watching sports on TV. “They chirp and they chatter; what does it matter?”
Some say I’m just afraid of the new Wonder World. No, I’m not. I’m just saying what I think and feel. If I see a dead rat on the road, with a buzzard circling above, that’s what I’m seeing and smelling; I’m not afraid that it might be a live rat with rabies who will bite me. I don’t believe in usury and investments for interest because they’re part of a rotten system. Before he kicked the investors out of the Temple with the help of a whip, Jesus said they were like white-washed tombs on the outside with dead men’s rotting flesh and bones inside. And we wonder why we can’t stop war? Oh, wonderful, wonderful!
“They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I’m sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel are heat and flame, and all I see are dark eyes”
The dark eyes I see are in the faces of our lover ancestors of 100,000 years ago in Africa. There’s more truth in one sentence of the Garden of Eden myth than in a trillion tons of history’s lies. And more truth in one of the Love Army’s commandments than the millions of myths humanity has concocted to understand itself. At least the Paradise myth is based on a truth of nature; unlike our fiat money and fake narratives which are based on nothing but lies.
Jesus called the Love Army of his time “legions of angels.” He could have asked his Father for them to rout his enemies, but declined. I’m not that brave so I asked the Love Army to come to our aid. It has, and one result of that is Trump the Terrible; another is this Vineyard where a Saker feeds on rats–and a firebird-phoenix that carries burning embers to new kindling to flush out more rats, as was noted here.
Three contemporaries fascinate me. Trump because he seems to stand alone against the swamp, but is actually supported by a powerful group who I call the neo-Romans, men who defend the Republic against Global Totalitarianism. Dylan because he’s a literary genius dualist, also supported by his Jewish clan, at least in the beginning; and perhaps switched sides later, which is his modus operandi. And Miles Mathis who is now exposing Jews who infiltrate the higher realms of power and money by marriage, and in the case of China by stealth, from 3000 years of mastery of finance and trade. MM reveals the fake world everywhere; I can’t wait until he gets to Jews in China.
I guess I’ve said enough to make a few more detractors. I pray, program and keep the Love Army’s ten commandments of love as well as I can. Otherwise, I’d be run over by the empire’s tractors like Rachel Corrie. As long as I stay plugged into love, I feel safe and protected, come hell or high water, as I wait on the Changing of the Guards.
“Fortune calls
I step forth from the shadows, to the marketplace
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down
She’s smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born
On midsummer’s eve, near the tower
Gentlemen, he said
I don’t need your organization, I’ve shined your shoes
I’ve moved your mountains and marked your cards
But Eden is burning, either brace yourself for elimination
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards”
Love, Dennis
Oh Brother!
A few days ago I almost composed my second “I miss O’Leary.” comment of my career. Now that isn’t necessary.
Praise the Lord!
And pass the ammunition.
Now I like you too, Dennis, but for two seemingly contradictory, almost opposite reasons:
1. Love is a good thing, for example. Also, some of your intuitions (like on Trump) might very well turn out correct, or much more correct than the anti-Trump conclusions of those who approve of the tactic of maskirovka by the Russian Military….but find it extremely disgusting in the White House, or DC…where another war….but so far without many bullets…except for Seth Rich and the baseball playing Congressman….is being waged.
2. But it is where we disagree, that I positively LOVE you, like an aging slugger with slowing reflexes loves an opposing pitcher that can throw nothing but slow changeups right down the heart of the plate, pitch after pitch after pitch. Because those pitches even poor old Bro 93 can jack practically into near earth orbit! I just love it when you “take the mound”. Especially after a long hiatus…or when I am rested.
Now your comment above is another Dennis Doozy of Dionysian Eroticism.
Has anyone but me noticed that Dennis is highly selective with Miles Mathis, and really “gets off” on the Hitler was a Jew, Half the Nazi Leaders were self-hating Jews Mathis Main Direction but simply ignores Mathis on Zimmerman, aka Bob Dylan, after briefly venting anti-Mathis-pro Dylan sentiments and conclusions a year or two ago, here in the Cafe?
He’s totally untroubled by this glaring inconsistency. But then Dennis “gets off” virtually erotically (you can’t cogntively get off on something false, so eroticism will have to do, it appears…..) ….well certainly emotionally sometimes on……What??? Wait a minute! The opposite of Love: FEAR!
Why? How to explain the such inconsistencies??
But tonight’s little frank admission of what turns him on, while good and imminently hittable halfway up the bleachers is NOTHING compared to the Dennysian Doozy he served up weeks ago (Dec 30 Cafe). That Wondiferous Floater has been in my Field of Dreams ever since!
Because, alas, it was served up New Years eve in this comment:
/moveable-feast-cafe-2017-12-30/#comment-468710
And I was not ready, I was too unsteady (on my feet) to jack it into near earth orbit. I couldn’t even get my bat handle up. Then work, work and more work. Then a bit of rest. But Dennis takes a hiatus!
But now I’m rested! And “he’s baaack!”
Bat Boy, bring me a Louiseville Slugger….38 ounces…..no, 40. Plenty of time to get around on this “Slow Float From China”!:
“The Zio’s, or should I say Xio’s, since Power Patriarchy uses religions like Zion for its evil campaigns? The X is a common symbol for poison, danger, no-go places; and just happens (really?) to be the first letter in a God-less nation’s leader’s name. Evil word-play, dark symbolism, unconscious psychological operatives? Who know? The Shadow knows.”
Now this doozy is slander and fear mongering for Silly Children and Geo-political Dummies. PERIOD.
Do you understand, dear sir, that the only accurate spelling of the sound of the President of China’s name is a Chinese Character……and nothing that starts with the “X” of Xenophobic…which describes yourself, and not the President of China, or any other letter of our western alphabet?? many Chinese sounds are quite hard to put a western letter of the alphabet too. WE chose the X that is on our packages denoting poison and that we ascribe to the beginning of his name, not the President of China, but to say there is any Universal Correspondence between the man and OUR symbols on OUR packages is Pure Made Up Nominalism of the nuttiest,most superstitiopus, fear mongering sort!
Therefore the auto-erotic juxtaposition of Zio with the X in our “Made Up” Western attempt to put incommensuarble script to the President of China’s name is just pathetic, childish-erotic “making sh*t up” ala (Jewish) Pervert Sigmund Fraud.
Because the sound of that Chinese Character denoting his last name has NOTHING to do with the sound of the X in Xenophobic. But you are xenophobic, so by your “let’s just make up whater sh*t suits our egos and eroticv fantasies” logic, YOU should hoist yourself on your own petard, and declare” I am the Zionist , not the President of China! Because I act Xenophobic, that X sounds like Z….and presto I must be Zionist!”
However, you are not in the habit of being in the slightest trpoubled by your own inconsistencies.
Now, gentle correction of error is a loving thing,so don’t get angry.
The truth is, I look on the bright side and for a few days I mostly wanted to comment on the first comment in this About To Close (Empty Chairs) Cafe, by Eimear because THAT admittedly describes a far more loving being (Jalandhar) in microcosm than our poor comments here at the end.
/moveable-feast-cafe-2018-01-23/#comment-480355
And in all seriousness, I have been thinking as lot more about that than than your New Year’s Eve Doozy.
What about it? Well it’s obvious: As Above, So Below. The Universal Principle of Correspondence. As with the Microcosm, so with the Macrocosm. As with the small Individual Self, So with the Greater, Larger Self.
It’s clear that Jalandhar and his Love-Motivated father’s hand hewn path through rocks for his children to get to school is a Microcosm of Loving Connectivity.
It is also clear that the New Silk Road is a love motivated path for connectivity for BILLIONS of smaller selves….and is a Macrocosm ….at least in relation to Jalandhar…..but of the same loving essence.
It is therefore an unfortunate (and entirely correctable) error to slander it with such “I’ll make believe whatever gets my rocks off” silliness as you posted December 31.
Furthermore, this effort of mine is a loving act of kindness to assit you in deleting such absurd fallacies of composition, and grave geopolitically motivated errors of judgment. Gooodnight.
Love, Bro 93
Bro,
Dennis was brought up with the same RC indoctrination that I was and that involves implanting fear and guilt. The Jesuitical skills are such that this early conditioning goes so deep that it is, to all intents and purposes, ineradicable. I decided to rebel around the age of 8, when my own brain started to kick in, and paid a very heavy price which I have never had cause to regret paying. Dennis became a priest and was immersed in this garbage. Perhaps he didn’t have such a heavy dose of those ‘skills’ to engender resistance.
It is a lifetime’s work to repair this early conditioning, the best that most can do is counter it some way. Being berated on the internet ain’t going to do anything except provoke resistance to being berated. Cut him some slack, he has a long road to travel and you haven’t even asked if he wants to make the journey. It ain’t your choice to make on his behalf.
BTW, how’s it going with that frozen shoulder?
Quick stop. More on the Catholic issue later.
It is sort of central to the World strategic situation/mess, isn’t it?
My shoulder isn’t frozen any more (My,. OM, you are “digging deep” into the archives!)
Impressive!
More dialogue when time permits.
But just so you know, beration of one individual is not my goal. There are others of us that have similar problems, whether physical (shoulder for eg), mental or spiritual. Very, very few are totally alone in whatever condition they are in.
I have been emailed with considerable agitation about our Friend from Ojai and the irritation he knows he frequently causes and admits (LOL) to enjoying……. being the burr under the saddle…..and the refrain is: “He won’t, he can’t change.”
I realize that is probably a correct assessment, but I don’t mind some work on the even the most stubborn issues, (like the bigger than anyone’s ego issues we are examining here….) because none of us are unique in having some of those particular issues. And before they become unchangeable….it IS possible for someone with similar tendencies to make course corrections from various types of errors, while the discernment, will, and capacity to adjust still exist.
All for now. I owe, it’s off to work I go.
Cheers!
Bro,
Yes, it is possible but for Dennis the process would be infinitely more painful and of far longer duration than fixing a frozen shoulder or two. It ain’t your job to ‘save’ anyone from themselves, because: 1) its not possible and 2) you are attempting to replace one form of indoctrination with your own supposedly ‘superior’ opinions—i.e. another form of indoctrination.
What do you know, anyway, that makes you an authority, on Dennis or anything or anyone else?
Definitely no more than I do and I know very little.
What you are doing is attacking his indispensible ego defences from a position of complete ignorance. Stupid and dangerous for an inexperienced and unqualified person, absolutely disastrous from a stranger via the internet.
What is that biblical thing about dealing with motes in eyes? If you knew your own ego as well as you pretend to know others you would acknowledge the timeless truth in that parable.
At Dennis’s stage of life he might have other priorities—quite apart from dealing with being recently burned out of his home.
Lay off.

i do not have time and means to make a more applicable depiction (gender stuff).

Israeli Army Ordered to Shoot Down Passenger Planes to Kill Arafat in 1982
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/idf-ordered-to-shoot-down-passenger-planes-to-kill-arafat-in-1982-1.5763575
A real dream last night.
A room, young children at a party dressed in baby panda bear outfits, adults around, it was a fund raising party, I wrote out a check for £12 raised. Children are soft and cuddly , tender, should we not like to see them as we see baby pandas to be looked after and nurtured before they grow into the black and white of the world?
My country cottage, by a field and wood, being finished off, bare at the moment. Upstairs looking out of the window, machine gun in my hand, waiting, in the morning. I know they will come, I can feel it.
A man is creeping forward now later in the afternoon, I have been waiting and watchful all day , comes through the front door quietly now, I have him, I quietly step onto the landing, point my machine gun at him from above in left hand, I have caught him by surprise, I fire, but the bullets are just dust.
He looks up, fires his gun but also his bullets are dust. We both have dud ammo, not what we believed we had.
The situation is pointless we realise , we look at each other. He looks at stuff in between floor joists as I have not finished putting the boarding down. He asks what is happening, he seems to be an ordinary American, I say it is just storage . I said I knew you were coming, I could feel it.
He places and leaves his ivory handled killer knife there too, goes away.
Later, Silviu comes to collect the raised money, as the first cheque is damaged in my wallet, I start to write a second, or should it be cash, wondering if it is pointless as it is so little, but carry on, with my wife and friends around at my other home.
I know that “they” will return, I will feel it.
—————————————————————————————————
Silviu is a “real person’ he taught many Romanian folk dances in Holland, German and around Europe, running tours back to his homeland ,sadly I learnt recently that he had committed suicide three years ago out of depression living apart from his wife and two lovely children, so rest in peace Silviu, thank you for all your energies, friendship, and all the lovely dance workshops and Balkan Festivals.
———————————————————————————-
Herb, coupla years ago I wrote about blackbirds in my garden, if somehow it is only easily retrievable could you send a link or the text back? Many thanks if you can, but thanks anyways. It is just we still have the mother bird I shelter and feed and try to look after as she has a crippled right leg.
————————————————————————————
Strange stuff in my head sometimes.
Strange stuff indeed but not boring JJ ! Sometimes I have starnge dreams too, that’s a very different world and when you are there, you never thought at it as a dream, things are all very real, someimes overwelming. I do remember the blackbird in your garden you wrote about, it is still there in the archives somewhere.
Regarding Silviu, I’m sorry for him, many Romanians had that fate because of this new breave world which opened the gates of hell upon many many people. How many such tragedies have happened during the latest 25 years only God nows, probably nobody cares to make a statistic, this is also a bad and ugly dream for many. Sadly, those people have perished and nothing could bring them back, not even the hope. The world is cruel and without mercy, who’s gone is forgotten, nobody cares only the relatives, and their is the greatest burden, to live with this painful loss of a loved one, for what and why ? they will not get the answers, there is silence.
thank you for you thoughts
here he is

Guggenheim Rejects White House Request for Van Gogh, Offers Gold Toilet Instead
https://sputniknews.com/viral/201801261061079709-guggenheim-rejects-white-house-request-offers-gold-toilet-instead/
“On Thursday, it was revealed by the Washington Post that US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump requested a Van Gogh painting from the Guggenheim Museum for the White House. Rather than obliging the couple, however, curators instead offered the Trumps its 18K gold toilet, dubbed “America.”
In a September 15 email obtained by the Post, curator Nancy Spector wrote that the toilet, which had already wrapped up its exhibition, was available, “should the President and First Lady have any interest in installing it in the White House.”
“We are sorry not to be able to accommodate your original request, but remain hopeful that this special offer may be of interest,” Spector said in the shady email. “[The artist] would like to offer it to the White House for a long-term loan. It is, of course, extremely valuable and somewhat fragile, but we would provide all the instructions for its installation and care.”
The golden throne, the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, was open to museumgoers for use during its run in the Guggenheim bathroom starting in 2016 and is estimated to have cost $1 million, the Kansas City Star reported.
The Trumps initially inquired about obtaining Van Gogh’s “Landscape with Snow” painting.
The Guggenheim described the toilet as offering “a wink to the excesses of the art market but also evokes the American dream of opportunity for all — its utility ultimately reminding us of the inescapable physical realities of our shared humanity.”
The Freest State in the world…where?
Actually it’s a story…and lotsa fun. And it was written by the guy that wrote the treasure of sierra madre… Really wonderful! (met John Houston once at a barbecue…funny world – I did not know who he was, but he did look familiar…)
https://libcom.org/library/in-freest-state-in-world-b-traven-ret-marut
It begins (familiar to murkinz) “It is not only the freest state in the world but it also has the freest voting system in the world. A voting system that enables the man who owns one or twenty large newspapers, or who takes the trouble to have several million cleverly gotten-up leaflets printed and distributed, to gain as much influence on the election as he desires. A voting system which permits the church confessional and the pulpit, the marital bed and the death bed, to be used for purposes of political propaganda, is indeed the freest voting system on earth….”
You get the idea…
about the author…I did some digging –

Dennis, in particular – because of the floods and fires…might want to read The Flood that could Change Everything..http://features.weather.com/us-climate-change/california/

Against the jaws of a vise, consisting of a domestic population kept in obedient thrall by fairly rough means, and a rising Heartland economy…undermined by internal fissures and vast criminalities – against these forces and trends the Reich now faces the ruin of structures and estates…farms and factories and roads…vast floods and droughts…maybe locusts and frogs…so to say.
The Fates conspire, eh?
Anyway the novel of Sierra Madre is bettern the flick.
flick is good tho,,,solidcommie in tasty wrapping.
The Dutch media is being used to give evidence ‘proving’ Russian hacking of US 2016 elections.
In other words: The Netherlands hangs out her lapdog to US powers status for all the world to see.
https://www.volkskrant.nl/tech/dutch-agencies-provide-crucial-intel-about-russia-s-interference-in-us-elections~a4561913/
However, the only thing various commentators seem to agree upon is that the AIVD (Dutch intelligence service) isn’t available for commenting on the Dutch media reports.
https://www.rt.com/newsline/417089-dutch-us-election-peskov/ and https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/01/26/blockbuster-dutch-agencies-provide-crucial-intel-about-russias-interference-in-us-elections/
Of course the Dutch PM is using this to promote a new bill giving the intelligence services ever wider powers:
